Switchover of a redundant I/O card is completed within

two scans of the I/O bus. Make-before-break contacts ensure

digital field instruments remain powered and the process

is undisturbed. Analog output signals are briefly driven by

both cards for <5 ms during switchover of the card.

Hardware alerts automatically report hardware integrity errors

for both the primary and secondary cards. Any event that

causes a switchover is also reported automatically through the

system hardware alerts and is logged in the Event Chronicle.

Events that can cause a switchover include:

„ Hardware failure within the active card.

„ Communications failure between the active card and the controller.

„ Detection of a fault in the field wiring.

Reduced installation time and expense: The DeltaV system’s

S-series I/O interfaces are designed for quick assembly and

error proof maintenance. All carriers snap onto T-DIN rails and

interfaces snap into the I/O slots without the use of any tools.

Each I/O interface has a separate wiring terminal block,

which connects field wiring to the interface. The I/O card can

easily be removed without touching the I/O wiring on the

terminal block. Some I/O cards can also use the fused terminal

block, which is equipped with in-line fuses that can be pulled

to isolate power to the field circuit.
