Emerson Ethernet I/O Card (EIOC) Benefits 1

Benefits

Ability to communicate directly to Ethernet Device

Networks. Use the EIOC to monitor and control

Ethernet Devices.

„ Powerful and Scalable. The EIOC allows a huge amount of

data coming from Ethernet Devices to be accessed in DeltaV,

and is scalable to fit your needs with licensing based on the

number of devices you connect. The EIOC can bring:

• Up to 32,000 signals from 256 Ethernet Devices when

using Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP, or IEC61850 MMS.

• Up to 30,000 signals from 64 Ethernet Devices when

using OPC UA client protocol.

• Up to 2000 tags (10 signals per tag) from 256 Ethernet

Devices when using EtherNet/IP Control Tag

Integration Protocol.

„ Monitoring. Data values integrated into the EIOC can

be used in Control Modules running inside the EIOC.

These control modules allow alarm generation,

history collection, and viewing by the operator,

as with control modules running in a Controller

using traditional DeltaV native I/O.

„ Supports control functionality. In addition,

function blocks allowing for discrete control and limited

PID control are supported for the EIOC. No assignment to a

controller is required. Motors, switchgear, variable frequency

drives; or any device that communicate via Ethernet

protocols can be controlled directly from the EIOC.

„ Easy to connect to Ethernet Devices using Modbus TCP,

EtherNet/IP, IEC61850 MMS, OPC UA client and EtherNet/

IP Control Tag Integration protocols. Use the EIOC Ethernet

protocols to connect your DeltaV system to your Ethernet

Device Networks.
