Emerson DeltaV™ SQ Controller Scalable Controller

Expandable controller

Fast assembly

Easy to use

Field-proven architecture

Designed for electronic debugging

Advanced controllers

Introduction

DeltaV™ SQ controllers provide communication and control functions and integrate with ffeld devices and other nodes on the control network.

The SX and SQ controllers offer the option of matching controller capacity to process requirements. In addition, they offer new ease-of-use features that eliminate mounting screws and speed cabinet assembly.

Control strategies and system configurations created on earlier DeltaV systems can be used with this controller.

The SQ controllers have all the features and functionality of the M-Series controllers, including support for CHARM-based electronic commissioning.

See the control software product data sheet for the control language implemented in the controller.

Advantages

Scalable Controller: The SQ controller complements the SX controller by providing a smaller controller platform at a lower price point for small to medium-sized applications:

Fast: The SQ controller supports all the features you would expect from a DeltaV system: self-addressing, automatic I/O detection. All of these features are designed to

All of these features are designed to make your projects faster - plug and play!

Redundant Architecture: SQ controllers support 1:1 redundancy for increased availability. Redundant SQ controllers can be upgraded to SX controllers online - ruggedized!

Back-end Changes: You can easily upgrade SQ controllers to SX to handle project scope changes later in the project.

Simply replace the SQ controllers with SX controllers, and all existing configurations, documentation, and hardware design will remain intact.

Fast Assembly: S-Series hardware is designed to speed project execution. Brackets snap to standard DIN rails, and controllers and S-Series I/O snap into place without the need for set screws.

Easy to Use: The controller is also easy to connect.

Simply connect the SQ to the DeltaV network and have it auto-detected by DeltaV Explorer.

Add the controller and all its I/O interfaces to the system database and all components are automatically addressed and communicated with. No dip switches or jumpers need to be set.

Field-proven architecture The SQ controller is an evolution of the DeltaV MQ controller.

The new design enhances installation and stability while still utilizing the same field-proven processor and operating system.

All S-Series I/O cards run the latest enhancements to the corresponding M-Series I/O cards and provide the same field-proven, reliable operation.

Designed for electronic tuning, the SQ controllers have highly assignable I/O functions that can be electronically dispatched using CHARMs-based functions.

The electronic dispatch I/Os can be mounted in any position for easy system design and expansion with conventional I/O subsystems.

Advanced Control

The SQ controller supports all the advanced control features expected of a world-class distributed control system:

Batch processing software

Model predictive control

Neural Networks

Product Description The SQ controller executes control logic based on process signals from the I/O subsystem.

The SQ Controller executes control logic based on process signals from the I/O subsystem and provides communication with the rest of the DeltaV control system for operator interaction and data collection.

Each controller node can be installed as a simplex or redundant node. Each controller node can be installed as a stand-alone or redundant node.

Each controller node can be installed as a standalone or redundant node.

The controller is connected to an I/O carrier mounted on the right side of the controller carrier. Up to 8 carriers can be connected to the local bus I/O.

Each carrier has 8 I/O cards for a total of 64 legacy I/O cards. In addition to the 8 local input/output carriers, each controller can be connected to an additional 16 I/O carriers.

Each controller can also communicate with an additional 16 remote I/O units that carry legacy card-based inputs/outputs.

In addition to traditional I/O cards, the local bus supports Feldbus technologies including Foundation Feldbus, Proffbus DP, DeviceNet and AS-i protocols.
