Emerson M-series Virtual I/O Module 2 Product Description

Product Description

The VIM2 may be used for either DeltaV I/O simulation or Ethernet I/O device integration.

The VIM2 mounts on a 2-wide horizontal or 4-wide vertical carrier on the left-hand-side of the DeltaV controller.

A dedicated DeltaV power supply is required.

IO Simulation When used with MYNAH’s MiMiC Simulation Software,

the VIM2 supports I/O simulation all DeltaV M-series I/O cards including classic IO,

Foundation Fieldbus, ProfibusDP, DeviceNet, ASi-bus and Serial.

MiMiC Simulation Software provide dynamic simulation for DeltaV system software acceptance testing and operator training.

The MiMiC software works by simulating the DeltaV I/O.

It also simulates field devices using Foundation Fieldbus, ProfibusDP, DeviceNet and AS-i buses.

In order for MiMiC to do this, the real I/O cards are disconnected from the control system.

The MiMiC driver writes to the I/O subsystem of the DeltaV controller.

Process models in MiMiC simulate realistic process reactions to control system output signals.

Each process controller being simulated uses one MiMiC Dataset.

A MiMiC server can have up to 32 datasets or ports. Each dataset can support up to 4000 MiMiC simulation tags.

The I/O simulation driver is provided with the VIM2 hardware, pre-loaded in the VIM2.

The MiMiC Simulation Software must be purchased separately from MYNAH Technologies.

Technical support for the MiMiC Simulation Software and I/O simulation driver is provided by MYNAH Technologies.
