Emerson M-series Virtual I/O Module 2

Introduction

The DeltaV M-series Virtual I/O Module 2 (VIM2) provides nonintrusive simulation of the

DeltaV M-series I/O Cards and digital bus field devices for process simulation

when used with MYNAH Technologies’ MiMiC Simulation Software.

DeltaV Control strategies and system configurations can be fully tested with this powerful simulation interface.

The VIM2 also provides an interface to Ethernet I/O networks and devices that

use the Modbus TCP/IP or Ethernet/IP protocol drivers.

DeltaV M-series controllers can read and write signals from plant floor devices connected

to Ethernet I/O networks such as PLC’s, Motor Control Centers, and Weigh Scales.

Benefits

Non-Intrusive DeltaV I/O simulation. Use the VIM2 in conjunction with the

MYNAH Technologies’ MiMiC Simulation Software to simulate your DeltaV M-Series I/O and digital bus field devices.

 Supports DeltaV I/O modules. Provides completely non-intrusive simulation of all DeltaV M-series I/O Modules.

Supports autosensing of I/O and accurate testing of controller loading.

DeltaV configuration can be fully tested without modifying the control strategies.

 Digital bus support. Provides simulation of all DeltaV Digital Busses and Foundation Fieldbus function blocks.

Supports Foundation Fieldbus control in the field configuration testing.

 Powerful simulation solution. Provides full simulation of up to 64 DeltaV I/O modules per controller.

Simulation execution is fast and efficient; the DeltaV controller thinks it’s talking with real IO.

Powerful integration solution. Use the VIM2 in conjunction with the MYNAH

Ethernet I/O drivers to integrate your DeltaV system with your Ethernet I/O device networks.

 Large device capacity. Each VIM emulates four DeltaV Serial Cards and support up

to 128 Serial Card Datasets of information from 32 network devices in simplex installations and 16 devices in redundant installations.

Communication over the Ethernet I/O device network is fast and efficient.

 Flexible networking. User configurable IP addressing allows the VIM2 to be used in almost any

plant environment regardless of networking scheme.
