Emerson DeltaV™ M-series Traditional I/O

Decreases installation time and expense

Plug-and-play installation saves money: All Traditional I/O components plug into the I/O interface carrier.

You can install the I/O interface carriers to manage anticipated growth and postpone

the I/O interfaces until you’re ready to install your additional field devices.

Phased installation saves time: As soon as you mount the I/O interface carrier, you’re ready to begin installing the field devices.

I/O terminal blocks plug directly onto the I/O interface carrier.

There is no need to have the I/O cards installed.

Keys: Traditional I/O interfaces and terminal blocks have  I/O function keys.

These keys ensure that the correct I/O  card is always plugged into the corresponding terminal block.

It’s incredibly easy to use and gives you time to do more.

This design enables you to initially install Traditional I/O  quickly and efficiently.

When you need to replace an I/O card, the function key design ensures that you will always install  it correctly.

This keying system provides a safety measure  by preventing the wrong I/O interface’s being installed.

Increases productivity

Real-time, online equipment additions: Online addition of new I/O interfaces means your process does not get interrupted.

As new equipment is added, the DeltaV Explorer

acknowledges it and assigns it basic configuration.

Increases process availability

1:1 Redundancy for Traditional and HART I/O cards:

DeltaV redundant I/O uses the same Series 2 I/O cards as  non- redundant I/O.

This allows you to leverage your investment in installed I/O and in I/O spares.

No additional configuration is needed when using a redundant channel. 

The redundant terminal blocks provide the same field wiring connections  as simplex blocks, so there is no extra wiring needed.

Autosense of redundancy: DeltaV autosenses redundant I/O, which greatly simplifies the task of adding redundancy to the system.

The redundant pair of cards is treated as one card  in the system tools.

Automatic Switchover: Should a primary I/O card fail,

the system automatically switches to the “standby” card without user intervention.

The operator is given clear notification of a switchover at the operator display.
