Emerson DeltaV™ SX Controller Benefits 1

Benefits

Scalable controllers. The SX controller complements the

SQ controller by providing additional CPU and Memory

for those applications that need more control capacity:

„ Late Changes. You can easily upgrade an SD Plus or

SQ controller to an SX to handle project scope changes

late in the project. Simply replace the SD Plus or SQ with

the SX and all existing configuration, documentation and

hardware design remain the same — forgiving.

„ Speed. The SX controller supports all the features you’ve

come to expect from the DeltaV system: self-addressing,

automatic I/O detection. All these features are designed

to make your projects execute faster — just plug and play!

„ Redundant Architecture. The SX controller supports

1:1 redundancy for increased availability. Redundant SD

Plus or SQ controllers can be upgraded to SX controllers

online — robust!

Quick Assembly. The S-series hardware has been designed for

speed of project execution. Carriers snap to standard DIN rails

and controllers and S-series IO snap into position without the

use of retaining screws.

Easy to Use. Controllers are also easy to configure.

Simply connect the SX to the DeltaV network and auto-sense

it from DeltaV Explorer. Add the controller and all its IO cards

to the system database and all components are automatically

addressed and communicating.

„ Control strategies are developed using IEC-61131

programming techniques: Function Blocks,

Sequential Function Charts and Structured Text.

„ Automatic diagnostics and event reporting with

time stamps applied in the controller.

„ Set control execution to match process dynamics

and controller scheduling adjusts automatically.

„ Reference any parameter by its module name,

regardless of its location in the system.

„ Synchronized system clock for consistent time

based event driven actions across the system.

„ Online expandable IO carriers allow new cards to be added

online, with autosense capability, for modular system growth

„ Hardware redundancy is automatically detected with zero

configuration effort.
