DeltaV S-series platform

The DeltaV S-series platform includes major enhancements to I/O processing, operator displays, asset management, batch capability, and security that reduce complexity and simplify and speed commissioning. I/O options include wireless, HART, analog input (AI), analog output (AO), digital input (DI), digital output (DO), digital processor (DP), or thermocouple (T/C), among others. The I/O devices can be placed in a rack room, a remote location, a hazardous area, a safety system, or a harsh environment. Users can choose traditional wired, wireless, bussed, or electronic marshalling. Electronic marshalling eliminates two-thirds of the wiring and connections needed by conventional marshalling cabinets. Single-channel CHARacterization ModuleS (CHARMS) relay I/O information to any DeltaV controller via an Ethernet connection, which eliminates the need for users to wire I/O to specific controller I/O cards. These benefits improve plant uptime, and make projects simpler and easier to engineer and implement.
