• Smart Instrumentation is only capable of handling certain I/O types that DeltaV supports. For this reason, not all the I/O cards that you download in the DeltaV definitions are compatible with Smart Instrumentation: for example, the interface does not handle SI and Serial cards.

• Once you have retrieved Foundation Fieldbus or HART definitions, you can use them to make appropriate associations among Foundation Fieldbus device types, instrument manufacturers, and Smart Instrumentation instrument types. For details, see Associate Device Types for DCS Vendors.

• When retrieving DeltaV definitions, the software automatically adds new definitions and updates any modifications to definitions that already exist in the Smart Instrumentation database. However, you must delete any redundant definitions manually from the Reference Explorer.
