When you prepare a Smart Instrumentation domain for publishing to DeltaV, you must be careful to enter values according to the table that follows.
-
If you diverge from the following table and its notes, the software does not validate the data; however, the DeltaV reconciliation program will reject data values that are incompatible. For complete details of the exact DeltaV values to use, please refer to your DeltaV Hardware Manual.
-
If you intend to publish fieldbus data, set the relevant option on the Preferences dialog. For details, see Interfaces > DCS Vendors (Preferences).
The entries in the Value column indicate you must act as follows:
A - Accept DeltaV Value
Do NOT change the value of this field.
E - Enter Valid Value
Accept the value retrieved from DeltaV, if one exists, or enter a different valid value.
O - Optional Value
Accept the value retrieved from DeltaV, if one exists, or enter a different valid value, or enter no value.
Any other entry
The value must be as stated.

DeltaV redundant I/O cards are wide and therefore occupy two adjacent slots in their carriers. The cards can only be placed in odd-numbered slots. DeltaV I/O cards have their terminations on the I/O cards themselves, so there is no need for separate termination cards to be connected to the I/O cards. On the Control System tab of the I/O Termination dialog, you must select the Define a redundant I/O card check box. On publishing the data, this indicates to DeltaV that the card is defined as a redundant double-width I/O card. |
