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.

If you are defining a DeltaV redundant I/O card for a DCS panel, make sure that

  • In the Primary location group box the value of Position is an odd number.

  • The value of Position for the Secondary location is an even number greater than the Position value for the Primary location.

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.

You can use only the following DeltaV cards as redundant I/O cards:

  • AI_8CH_HART_4-20_RED

  • AO_8CH_HART_4- 20_RED

  • RFIC

  • DI_8CH_24VDC_DCT_RED

  • DO_8CH_24VDC_HSS_RED

  • RED_PROG_SERIAL_32DS

  • RED_SERIAL_32DS

After you retrieve DeltaV definitions, the Channel Types supporting table is populated with DeltaV-compatible channel types for DeltaV-compatible I/O strip types. These are the only DeltaV-compatible values for the Channel Type field in the Channels dialog.

Tag Number Properties, Fieldbus tab

Fieldbus device revision

E

  • When you create a fieldbus tag based on a given instrument type, on the General tab of the Tag Number Properties dialog, make sure that the value that you select from the Manufacturer list is among the acceptable values that you set for this instrument type during retrieval from DeltaV.

  • The values available on the Fieldbus tab of the Tag Number Properties dialog under Fieldbus device revision are determined by the value that you select from the Manufacturer list on the General tab.

Tag Number Properties, Fieldbus tab

Backup link master

E

  • On the Fieldbus tab of the Tag Number Properties dialog, select the Backup link master check box only for a device that you verified is capable of being a backup.

  • On the Fieldbus tab of the Tag Number Properties dialog, under Field device address, you must type a value between 20 and 35 (inclusive).  If you selected the Backup link master check box, and enter 20 as a value for Field device address.
