Product Description and Specification

The I/O interface carrier plugs on to the
power/controller carrier. The power/controller carrier
supplies the system power and communications
between the I/O interfaces and the controller. The
controller processes the I/O interface information.
For the horizontal-mount solution, an additional
power/controller carrier is required for use with
redundant controllers.
Mount your interface carrier on a T-type DIN rail.

The I/O interface carrier includes the connections for
the bulk AC to 24 VDC power supply, I/O interfaces,
and terminal blocks. Each I/O interface carrier is
equipped with a connector that allows an additional
I/O interface carrier to be plugged on to it. Up to 64
I/O interfaces and eight 8-wide I/O interface carriers
are supported by a single I/O subsystem. For the

enables you to connect 2-wide carriers together. For

used with any DeltaV system, regardless of software
revision level.
With the introduction of DeltaV SIS in the V8

software release, the left one-wide and right one-
wide dual carrier extenders have two, 44-pin D-Shell
connectors which supports dual cables for a fault
tolerant configuration. The A and B connectors are
in parallel so either port may be used. The Vertical
mount carriers do not support dual cables. DeltaV
SIS cannot be used on Vertical carriers – the new
dual carrier extenders (for horizontal) are a pre-
requisite for DeltaV SIS.

I/O Terminal Blocks

A variety of I/O terminal blocks is available to meet
specific functionality and environmental
requirements. I/O terminal blocks and I/O cards used
together are equipped with function and field wiring
protection keys to ensure that only the I/O card and
I/O terminal block that match functionally can be
plugged into each other.
The terminal block keys can be preset to speed

installation. For field devices that are located in an
intrinsically safe zone, or discrete field devices that
require more than the maximum specified current,
standard mass terminated interfaces are provided
with 10-, 16-, or 24-pin connections to allow mass
termination cable connection to intermediary panels.
The systems integrator usually installs these panels.
The low-level signals are conducted over 0.093 mm²
(28 AWG) ribbon cable or round instrument cable.
For field devices requiring external power, the 4-wire

I/O terminal block is available. This particular I/O
terminal block is used in conjunction with the AI, 4-
20 mA card.

10/100 Managed Switches

The Cisco managed switches listed below are intended for use in larger DeltaV networks (greater than 15 nodes)
and in any DeltaV network where a managed switch network is desired. These switches can be installed on a
DeltaV system containing SMC switches or existing 3COM switches.
DeltaV supports only a specific version of Cisco switch software, depending on the switch type. DeltaV requires a
specific configuration of the switch that is different from the Cisco default configuration. All Cisco switches
shipped from Emerson have the correct software version installed and have been pre-configured per our
specifications. Any switch supplied by others must have the software version changed to our supported version
and configured per the instructions in DeltaV Books Online to be supported by Emerson Process Management.

* Versions are correct as of the latest revision of this document but are subject to change without notice. If
switches are supplied by others, they must have their software versions flashed to the supported version and they
must be configured specifically for use with the DeltaV system per the instructions in our documentation. Please
confirm latest supported software versions with your DeltaV sales office before providing equipment not
purchased from Emerson Process Management.
** These units are “stacked” by using standard CAT5 or Fiber MTRJ cables on the front panel connections. A
single 100MB connection provides sufficient bandwidth to interconnect these switches in a DeltaV system. DeltaV
supports Cisco EtherChannel connections if more bandwidth is desired. Note that “stacking” these devices
reduces the available front panel connections by one port for each “stacked” connection.

A DeviceNet slave is a peripheral device (I/O device,

The amount of input and output information depends

on the device type.
Only slave devices that support polling may be used.

The DeltaV DeviceNet card (master) cyclically reads

must be available for every DeviceNet slave. The
DeltaV system uses the information in the EDS file
to set up the communications to the slave device.

Carriers
All DeltaV I.S. I/O cards are contained in modular 8-wide carriers. Connect the carriers in the most efficient
configuration for your plant. The carriers have multi-pin connectors to ensure that I.S. I/O is never connected to
non-I.S. I/O.
Power supplies for I.S. I/O modules using field wiring have their own modular carriers. These carriers connect
between the I/O carriers.
Use a LocalBus isolator to connect I.S. I/O with non-I.S. field wiring. The LocalBus isolator resides on its own

OR*
Generates a discrete output value based on the logical OR of 2 to 16 discrete inputs. When one or
more of the inputs is True (1), the output is set True (1).
Positive Edge Trigger*
Generates a True (1) discrete pulse output when the discrete input makes a positive (0-to-1, False-to-
True) transition since the last execution of the block. If there has been no transition (or a negative
transition), the discrete output of the block is False (0).
Reset/Set Flip-flop*
Generates a discrete output value based on NOR logic of Reset and Set inputs. If the Reset input is
False (0) and the Set input is True (1), the output is True. The output remains True regardless of the
Set value until the Reset value is True. When Reset becomes True, the output is False.
Set/Reset Flip-flop*
Generates a discrete output value based on NAND logic of Set and Reset inputs. When the Reset
input is False (0) and the Set input is True (1), the output is True. The output remains True until the
Reset input is True and the Set input is False. When the Reset input is True, the output is equal to the
Set input.
Transfer*

System Power Supplies

One AC/DC system power supply is sufficient for
many small DeltaV installations. The power supply
provides 1.25 A. This is enough for:
• 8 discrete I/O cards
• 8 analog I/O cards
• 4 serial I/O cards
• 4 Series 2 H1 cards
One 12/24-volt system power supply is required for

medium to large DeltaV installations. A second
power supply would be required to provide
redundancy.
Using Multiple Bulk Power Supplies

The DIN rail mounted bulk AC to 24 VDC and bulk AC to 12 VDC power supplies can be used in systems
requiring load sharing as well as redundancy. The DIN rail-mounted bulk power supplies have an integrated OR-
ing diode. If the DIN rail-mounted bulk power supply is used in a system that requires redundancy or load sharing,

• Short circuit < 100 ohm

• Open circuit > 25 K ohm
Line Fault Detection

The I.S. discrete output high-side channels have line fault detection that can be enabled on a channel-by-channel
basis as a configuration item. When line fault detection is enabled, the card detects open and short line fault
conditions by performing an internal readback of the output to verify its value in both on and off states. The card
tests the opposite state of its current value by temporarily changing the output to that value, performing the
internal readback, then returning the output to its configured output value. The pulses to the opposite state are
never greater than 400 μSec. High-speed inputs that connect to a discrete output channel with line fault enabled
must consider these pulses in the input software scheme.
Note: Total cable capacitance of less than 30nF is acceptable. Line fault detection does not work with large
inductive or capacitive loads and must be disabled under these conditions.

• For each Zone 1 Remote I/O scanner you will need to select the mounting carrier. This is done by ordering
the VE4251 part number.
• Each Zone 1 Remote I/O scanner requires a power feed rated for a Zone 1 area to maintain the safety
certification when mounted in Hazardous area. If mounted in general purpose area, then regular 24V DC
power may be used.
• Each Zone 1 Remote I/O scanner requires an energy limited fiber optic connection (or two if redundant
communications are used) if mounted in Zone 1. A standard 100Mb fiber optic switch will work, but does
not provide the necessary safety requirements. Use the VE6019 fiber switch to provide the necessary
energy limiting.
• Each Zone 1 Remote I/O scanner requires a dedicated power supply.
• Zone 1 Remote I/O is supported in the DeltaV v8.1 release and above.
