I/O Carriers feature vertical orientation.
Press Release Summary:
Optimizing airflow and thermal management, DeltaV(TM) VerticalPlus I/O Carriers support simplex and redundant DeltaV SIS modules that communicate via redundant safety bus, which is separate from basic process control system communications. Carriers can also communicate secure SIS data via redundant SISNet Repeaters to other DeltaV SIS nodes on vertical and horizontal carriers. Featuring modular design, carriers can be added as needed and only require T-type DIN rail for mounting.
Original Press Release:
Emerson's New Vertical I/O for Deltav(TM) System Offers Greater Plant Lifecycle Savings
VerticalPlus I/O subsystem carriers are easier to install and maintain while reducing overall energy costs
AUSTIN, TEXAS (July 9, 2008) - Emerson Process Management announces the release of the DeltaV(TM) VerticalPlus I/O carriers which extend the benefits of DeltaV vertical I/O to DeltaV SIS, providing flexible installation, increased I/O density, and better thermal management for both DeltaV and DeltaV SIS applications.
The vertical carrier orientation reduces lifecycle costs through lower installation, maintenance, and energy costs. Vertical I/O is easier to install and maintain because cables coming from the bottom of cabinets can be fanned out and terminated without multiple wire bends. This is consistent with current practices of delivering cables through the bottom of cabinets, especially in locations with raised-floor rooms. Overall air-conditioned cabinet footprint is reduced with vertical I/O and it provides better thermal management and improved airflow in cabinets due to the vertical orientation of cards.
Designed for SIS
The redesigned vertical carrier supports simplex and redundant DeltaV SIS modules that communicate via a redundant safety bus, which is separate from the basic process control system (BPCS) communications. VerticalPlus carriers can also communicate secure SIS data via redundant SISNet Repeaters to other DeltaV SIS nodes on vertical and horizontal carriers.
Modular design allows flexible installation
A T-type DIN rail is all you need to mount the power/controller carrier into place. Bussed field power is now separate for each individual card. The DeltaV system's modular design approach allows you to add I/O carriers as you need them.
