VersaPoint I/O

The VersaPoint™ Distributed I/O System offers optimal compactness and flexibility while allowing users to install the right amount of I/O for each application.

Allows users to install the right amount of I/O for each application.

VersaPoint adheres to open communication standards, including Ethernet, Profibus-DP™, and DeviceNet™, for easy connection to a wide range of PLCs, DCSs, and PC-based control systems.

It is suitable for packaging and material handling applications as well as monitoring and data acquisition.

Superior Flexibility

VersaPoint’s modular structure allows it to be easily adapted to a wide range of applications. It accommodates a range of discrete and analog I/O modules, from 1-point to 16-point densities.

VersaPoint also supports a wide range of specialized modules, from RTD and thermocouple inputs to positioning and counting modules, virtually combining intelligent automation with the simplicity of endpoint technology.

Compact size

VersaPoint saves valuable control panel space by eliminating the need to plug in terminals.

Its compact and versatile design saves up to 50% of space compared to conventional systems.

Reduced Installation Time

Installing VersaPoint couldn’t be quicker: I/O modules can be quickly and securely fastened to the DIN rail.

Thanks to the integrated I/O terminals and internal power bus, VersaPoint reduces wiring by up to 80%.

Cost-effective solution

Fast installation, reduced cabling, and more efficient use of cabinet space all make VersaPoint a great value.

Cost savings continue during operation. Extensive built-in diagnostics make identifying faults routine, maximizing uptime.

The Traditional I/O subsystem includes:

I/O interface carrier (a DIN rail surface mounted) on which all I/O related components are installed.

Bulk AC to 24V DC power supply for field devices.

An I/O interface consisting of an I/O card and an I/O terminal block.

A variety of analog and discrete I/O cards enclosed  in a common form factor that easily plugs into the  I/O interface carrier.

A variety of I/O terminal blocks mounted on the I/O interface carrier that can be pre-wired before I/O card installation.

I/O Cards

A variety of analog and discrete I/O cards are available to meet your specific requirements.

The following cards support simplex or redundant installation:

AI 4-20 mA HART 8 channels

AO-4-20 mA HART 8 channels

DI, 24V DC Dry Contact, 8 channels

DO 24V DC High-Side, 8 channels

AI (Plus) 4-20 mA HART, 16 channels

AO (Plus) 4-20 mA HART, 16 channels

DI (Plus) 24V DC, Dry Contact, 32 channels

DO (Plus) 24V DC, High-Side, 32 channels

Decreases capital equipment costs

Full system modularity: The Traditional I/O subsystem was designed with your investment in mind. All components are fully modular and may be installable under power. You add I/O interface carriers and I/O interfaces in groups of 4. 8. 16.or 32 channels as you need them. The modular design enables you to purchase the exact amount of I/O cards, 8-wide or 4-wide carriers, power/ controllers, and 2-wide carriers you need and add more DeltaV I/O as your system grows.

Reduced system footprint: The DeltaV system’s state-of-the- art form factor design of the I/O components enables you to mount the I/O interface carrier in a junction box in the field  so you significantly reduce the footprint of your equipment  and increase valuable control room space for other uses.

Installation: Save on wiring expenses by installing Classic Instrumentation in the field, near the actual field devices.

Mounting the controller with the I/O further reduces your wiring expenditures by eliminating the need for long runs  of multi-cores. The integrated design of the Traditional I/O subsystem can eliminate the need for marshalling panels.

This saves you even more in your total capital costs.

The provision of in-line fuses and bussed power saves  on installation costs compared with external fuses and  power distribution.

About Emerson 

Emerson’s Ovation™ Distributed Control System is known for providing precision control with superior performance.

Ovation controllers are designed for mission-critical operations in power and water/wastewater applications.

The OCR3000 model in the Ovation controller family is the successor to the Ovation OCR1100 controller.

The OCR3000 integrates the processor and IOIC module into a single module.

The Ovation OCR3000 controller provides up to 16 local I/O interfaces.

The I/O interfaces are identical to all previous models of Ovation OCR controllers.

The OCR3000 controller scans all 16 I/O branches in parallel, resulting in significant performance improvements.

The OCR3000 can be run as a standalone application when used with the standalone Controller Software Toolkit software.

The OCR3000 can be run as a stand-alone stand-alone application, eliminating the need to create a traditional Ovation network and database.
