Supported Industrial

Ethernet Protocols:

Modbus TCP Interface

The Modbus TCP interface will support Modbus data

sources such as PLCs, MCCs, analyzers and similar devices

communicating Modbus TCP. The Modbus TCP interface is a

Modbus Client reading and writing data from/to Modbus Server

devices. The Modbus server devices can be Modbus TCP devices

or Modbus serial devices using a Modbus TCP gateway.

The Modbus TCP interface supports the following types of

data access:

„ Reading input data from Modbus Coils, Discrete Input,

Holding Registers, and Input Registers.

„ Writing output data to Coils and Holding registers.

All reads will be performed periodically and outputs will be

sent when they are written.

Listed by category, the following is a complete list of the

function blocks available with the EIOC.

Advanced Control – None

Advanced Functions – State Transition, Step Sequencer

Analog Control – Analog Tracking, Calc/Logic, Filter,

Input Selector, Scaler, Signal Characterizer, Signal Generator,

Signal Selector, Bias/Gain, Manual Loader, PID, Rate Limit,

Ramp, Enhanced Ramp, Splitter, Limit

Energy Metering – None

IO – Alarm Detection, AI, AO, DI, DO

Tag I/O – DI, DO, AI, AO

Logical – All

Math – All

Special Items – All

Timer Counter – All

Access to DeltaV Live graphics, DeltaV Operate graphics, and

the alarms and history collection from EIOC control modules

follows the same rules and mechanisms as control modules

running in the controllers in a DeltaV System.

The EIOC mounts on the dual horizontal carrier, which includes

redundant Power input Terminals as well as redundant

Ethernet Isolation ports. The Ethernet Isolation ports isolate

the redundant DeltaV Control Network communication

from the redundant Ethernet Device Networks. An Industrial

Networks Firewall is recommended to provide added security

based on deep packet inspection to restrict communications

at the Ethernet device and Ethernet protocol level. In this way,

Robustness and Security is ensured.

When configuring the EIOC Control Modules, all typical

Function blocks needed for continuous operation are available;

however, the usage of the following Function blocks are limited

in the EIOC:

„ 256 DC’s, EDC’s and DCC’s – used for such applications as

motor control in MCCs.

„ 26 PID’s – analog control where all or most of the signals are

coming from Ethernet Devices.

„ 16 SEQs – Sequence function block used for sequencing

motor control states.

„ 16 STDs – State Transition Diagram used in sequencing and

can be used with the SEQ function blocks.

„ Batch control, SFCs, PLMs, and Equipment Modules are not

supported in the EIOC.

To maintain the capacity of the EIOC, consideration should be

taken to keep modules as lean as possible. Heavy configuration

in the modules will decrease the capacity of 2000 modules in

the EIOC.

Product Description

The EIOC is a big pipe for the integration of process data from

3rd party Ethernet Devices, such as PLCs and smart field devices

such as Intelligent Field Devices (IFDs) and Intelligent Electronic

Devices (IEDs). A network of these Ethernet Devices can be

directly connected to the EIOC. The Ethernet Devices can

communicate to the EIOC using one of five protocols;

Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP, IEC61850 MMS, OPC UA client

and EtherNet/IP Control Tag Integration. The EIOC connects

directly into the DeltaV Control Network and can be placed

remotely in an enclosure in the field.

The EIOC is an independent embedded data server. This means

that there is no need for a separate controller to process the

data being integrated into the EIOC. Control Modules needed

to process the data from the Ethernet Devices are assigned and

executed in the EIOC. In this way, communications with the

devices are fast and direct. Any parameters from the modules

running in the EIOC can be read by both S-series and M-series

controllers using External References when needed in control

strategies at the controller level.

„ Powerful solution that communicates directly

to external Ethernet Device Networks

„ Easy connection to devices using Modbus TCP,

EtherNet/IP, IEC61850 MMS, OPC UA client or

EtherNet/IP Control Tag Integration protocols

„ Proven S-series packaging

„ Modular with easy to add redundancy

„ Communication to any M- and S-series Controller

Introduction

The Ethernet I/O Card (EIOC) provides a platform to access data

from Ethernet devices in the DeltaV™ system. Ethernet Devices

capable of talking Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP, IEC 61850 MMS

(Manufacturing Message Specification), OPC UA client and

EtherNet/IP Control Tag Integration protocols are supported.

The EIOC provides monitoring and control of Ethernet Devices

on the Ethernet Device Network via control modules assigned

to and executed in the EIOC. Ethernet Devices like PLCs,

Motor Control Centers, drives, switchgear and others can be

controlled directly by the EIOC, independent of a controller

WirelessHART devices can be easily added to a mesh network

using AMS Device Manager to assign the Network ID and

Join Key. Once configured, simply install the device in the

field and it is automatically detected and reconciled through

DeltaV Explorer. The device can be assigned to any one of

four controllers. Each device is also automatically defined

with PlantWeb alerts that proactively report device health to

maintenance personnel, with zero configuration.

This provides added flexibility and accommodates late

changes where control modules may be reassigned to a

different controller.

The Ethernet I/O Ports of the WIOC are the same as DeltaV

CHARM I/O Cards (CIOC) and can be connected with CIOCs

in the DeltaV network topology. The I/O Port for copper

10/100BASE-TX media support a second “cascade” port that

allows a series of WIOCs to be daisy-chained together to

simplify the network design and reduce cost.

The WIOC uses the Smart Wireless technology supported by

WirelessHART devices and a Self-Organizing Network.

„„ No wireless expertise is required; devices automatically find

the best communication paths with Adaptive Mesh Routing.

„„ Network continuously monitors paths for

degradation and repairs itself.

„„ Adaptive behavior provides reliable, hands-off

operation and simplifies network deployments,

expansion, and reconfiguration.

If an obstruction is introduced into the mesh network, devices

will find the best alternate communication path. This alternate

path is automatically created by the network management

software and the device information will continue to flow.

WirelessHART Integration with the DeltaV

System and AMS Device Manager

Native integration with the DeltaV system enables you to

autosense the WIOC and easily commission it for seamless

integration with all DeltaV applications: Explorer, Diagnostics,

and Control Studio. The WIOC is commissioned into the DeltaV

I/O network and counts as one of the 300 I/O nodes.

Product Description

The WIOC is a native DeltaV I/O node that supports up to 100

wireless devices. The cards install on a 2-wide carrier, with each

card having its own Smart Wireless Field link. The WIOC can be

commissioned in a simplex mode if no redundancy is needed.

The WIOC allows redundancy to be completed later, when

needed – online and bumpless.

The WIOC carrier has two Ethernet IO Ports that connect to the

DeltaV Area Control Network and are available with copper or

fiberoptic media. The Smart Wireless Field links are connected

to the I/O card using a 4-conductor cable. The cable has a pair of

wires for power and a pair for the communication to the

field link.

The WIOC uses the Smart Wireless technology supported by

WirelessHART devices and a Self-Organizing Network.

„„ No wireless expertise is required; devices automatically find

the best communication paths with Adaptive Mesh Routing.

„„ Network continuously monitors paths for

degradation and repairs itself.

„„ Adaptive behavior provides reliable, hands-off

operation and simplifies network deployments,

expansion, and reconfiguration.

Product Description

The SX controller primary function is to execute control

modules that are designed to meet the specific control

requirements of the plant. These control modules use process

signals from the controller’s I/O subsystem and provide

communication of process data to the rest of the DeltaV

control system for operator interaction and data collection.

Each controller node can be installed as a simplex or redundant

node. The controllers are connected to the I/O carriers,

which are mounted to the right of the controller carriers.

Up to 8 carriers with 8 cards each can be connected to the

local bus I/O, for a total of 64 traditional I/O cards. In addition

to the 8 local I/O carriers, each controller can communicate

with an additional 16 Remote I/O units hosting traditional

card based I/O.

In addition to traditional I/O cards, the local bus supports

fieldbus technologies, including Foundation fieldbus, Profibus DP,

DeviceNet and AS-i protocols. The I/O subsystem also supports

Serial interface cards as well as the Ethernet I/O interface.

These various I/O products provide a wide range of interfaces

to meet the needs of your control application.
