PMCspan Details

CarrIEr BoarDS

Emerson offers a full line of PowerPC® microprocessor

based VME products which can be custom configured

for specific applications via on-board PMC slots. The

PMCspan expands this capability to further increase

customizing alternatives. It is compatible with Emerson’s

PowerPlus VME series. For further information on

these host CPUs, contact your local sales representative.

In order to support the increased PCI bus loading

associated with additional PMCs, PMCspan uses the

PLX6150. This PCI-to-PCI interface bridge supports a

32-bit primary bus interface and a 32-bit secondary

bus interface. PMCspan mates directly with the host

CPU via the separate PCI expansion connector.

When the maximum of two PMCspan modules are stacked

together, the top board does not require a second PCI

to-PCI interface bridge. Software views this secondary

module as an extension to the primary PMCspan.

The PMCspan board provides VMEbus processor

modules with greater expansion capabilities

• Single-slot 6U VMEbus format

• PLX6150 PCI-to-PCI interface bridge

• Support for two single-wide or one double-wide PCI Mezzanine

• Card (PMC) per PMCspan

• Stacking capability

• Front-panel and/or P2 I/O

• Compliant with PCI local bus specification (revision 2.1)

• Injector/ejector handles per VME64 extensions

• Compatible with Emerson’s PowerPlus VME series

The Emerson Network Power PMCspan board allows users to customize their exact I/O

requirements with Emerson’s VME-based CPU modules designed around the PowerPlus architecture.

When a PMCspan board is coupled with an Emerson processor module, the system

provides up to six PCI Mezzanine Cards (PMCs), more expansion capability than any

other VME-bus processor module. Each PMCspan board supports either two single

wide or one double-wide PMC. By stacking PMCspan boards onto a processor module,

a total of four additional single-wide PMCs can be added to Emerson’s compute

engines – either today or as future application growth demands.

The PMCspan is a standard 6U single-slot VMEbus module that links to its host board

via a PCI expansion connector. It supports both front panel and P2 I/O access for customer supplied

PMCs.

NextGen DeltaV SIS Smart Switches

The DeltaV SIS Smart switches are “built-for-purpose” switches with DeltaV SIS specific software and

features to make them plug-and-play in the safety network.

DeltaV SIS Smart Switches require no configuration to function on the safety network.

DeltaV SIS NextGen Smart Switches and the legacy DeltaV SIS Smart Switches are the only supported

switch to be used within the LSN and GSN.

DeltaV SIS Smart Switches are different than DeltaV Smart switches (non-SIS) and are not

interchangeable.

The GSN requires DeltaV SIS NextGen Smart Switches or the

legacy DeltaV SIS Smart Switches with software release 4.2.14 or greater.

The GSN is certified according to the concept of black channel

per IEC61508-2. Therefore, the GSN hardware components

are considered as an interference free hardware component of the SIS.

GSN Hardware Includes:

• NextGen DeltaV SIS Smart Switches

• LSNBs to communicate with other LSNs throughout the GSN.

LSNB communicates over the GSN with other LSNBs,

allowing great flexibility and ease of system expansion.

Up to 16 LSNBs can publish safety data into one GSN domain

but the maximum number of LSNBs publishing information

depends on amount of data published by each LSNB.

There is no limit for the number of LSNBs subscribing to

information from the GSN. Prior to v14.LTS, only one domain

was supported within the GSN, starting v14.LTS and later,

up to 16 domains are supported within the GSN. Refer to

Books Online for more information about system capacities.

Only DeltaV SIS Smart Switches are supported on the GSN.

The GSN requires DeltaV SIS NextGen Smart Switches or the

legacy DeltaV SIS Smart Switches with software release 4.2.14 or greater.

The GSN is certified according to the concept of black channel

per IEC61508-2. Therefore, the GSN hardware components

are considered as an interference free hardware component of the SIS.

For Use in SIL 3 Applications

The GSN is certified for use in SIL 3 applications.

Wiring

The GSN requires the use of ScTP cable for the 100/1000 BaseT/

TX safety network.

The maximum twisted-pair cable length for the GSN for any

LSNB is 100 meters (328 feet).

The LSNB contains Ethernet ports to provide the redundant

communication for both the LSN and GSN.

Fiberoptic Wiring

Ethernet on the LSNB carrier are available for copper

only. DeltaV SIS Smart Switches can be connected using

fiberoptic cables.

Because fiberoptic cables do not conduct electricity,

they should be used in connections between buildings

or in plant areas where electromagnetic interference is present.

Fiberoptic cabling must be used where cable runs are longer

than 100 meters (328 ft.).

GSN Description and Specification

Multiple LSNs can be connected using LSNBs. The LSNBs are

physically connected as a star topology (GSN does not support

network ring topologies). Starting with to v14.LTS and later,

the GSN can be logically separated in domains. A GSN domain

is a logical group of LSNs.

Refer to the latest DeltaV SIS Installation and Planning Guide

for details of network layouts and network cable shielding

requirements and power and grounding requirements for

the overall DeltaV SIS system.

Ethernet on the LSNB carrier are available for copper

only. DeltaV SIS Smart Switches can be connected using

fiberoptic cables.

Because fiberoptic cables do not conduct electricity,

they should be used in connections between buildings

or in plant areas where electromagnetic interference is present.

Fiberoptic cabling must be used where cable runs are longer

than 100 meters (328 ft.).

LSN Hardware Includes:

• NextGen DeltaV SIS Smart Switches

• Ethernet Isolation Ports on the SZ Controller

•  SNPs on the CSLS carrier

•  LSNB to communicate with other LSNs through a GSN.

A redundant CSLS communicates over the LSN with up to

15 other CSLSs, 1 SZ controller, and 1 LSNB allowing great

flexibility and ease of system expansion.

Only DeltaV SIS Smart Switches are supported on the LSN.

The LSN is certified according to the concept of black channel

per IEC61508-2. Therefore, the LSN hardware components

are considered as an interference free hardware component of the SIS.

The SZ controllers and CSLSs can be physically connected

as a star topology (the LSN does not support network

ring topologies).

Starting with DeltaV SIS v13. the LSN Bridge (LSNB) allows

communication across multiple LSNs. The LSNB connect

to the LSN following a star topology.

For Use in Safety Integrity Level

(SIL) 3 Applications

The LSN is certified for use in SIL 3 applications.

Wiring

The LSN requires the use of Category 5e screened (ScTP)

cable for the 100/1000 BaseT/TX safety network.

The maximum twisted-pair cable length for the LSN for any

device is 100 meters (328 feet).

The CSLS, LSNB, and SZ controller carriers contain Ethernet

ports to provide the redundant communication for the LSN.

Fiberoptic Wiring

Safety network ports (SNP) on the CSLS are available for

copper only. DeltaV SIS Smart Switches can be connected

using fiberoptic cables.

Because fiberoptic cables do not conduct electricity,

they should be used in connections between buildings

or in plant areas where electromagnetic interference is present.

Fiberoptic cabling must be used where cable runs are longer

than 100 meters (328 ft.).
