The S600+ is supplied with one I/O (P144) module with one Pulse Mezzanine (P148) module. 

This provides multiple digital, analog, and pulse inputs and outputs.

You can add two additional expansion modules to the S600+. 

The following expansion modules are available:

▪ I/O (P144) module – Provides additional analog and digital I/O.

▪ Prover (P154) module – Provides I/O for applications with a prover.

▪ HART (P188) module – Provides I/O for applications with HART transmitters.

▪ Pulse Mezzanine (P148) module – Provides pulse input capability.

Note: The Pulse Mezzanine module is installed as a daughterboard on an P144 or P154 module, and does

not use an additional module slot.

Configuration

Configuration of the S600+ is done through the same Windows-based intelligent

set-up tool as the S600 (Config600 Lite, Config600 Lite+, or Config600 Pro).

You can create or edit configuration files using Config600 Lite+ and

Config600 Pro (refer to Specification Sheet Config600). 

The S600+ provides the following functions through the Config600 configuration tool:

▪ Stream and station totalization.

▪ Batch totalization and retro-calculation.

▪ 3-term PID control with optional secondary control.

▪ Flow balancing.

▪ Flow scheduling.

Easy to Use

The DeltaV controller manages all control activities for the I/O interface channels and all communication functions with the zone control network.

The DeltaV controller manages all control activities on the I/O interface channels and all communication functions with the area control network.

Sequential control function block diagrams, sequential function diagrams,

and phasing logic provide powerful control structures that are further enhanced by user-defined structured text algorithms.

The controller time stamps alarms and events to accurately record the sequence of events.

The controller executes your control strategy at a rate of 100 milliseconds and transmits up to 4000 abnormal values per second.

Data Protection. All online changes made to control parameters are automatically stored for later upload to the engineering database.

In this way, the system always keeps a complete record of all data changed online.

Cold start. This function automatically restarts the controller in the event of a power failure.

Since the entire control strategy is stored in the controller’s NVM RAM, the reboot is completely autonomous.

Simply set the controller’s reboot state to the current condition.

Increased Productivity

Self-addressing.The DeltaV controller is unique in its ability to automatically identify itself within the

DeltaV control network.

When the controller is powered up, it is automatically assigned a unique address – no dip switches, no

connections – plug and play!

Automatic Location. The physical location of the controller is easy to find.

LEDs on the face of the controller can flash to provide a strong visual cue.

Automatic I/O Detection. The controller recognises all I/O interface channels on the subsystem.

As soon as an I/O interface is plugged in, the controller knows the general characteristics of the ffeld

device managed by that I/O interface.

This reduces the worthless engineering associated with configuration – simple!

Connection to electronic commissioning and wireless I/O.

Starting with DeltaV v14.3. CHARM and wireless devices connected via the CHARM I/O card (CIOC)

and the Wireless I/O card (WIOC) can be assigned to the MX controller.

This makes it easier than ever to add I/O to existing controllers by simply adding a CIOC and/or WIOC to

the DeltaV zone control network.

The I/O Module 

The I/O module includes an electronic module and a personality module or cavity insert.

The I/O module converts field signals into data and sends it to the controller.

Electronic module styles include digital and analog input and output modules,

contact inputs, RTD inputs, pulse accumulator / counter, HART input and output modules,

FOUNDATION Fieldbus, Profibus, DeviceNet, Ethernet and serial link controller modules. 

I/O modules offer a number of protective features including: 

▪ Signal conditioning, part of the surge-withstand feature, dissipates voltage “spikes” to protect the

electronics 

▪ Fuses protect the circuit in case of a short in the field device line 

Each module is “hot swappable,” allowing it to be removed and replaced without interrupting system

power or using mechanical tools.

The standard Ovation system configuration allows for up to 128 I/O modules in a local configuration.

This modular approach simplifies maintenance by requiring less assembly and offering a compact and

uniform architecture. 

Controller I/O Capabilities

The Ovation controller supports multiple I/O capabilities in various combinations, including: 

▪ Hardware I/O interfaces to Ovation I/O 

▪ Q-Line I/O plus software I/O in the form of simulated I/O 

▪ Virtual I/O generally communicated from OEM models and systems 

Ovation I/O has two methods of implementation: locally within the controller and remotely away from the

controller.

Remote I/O provides a means to distribute I/O throughout a plant.

Ovation I/O Architecture 

The Base

Ovation packaging reduces the system footprint by using base units which attach to mounting plates by

DIN rail;

these hold four independent Ovation I/O modules of any style.

This approach simplifies maintenance by making it easy to install, move or replace individual base units. 

Base unit features include:  

▪ Field terminal blocks that accept two 14 AWG or a single 12 AWG 

▪ I/O bus communications built into the base 

▪ I/O modules automatically addressed by location 

▪ I/O modules may reside in any location 

▪ I/O module redundant power distribution 

▪ No interconnecting cables for I/O bases 

▪ Built-in spare fuse holders and strip gauge in base 

The base unit’s high-impact plastic housing protects the backplane, exposing only the connectors as

modules are removed.  

Applications 

EDS is a powerful tool that simplifies information management by consolidating data from disparate 

systems into a single source for remote monitoring and analysis.  

EDS delivers increased awareness of plant operations by securely connecting staff to near-real time and

archived data,regardless of geographic location. Timely and accurate representation of plant performance

enables more informed decision-making to enhance operations and streamline maintenance.  

For example, severe weather events pose many forms of danger to any industrial process site,

which could require plant staff, both on and off duty, to quickly troubleshoot problems before they

escalate.

EDS provides critical process data to the right people at the right time, helping to mitigate emerging

issues. 

Using EDS data and tools, power generators can assess abnormal conditions that

could lead to infrastructure damage or widespread power outages.

Water plants can monitor increased flows within distribution networks to better predict flooding,

thus helping to prevent overflows and associated environmental impact. 

As an option, Ovation EDS can automate operator round activities,

including interfaces to computer maintenance or lab information systems and customized route and data

collection templates. 

EDS data can also monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) for

measuring against objectives and generating required performance reports. Example KPIs include: 

▪ Power generation: fuel usage, plant availability, emissions, generation revenue, or efficiency (heat rate). 

▪ Water and wastewater plants: quality, compliance, energy usage, chemical usage, or operating and

maintenance expenses. 

As an integrated information source, EDS provides valuable insights to all levels of an organization: 

▪ Executives or corporate management can obtain a complete view of district- or fleet-wide operations. 

▪ Plant management can view and trend information to make informed operating or maintenance

decisions. 

▪ Plant supervisors, engineers, and technicians can easily evaluate process or plant status. 

Plunger Lift Measurement Range Expanded

The Rosemount 4088 extended range option incorporates new sensor technology that ensures peak

flow rates are captured without compromising performance in the normal operating range.

This helps eliminate accounting discrepancies that can lead to disputes.

Reduced Power Consumption

The advanced electronics in the Rosemount 4088 consume less power,

which means a single power supply or solar panel can run more transmitters.

Reverse wiring protection also ensures that transmitters are not damaged if the power supply is

incorrectly connected.

Accurate RTD measurements through sensor matching

The Rosemount 4088 reduces process temperature and flow errors by using

Callendar-Van Dusen constants to define the unique characteristics of RTD.

Seamless Transition from Legacy Products

To ensure a smooth transition from Emerson legacy products,

the Rosemount 4088 will communicate using the same protocols as direct replacements.

This will allow users to quickly replace legacy products with the Rosemount 4088,

minimising downtime and reducing engineering and installation costs.

Reduced engineering and installation costs

Excellent Warranty and Stability

The Rosemount 4088 is built to last, with a stability specification of up to 5 years and a 12-year warranty.

This helps ensure that your investment in Rosemount technology continues to pay off for years to come.

Product Description

The VerticalPlus I/O Interface Carrier plugs into the 4-Wide Power/Controller Carrier,

which provides power to the system and communication between the I/O interface and the controller.

The controller processes I/O interface information through the control module.

The VerticalPlus I/O Interface Carrier provides a separate bus field power connection for each I/O card.

The carrier is designed to support the same terminals as the horizontal carrier.

The carriers are mounted on T-shaped DIN rails.

Each I/O interface carrier is supplied with connectors for direct mating together.

A single I/O subsystem supports a total of eight 8-width I/O interface carriers for a maximum of 64 local

I/O interface cards.

Cable extenders are used to connect carriers that cannot be installed next to each other,

allowing the carriers to be arranged in standard equipment cabinets.

The extender has two 22-pin D-type connectors and supports a dual cable fault-tolerant configuration.

Ports A and B are connected in parallel so that either port can be used.

The new Dual Carrier Extender also supports the redundant secure bus coaxial connectors used by DeltaV
