There are no dip-switches, jumpers or addresses to assign. The

standby controller is automatically assigned the appropriate

standby address and begins working, protecting your process.

Bumpless transition. DeltaV controllers are designed for a

bumpless transfer of control from the active controller to the

standby controller. During this time, output channels hold

their output states until the switchover is complete and control

modules begin executing. The control module uses signal status

to ensure all I/O channels are good before taking control action

on them, and all output signals are synchronized through I/O

readback features to ensure control calculations are based on

current output states.

This ensures a bumpless transfer of control during the

switchover when using CHARM or DeltaV Classic I/O cards, with

or without Foundation™ fieldbus devices.
