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.
