Product Description

The VIM2 may be used for either DeltaV I/O simulation or

Ethernet I/O device integration. The VIM2 mounts on a

2-wide horizontal or 4-wide vertical carrier on either side

of the DeltaV controller. A dedicated DeltaV system power

supply is required.

Ethernet I/O Integration

When used with the Ethernet I/O drivers, the VIM2

can communicate with high-speed Ethernet networks

over Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP, FMC722. or PROFINET.

Depending on redundancy configuration of the VIM2. the

DeltaV controller auto-senses a commissioned VIM2 as four

or eight DeltaV I/O Cards.

• In simplex installations these cards will be sensed in slots 57-60 or 61-64.

• In dual simplex installations these cards will be sensed in slots 57 to 64.

• In redundant installations the redundant pairs will be sensed in slots 57 to 64.

Users configure the I/O signals for commissioned VIM2s

in DeltaV Explorer in the same manner as a DeltaV Serial, DeviceNet, or Profibus Card.
