Industry-proven security. The Emerson Automation Solutions

layered approach to wireless network security ensures that

your network stays protected. The network devices implement

Encryption, Authentication, Verification, Anti-Jamming, and

Key Management methods to ensure that data transmissions

are secure.

WirelessHART delivers PlantWeb. The WIOC powers

PlantWeb by giving you access to intelligent devices using

WirelessHART technology. WirelessHART devices have the

same PlantWeb alerts as their wired counterparts, providing a

consistent user experience.

The WIOC is auto-detected on the

DeltaV network and WirelessHART devices are auto-sensed as

they are added to the network. There is no site survey required

to determine equipment locations. The self-organizing network

automatically determines the optimum communication paths

for each device to navigate around structures, making it easy

and fast to set up your wireless field instrumentation, saving

you time and money. With their reliability and ease of use, selforganizing

WirelessHART mesh networks are perfect in

any environment.

Benefits

Fully Redundant Wireless Networks. The DeltaV WIOC

is a complete redundant solution for your wireless needs.

Redundant items include DeltaV network communication, 24 V

DC power, WIOCs, and Smart Wireless Field Links, as well as the

multiple communication paths of the adaptive mesh network

itself. The redundant architecture eliminates any single point

of failure and provides immediate switchover in case of a fault

anywhere along the WIOC and Field Link hardware.

WirelessHART delivers PlantWeb. The WIOC powers

PlantWeb by giving you access to intelligent devices using

WirelessHART technology. WirelessHART devices have the

same PlantWeb alerts as their wired counterparts, providing a

consistent user experience.

The WirelessHART I/O card (WIOC) provides redundant

communication for up to 100 WirelessHART devices,

providing high availability and reliability of wireless data.

Up to 16 WirelessHART I/O cards can communicate to

one controller, each providing up to 100 signals.

Control modules are automatically scheduled by the controller,

based on their assigned scan rates. This allows each control

function to be optimized based on the process dynamics.

Modules scan times can be set as fast as 100 ms, and as slow

as 60 seconds. The number of control modules that can be

assigned to a controller depends on the complexity and scan

rate of each module, and the available CPU and memory.

The SX controller should be used for medium to large

applications with a maximum of 1500 individual I/O signals.

The SX controller is designed for harsh environments and

is rated for G3 corrosive environments, with an operating

temperature range from -40 to 60°C. It is ideally suited for larger

units with higher I/O counts. It can be field mounted close to

the equipment, or centrally located in an equipment room.

For more traditional installations with central marshalling

cabinets, CHARM I/O cards can be mounted in standard I/O

cabinets providing Electronic Marshalling. CHARM I/O cards

can also be used for highly distributed I/O applications.

The SX controller also supports CHARMs and WirelessHART I/O

cards. The CHARM I/O Card (CIOC) connects via the redundant

Ethernet ports of the controller to provide a highly distributed

and flexible I/O solution called Electronic Marshalling. Up to

16 CIOC’s can communicate to one controller, each providing

up to 96 individually configurable signal types.

The capacity limits of the SX controller may vary depending on

the particular application, amount of CHARM I/O Signals and

as well control performance requirements. Enhanced memory

handling and hardware alerts covering capacity and memory,

via indexes, got added to the diagnostic information of the

SX Controller.

Quick Assembly. The S-series hardware has been designed for

speed of project execution. Carriers snap to standard DIN rails

and controllers and S-series IO snap into position without the

use of retaining screws.

Easy to Use. Controllers are also easy to configure.

Simply connect the SX to the DeltaV network and auto-sense

it from DeltaV Explorer. Add the controller and all its IO cards

to the system database and all components are automatically

addressed and communicating.

„ Control strategies are developed using IEC-61131

programming techniques: Function Blocks,

Sequential Function Charts and Structured Text.

„ Automatic diagnostics and event reporting with

time stamps applied in the controller.

„ Set control execution to match process dynamics

and controller scheduling adjusts automatically.

„ Reference any parameter by its module name,

regardless of its location in the system.

„ Synchronized system clock for consistent time

based event driven actions across the system.

„ Online expandable IO carriers allow new cards to be added

online, with autosense capability, for modular system growth

„ Hardware redundancy is automatically detected with zero

configuration effort.
