DeltaV I/O Interface
The I/O Subsystem includes I/O Interfaces mounted on one or more 8-wide I/O
Interface Carriers and an optional power source that provides power to field devices.
The I/O Interface consists of the following components as illustrated above:

I/O Terminal Block which snaps onto the I/O Interface Carrier to provide screw
termination's for field wiring.

I/O Card which snaps over the I/O Terminal Block on the I/O Interface Carrier
which converts field signals to a digital format for control and communications.

Device Signal Tag (DST) Licensing
DST licensing is based on the number of inputs and outputs as follows:

Analog Output

Analog Input

Discrete Output

Discrete Input
Generally speaking each instrument wired into a set of screw terminals will require 1
DST. When identifying the required DST licensing start with the P&ID and count the
number and type of instruments. The exception to would be FOUNDATION fieldbus
devices, intelligent devices like this can have multiple inputs and outputs per instrument
resulting in multiple DSTs for a device.

Workstation at commissioning. This can be performed from the DeltaV Explorer or
Configuration Assistant application. The last step of commissioning will prompt the user
with a question to Auto-Sense I/O cards.

Name: A user-defined name with a maximum of 16 characters containing at least
one alpha character. It may also contain $, -, or _.
Description: An optional user description of no more than 48 characters
appearing in the DeltaV Explorer. It is for information only and not used by the
controller.
Associate Alarms & Events with Area: Define the plant area that will be
associated with controller device alarms such as subordinate Fieldbus devices.
Enable network redundancy for this node: Checking the box  Enables the
secondary control network for the node. Leaving the box unchecked  does not
enable network redundancy.
Show integrity error when not in time sync: Checking the box  Enables an
integrity error on this controller when the time is not synchronized with the
master time server. Leaving the box unchecked  prevents an integrity error
when time is not synchronized.
Controller is redundant: A Simplex Controller will be grayed out. A checked
box  indicates the controller is redundant.

Auto-Sensing I/O Cards
When the above fields have been completed, click the OK button to continue. The last
step in commissioning the controller permits you to Auto-sense the I/O cards for the
controller.
Auto-Sense I/O cards — Clicking the YES button causes the controller to scan its I/O
sub-system and identify the card types and carrier slots where the I/O cards are installed.
By clicking the NO button, the controller WILL NOT SCAN the I/O sub-system for
installed I/O cards but will continue to commission itself. Auto-sense can be done at
any time from the DeltaV Explorer.

Cold Restart
In the event of a power failure, the controller can download itself using the
configuration data in non-volatile memory. If the non-volatile memory is not present or
does not match the ProfessionalPLUS database, the system downloads the download
script from the ProfessionalPLUS workstation.
You can set this feature on an individual controller basis using the DeltaV Explorer as
shown above.
The amount of time is set in any combination of Days (0 thru 30 max), Hours (0 thru
23 max) or Minutes (0 thru 59 max). Commissioning and downloading procedures will
be executed if power returns to the controller in less than or equal to the cold restart
time. A setting of 0 disables the Cold Restart (automatic restart).
Note: It is recommended to set the Cold Restart Time to at least two minutes.
It is further recommended that a UPS be installed between the AC distribution (source)
and the System Power Supply for the controller(s) to ensure controller operations during
short interruptions of plant power.
Note: Refer to Books On Line for additional information about Cold Restart.
