M-series Intrinsically Safe I/O - Emerson Process Management

DeltaV Product Data SheetJanuary 2013 – Page 2BenefitsFeatures full system modularity. The I.S. I/Osubsystem was designed to optimize your automationinvestment. All components are fully modular andinstallable under power. You add I/O interface carriers andI/O interfaces in groups of 8 channels, as you need them.The modular design enables you to buy the exact amountof I/O cards and power/controllers that you need. Addmore DeltaV I/O as your system grows.Reduces system footprint. The state-of-the-art formfactor design of the DeltaV I/O components enables you tomount the I/O interface carrier in a junction box in the field.You significantly reduce the footprint of your equipmentand free up valuable control room space for other uses.Decreases installation time and expense. DeltaVIntrinsically Safe I/O are native DeltaV I/O cards that arepart of the controller’s I/O subsystem. This eliminates theneed for third party barriers or interface mapping. Saveeven further on wiring expenses by installing I.S. I/O in thefield, close to the actual field devices. Mounting thecontroller with the I/O further reduces your wiringexpenditures by eliminating the need for long runs of multicores.Plug-and-play installation saves money. We talkedto customers like you to find out what you wanted in an I/Osystem. We designed and produced exactly what youwanted. The I.S. I/O subsystem is easy to use. All I.S. I/Ocomponents plug into the I/O interface carrier. You caninstall the I/O interface carriers to manage anticipatedgrowth, without purchasing the I/O interfaces until you’reready to install your additional field devices.M-series Intrinsically Safe I/OPhased installation saves time. Mount the I/Ointerface carrier and you are ready to begin installing thefield devices. I/O terminal blocks plug directly onto the I/Ointerface carrier—there’s no need to have the I/O cardsinstalled.Easy to use. I.S. I/O interfaces and terminal blocks haveI/O function keys. These keys ensure that the correct I/Ocard is always plugged into the corresponding terminalblock—easy!This fail-safe design enables you to initially install I.S. I/Oquickly and efficiently. When you need to replace an I/Ocard the function key design ensures that you will alwaysinstall it correctly. DeltaV I.S. I/O—easy to install andmaintain.Real-time, online equipment additions. Onlineaddition of new I/O interfaces means your process doesnot get interrupted. As new equipment is added, DeltaVExplorer acknowledges it and assigns it basicconfiguration.Product DescriptionA variety of analog and discrete I/O cards are available tomeet your specific requirements. All I/O cards areenclosed in a common form factor that plugs into the I/Ointerface carrier. The housing is clearly labeled with theI/O card type. Clearly visible LEDs on the top of the I/Ocard display the power, error, and status to the channelsincluded in the I/O card. (It is important to note that, whenconnecting standard I/O carriers to I.S.I/O carriers, morestandard I.O. carriers may not be added after I.S.carriers—the I.S.I/O carriers must always be mounted lastin line.)
