VE3007 Emerson DeltaV MX Controller

Description:

VE3007 MX Controller provides communication and control between the field devices and the other nodes on the control network. Control strategies and system configurations created on earlier DeltaV™ systems can be used with this powerful controller. The MX Controller provides all the features and functions of the MD Plus Controller, with twice the capacity. The control languages executed in the controllers are described in the Control Software Suite product data sheet.
Benefits:
-Right-sized controllers
The MX Controller complements the MQ Controllers by providing a larger-capacity controller for those applications that need more control capacity:
 2 X the control capacity
 2 X user-configurable memory
 2 X the DST count
Late changes. You can easily upgrade an MQ Controller to an MX to handle project scope changes late in the project. The MX installs in the same footprint as the MQ Controllers but delivers twice the performance. Simply replace the MQ with the MX and all existing configuration, documentation and hardware design remain the same — forgiving. 

-Redundant architecture. The MX Controller supports 1:1 redundancy for increased availability. Existing MD/MD Plus or MQ Controllers can be upgraded online — robust!
Increases productivity
-Self-addressing. The DeltaV controller is unique in its ability to automatically identify itself to the DeltaV
control network. When the controller is powered up, it is automatically assigned a unique address — no dip switches, no configuring — just plug and play!
-Self-locating. A controller’s physical location is easy to find. LEDs on the face of the controller can be made to flash, providing a strong visual clue.
-Automatic I/O detection. The controller can identify all I/O interface channels located on the subsystem. As soon as an I/O interface is plugged in, the controller knows the general characteristics of the field devices managed by that I/O interface. This reduces the no value engineering associated with configuration — easy!
-Connect to Electronic Marshalling. Starting in DeltaV v14.3, CHARMs connected through CHARM I/O Cards (CIOC) can be assigned to the MX Controller. This makes it easier than ever to add I/O to an existing controller by simply adding a CIOC to the DeltaV Area Control Network.
