VE3008 Emerson DeltaV MQ Controller

Description:

VE3008 MQ 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 MQ Controller provides all the features and functions of the MD Plus Controller, with the same amount of memory. The control languages executed in the controllers are described in the Configuration Software Suite product data sheet.
Benefits:
-Increases productivity
The MQ Controller is as quick as the MD Plus Controller and provides the same configurable memory as the MD Plus Controller. The Ethernet ports are full duplex, 100MB/second maximum throughput. The results are lower CPU utilization and higher capacity for control strategies.
-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 and wireless devices connected through CHARM I/O Cards (CIOC) can be assigned to the MQ 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.
