Introduction 7
 Planning Your System

Important Considerations
Emerson Process Management encourages you to carefully consider how you will
migrate your existing RS3 system to a DeltaV system. You can purchase a service to
migrate your existing system or you can manually recreate your existing configuration
using DeltaV applications. It is highly recommended that you contact your Emerson
Process Management sales representative and purchase the migration service. If you
decide to manually migrate your system, consider the following:
RS3 control files have a larger input/output capacity than the DeltaV controller.
You must determine if the existing configuration will fit into the DeltaV
controller. If it does not fit, divide the configuration among multiple controllers.
Refer to System Capacities on page 10 for more information.
Rack space is an important consideration. If you must divide your configuration
among multiple controllers be sure that you have adequate rack space to house
the controllers and Interfaces for RS3 I/O.
Keep in mind that RS3 and DeltaV controllers are structured differently. Control
blocks and I/O blocks are the fundamental entities in an RS3 system and the
function block is the fundamental entity in the DeltaV system. It is possible that
migration is as simple as translating RS3 control and I/O blocks to DeltaV
function blocks. However, the DeltaV system has many advanced control
features not supported by the RS3 system. Implementing these features could
reduce the size and complexity of your existing configuration and reduce the
number of DeltaV controllers needed to replace RS3 control files.
The DeltaV Interface for RS3 I/O does not support all the card types that are
supported by the RS3 system. If the DeltaV Interface for RS3 I/O does not
support an RS3 card used in your configuration, you must determine how to
address these input/output signals. Refer to Supported RS3 Cards on page 10
for more information.
Rosemount Basic Language (RBL) is not supported. The DeltaV system supports
the Visual Basic scripting language.
System flags and user flags are migrated as parameters in the DeltaV system.
How will you divide your control strategy into logical divisions (called areas in a
DeltaV system)?
What is required to run your control strategy in a DeltaV system? On which
controllers will the control modules run?
How will you move your operator displays to a DeltaV system? It may be

 necessary to recreate your displays using DeltaV Operate.
What is required to migrate your alarms scheme and how will you handle process
and events history collection?
How will you split your I/O across DeltaV controllers?
What is the requirement for wiring lengths?
Refer to the Getting Started with Your DeltaV Automation System manual for an
introduction to DeltaV system concepts and to DeltaV Books Online for complete
information on DeltaV system requirements.

RS3 I/O Firmware Revisions Supported

The DeltaV system supports only RS3 I/O that is loaded with the latest I/O firmware
image. You must upgrade your RS3 I/O with the latest RS3 firmware images before
connecting to the DeltaV system. Perform the firmware upgrade while the I/O
assemblies are still connected to the RS3 Control files as the DeltaV system does not
provide a mechanism to upgrade RS3 I/O firmware images.

Card Cages Supported

The DeltaV Interface for RS3 I/O supports the Contact Controller I/O card cage
and the MPC Controller I/O card cage. MPC and Contact Controller cages cannot be
mixed under the same control file address. The only acceptable addresses for Contact
I/O cards are A and B.
MPC Controller card cages support:
Serial FIC
MAIO FIM
MDIO FIM
Contact I/O (1984-2576-xxx) card cage models
Contact Controller I/O card cages support:
Contact I/O (1984-1175-xxxx) card cage models
Contact I/O (1984-1336-xxxx) card cage models

Note When RS3 I/O is migrated to a DeltaV system, contact controller cards are addressed
exactly like MPC controller cards.

Introduction 9
 Supported RS3 Cards
The DeltaV Interface for RS3 I/O supports the following types of RS3 I/O cards:
Analog FIC (Field Interface Card) 4-20 mA -(redundant capable)
Analog FIC 4-20 mA, HART - (redundant capable)
Analog FIC, TC/RTD (Thermocouple/Resistance Temperature Detector) -
(redundant capable)
Pulse FIC - (redundant capable)
Contact FIC - (not redundant capable, can be configured in MPC card cage, only
supported card in Contact Controller card cage).
MAI-16 (Multi-point Analog Input) FIM (Field Interface Module) - (redundant
capable)
MAI-32 FIM configured as 2 cards each with 16 channel pairs. They are
configured in paired addresses in the same communication line. If the first card is
configured in address AA1, the second card should be configured in the
following address in the same communication line (AB1).
MAO-16 FIM (Multi-point Analog Output) - (redundant capable)
MDIO (Multi-point Discrete Input/Output) FIM - (redundant capable)
The RS3 PLC and Doric Mux Interfaces are not supported since the DeltaV Serial
card allows more efficient interaction between the DeltaV controller and external
PLCs.

System Capacities
The DeltaV Interface for RS3 I/O supports the I/O for up to eight RS3 controllers
with up to four card cages per controller. Each MD controller can support 750 Device
Signal Tags (DSTs). A DST in a DeltaV system is the equivalent of an analog or
contact channel/IO block in an RS3 system. Like DeltaV I/O, a DST is counted for
licensing only if it is linked to a module. A DST consists of a device tag and specific
signal from the device. Input and output parameters in the control strategy are
connected to device tags. Add an MD controller for every 750 DSTs that you have in
your I/O subsystem. Remember to carefully consider wiring lengths and the location
of control modules when you split your I/O across multiple controllers. The
following sections provide basic information on DST syntax and explain how data is
referenced in a DeltaV system. Refer to DeltaV Books Online for complete
information on DSTs including how DSTs are counted for licensing and for more
information on referencing data.

10 Getting Started with DeltaV Interface for RS3 I/O

 DST Syntax
The DeltaV system uses the following DST syntax for input and output I/O
channels:
Controller/Card cage/Card Slot/Channel
The default DST for point 3, of an analog input FIC controller E, in card cage C,
connected to the RS3 I/O interface card in slot 5, connected to CTRL1 is:
CTRL1ECC05CH03

Referencing Data in a DeltaV System

Parameter references are used to reference data such as run time values and diagnostic
information. External references are used to reference parameters outside of the
current module. Internal references are used to reference parameters within the
current module. Internal references are in the form Module/Block/Parameter. For
example,
MOD-101/PID1/PV.
External references are made through:
A DST the external reference links to a DST in the same way a function block
links to the DST.
An I/O path the external reference links to the channel input and output
parameters in this form:
NODE/RS3IO/Card Cage/Card/Channel/Parameter/Field
In addition, direct references can be made through analog input and analog output
blocks. Analog input blocks access a single measurement value and status from an
I/O channel and analog output blocks assign an output value to a field device through
a specified I/O channel.
Refer to DeltaV Books Online for more information on referencing data.

Redundant RS3 I/O

Refer to the RS3 documentation for complete information on redundancy in
RS3 I/O. Redundant RS3 I/O cards are categorized as redundant FIC and redundant
FIM for configuration purposes.

Note Refer to the RS3 documentation for information about FIM Cold Spare Capability.

Introduction 11
 Redundant FIC cards:
Analog 4-20 mA
Analog 4-20 mA HART
Analog Temperature Input
Pulse I/O
Redundant FIM cards:
Multi-Point Discrete
Multi-Point Analog (16-channel)

Redundant FIC Cards

One (1) for N (1:N) redundancy is supported for redundant FIC cards where N=1, 3,
or 7. The slot address of a redundant FIC is even (2, 4, 6, 8). The primary cards that
are being backed up are always to the left of the redundant cards. Here are some
examples:
In a 1:1 redundancy scheme, the redundant cards are in slots 2, 4, 6, and 8.
In a 3:1 redundancy scheme, the redundant cards are in slots 4 or 8.
In a 7:1 redundancy scheme, the redundant card must be in slot 8.

Note In a 7:1 redundancy scheme, the status of both transfer cards must be Good for a
switchover to occur. To check the transfer card status, open DeltaV Diagnostics, select
the backup card in the left pane, and read the values for the Transfer Card Status
parameters for both cards (xferCard1 and xferCard2).

12 Getting Started with DeltaV Interface for RS3 I/O

 Redundant FIM Cards
Redundant FIM cards only support 1:1 redundancy. The slot address of a redundant
FIM card must be even (2, 4, 6, or 8) and the address of the primary card being backed
up must be the preceding odd slot. As an example, a redundant FIM in slot six backs
up the primary card in slot five.

Components
The term DeltaV Interface for RS3 I/O is used to describe the combined system as well
as the component that provides the interface between a DeltaV system and an RS3
system. Refer to Figure 1. The individual components are:
DeltaV Interface for RS3 I/O Carrier mounts in a cabinet on standard 19 inch
vertical EIA (Electronics Industries Alliance) rails. The system power supplies, MD
controllers, and DeltaV Interfaces for RS3 I/O (2 of each for redundancy) install in
the six carrier slots. The carrier has eight, 40 pin connectors for connecting to
RS3 I/O communication lines and a 37 pin D-shell connector and a six position
terminal block for connecting to DeltaV horizontal carriers. Refer to Specifications
on page 41 for carrier dimensions and specifications
DeltaV Interface for RS3 I/O (redundant capable) provides the interface
between one MD controller and the RS3 communication lines. The RS3 I/O
Interface exchanges data with an MD controller through a set of UARTS (Universal
Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitters). There is one UART for each communication
line. The UARTS connect to the cards through the connectors on the carrier. Refer to
Specifications on page 41 for carrier dimensions and specifications.
MD Controllers (redundant capable) perform control and manage
communication between the DeltaV I/O subsystem and the Control Network. We
recommend that you use an MD controller hardware revision 5.13 or higher, final
assembly 12P2093X082 or higher with the DeltaV Interface for RS3 I/O. To ensure
that the controller is the proper revision, remove the controller from the carrier, turn
it over, and look for part number 12P2093X082. Also, part number 12P2093X022 or
part numbers 12P2093X042 through 12P2093X072 can be used if the entire assembly
is mounted in a grounded conductive cabinet, as recommended. Another way to
determine the controller revision is to select the controller in DeltaV Diagnostics and
read the value for the Hardware Revision (HwRev), which should be 5.13 or higher.
(The controller must be in a DeltaV carrier and commissioned for the Hardware
Revision to be available in Diagnostics.) Refer to the Installing Your DeltaV Automation
System manual for specifications, dimensions, and troubleshooting information.

Introduction 13
 Redundant Power Supplies (Dual DC/DC) power the MD controllers, DeltaV
Interfaces for RS3 I/O, and DeltaV I/O cards. Refer to the Installing Your DeltaV
Automation System manual for specifications, dimensions, and troubleshooting
information. This power supply does not power the RS3 I/O cards.

Redundancy
Redundant power supplies, redundant MD Controllers, and redundant DeltaV
Interfaces for RS3 I/O are required to obtain a redundant interface to the RS3 I/O.
Refer to Figure 1. Each primary and backup DeltaV Interface for RS3 I/O is paired
with an MD controller. (Controller 1 is paired with DeltaV Interface for RS3 I/O 1
and controller 2 is paired with Interface for RS3 I/O 2.) Controller 1 is powered from
power supply 1 and controller 2 is powered from power supply 2. Both power
supplies provide load-shared power to both Interface modules. Refer to the RS3
documentation for information on RS3 I/O card redundancy.

14 Getting Started with DeltaV Interface for RS3 I/O

Chapter 2 Hardware Installation
It is important that you carefully size your RS3 system configuration and determine
the number of DeltaV Interfaces for RS3 I/O, MD Controllers, and power supplies
that you will need to replace your existing RS3 hardware. Refer to Components on
page 13 and Planning Your System on page 8. Refer to the Installing Your DeltaV
Installation manual for information on the tools required for installation, wiring
guidelines, and torque limits.

Note To ensure reliable operation of your system, it is recommended that you install redundant
controllers and use an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) to backup controller power.

Note All electrical installations must conform to applicable federal, state, and local codes and
regulations.

CE Statement
Note This manual describes installation and maintenance procedures for products that have
been tested to be in compliance with appropriate CE directives. To maintain compliance,
these products must be installed and maintained according to the procedures described in
this document. Failure to follow the procedures may compromise compliance.

Installing the I/O Carriers

You must ensure that you have adequate rack space and DIN rail support when you
install the DeltaV I/O carriers. If you are removing existing RS3 control files and
replacing them with DeltaV I/O carriers in the same location, rack space may not be
a consideration. However, if you are not removing the RS3 control files, allow for
more space and install additional DIN rails for your DeltaV I/O.
If you removed the RS3 control files, you should have the screws that held it in place.
Use eight of the screws to install the carrier for the DeltaV I/O. Otherwise, install the
carrier in the desired location.

Carrier Ground Wiring

Connect ground terminal J23 to the Local Ground Bus (LGB) with a 12 AWG
insulated wire. To easily identify the ground wire, use insulation that is green with a
yellow stripe.

The redundant DeltaV Dual DC/DC power supply provides power to the DeltaV
controllers, DeltaV I/O cards, and the DeltaV Interface for RS3 I/O. It does not
provide power to the RS3 I/O cards. Remember to calculate power consumption to
determine the number of DeltaV power supplies required. Use a 12 or 24 VDC
DeltaV bulk power supply to power the DeltaV system power supply. It is
recommended that you not use an RS3 bulk power supply because of differences in
tolerance. Refer to the Installing Your DeltaV Automation System manual for information
on bulk power supplies and for instructions on calculating power consumption.

1. Connect the input supply wires to the input power connection on the top of the
system power supply as shown in Figure 2. If you have backup system power
supplies, connect the input supply wires to each system power supply.

Warning Always remove input power to the supply before connecting or disconnecting
the input power connection. The connector should not interrupt current flow
and could be damaged if actuated under a load condition.

2. Align the system power supply with the connector on the carrier and push to
attach. As shown in Figure 1, the power supplies install to the left of the
controllers in slots 1 and 3 (left to right) on the carrier.

3. Tighten the mounting screws.

Hardware Installation 17
 Note Controller 1 is powered from power supply 1 and controller 2 is powered from power
supply 2. Both power supplies provide load-shared power to both RS3 I/O Interfaces 1
and 2 and to the DeltaV I/O. If either power supply fails, both RS3 I/O Interfaces
remain powered.

Installing the MD Controllers

DeltaV MD controllers provide control and manage communications for both the
RS3 I/O and the DeltaV I/O. Here are a few things to consider about MD
Controllers:
Online controller replacement is not supported. You cannot have a simultaneous
communications link between a DeltaV controller and an RS3 controller.
MD Controllers communicate only with the associated DeltaV Interface for RS3
I/O. The MD Controller in slot 2 communicates only with the DeltaV Interface
for RS3 I/O in slot 5. Likewise, the MD Controller in slot 4 communicates only
with the DeltaV Interface for RS3 I/O in slot 6.
When the MD Controller is the active controller, its associated Interface for RS3
I/O is active as indicated by the LEDs on the Interface.
If a controller switchover occurs, the standby controller on the associated
Interface takes over.
Refer to the Installing Your DeltaV Automation System manual and to DeltaV Books
Online for information on DeltaV Controller redundancy.

1. Align a controller with the connector on the carrier and push to attach. As shown
in Figure 1, the controllers install to the right of the power supplies in slots 2 and
4 (left to right) on the carrier.

2. Tighten the mounting screw.

3. Connect network cables from the hubs to the RJ-45 connectors on the bottom
of each controller. The front connector is for the primary Control Network and
the rear connector is for the secondary Control Network.

Installing the DeltaV Interface for RS3 I/O

The RS3 I/O Interface provides the interface between one MD controller and the
redundant RS3 I/O.

18 Getting Started with DeltaV Interface for RS3 I/O

 1. Align the DeltaV Interface for RS3 I/O with the connectors on the carrier and
push to attach. As shown in Figure 1, the RS3 I/O Interfaces install side by side
to the right of the controller in slot 4 on the carrier.

2. Tighten the mounting screws.

Note The RS3 I/O Interface is powered by either power supply. If the paired MD controller
is not installed, commissioned, configured, or powered, the Power, Error, and UART
lights will be on and the Active, Standby, and Controller Link lights will be flashing.

Extending Power and Connecting the Communications Lines

The LocalBus supplies power to the DeltaV I/O subsystem and provides
communications connections between the controller and DeltaV I/O cards. Figure 1
shows the LocalBus connections.
If you are extending power to another 8-wide carrier, follow steps 1 through 5.
Otherwise, go to step 6 for information on connecting the RS3 communication
cables.

Note DeltaV vertical I/O carriers are not supported.

1. Remove the red and black wires from the LocalBus right extender 6 pin terminal
block.

2. Remove the LocalBus cable from the D-shell connector on the right extender.

3. Connect the LocalBus cable to the D-shell connector on the carrier.

4. Connect the red wire to a positive (+) pin and the black wire to a negative (-) pin
on the carrier.

Hardware Installation 19
 5. Connect the other end of the LocalBus extender cable to an 8-wide I/O
Interface carrier to power the carrier.

6. Disconnect the communication lines on the RS3 controller and connect them to
a 40 pin connection on the Interface for RS3 I/O carrier (from RS3 controller A
to connection A on the carrier, from RS3 controller B to connection B on the
carrier, from RS3 controller C to connection C on the carrier and so on).
Redundancy is not supported in the communication lines.

components and configure your system. Refer to the DeltaV Explorer online help for
information on using this application and to Books Online for reference information
on the DeltaV system. In particular, refer to the Getting Stared with Your DeltaV
Automation System manual for an introduction to basic DeltaV concepts and
terminology. This manual is available online and in hardcopy format.

Enabling RS3 I/O on the Workstation

Before you can use DeltaV Interface for RS3 I/O, you must enable RS3 I/O on your
workstation. Click Start | DeltaV | Engineering | System Preferences and select
Enable RS3 I/O in the System Preferences dialog box.

Configuration
Configuration involves using the DeltaV Explorer to add and configure DeltaV
Interfaces for RS3 I/O, card cages, cards, and channels.

Adding and Configuring Components

This section provides basic information about using the DeltaV Explorer to add
DeltaV Interfaces for RS3 I/O, RS3 Card Cages, and I/O Cards. Refer to the DeltaV
Explorer online help for information on adding and configuring DeltaV I/O.
Adding a new DeltaV Interface for RS3 I/O builds the hierarchy for DeltaV Interface
for RS3 I/O in the DeltaV Explorer. Once the hierarchy is built, you can add card
cages, RS3 I/O cards (under RS3 I/O in the hierarchy), and DeltaV I/O cards (under
I/O in the hierarchy). Modules configured in DeltaV Control Studio and then
assigned to a node appear under the Assigned Modules area in the hierarchy. Refer to

Configuration 27
 Configuring Cold Junction Compensation
With Analog FIC, TC/RTD cards, it is common to use one input channel for Cold
Junction Compensation (CJC). In an RS3 system, you configure a Temperature Input
Block (TIB) to be the CJC channel. In a Delta system, you use the DeltaV Explorer to
configure a CJC channel and then use Control Studio to create a module that
references the CJC channel for all thermocouple input channels that require
compensation.

To configure a CJC channel

Refer to Configuration on page 21 if you need information on using the DeltaV
Explorer to configure card cages, cards, and channels.

1. Select an Analog FIC, TC/RTD channel, click the right mouse button, and select
Properties.

2. Expand the Channel type list and select Cold Junction Compensator Channel.

Figure 13 Configuring a CJC Channel in DeltaV Explorer

28 Getting Started with DeltaV Interface for RS3 I/O

 In Contents View, notice the default device tag name (RS3CTLRABC01CH01 in this
example) and that channel 1 (CH01) is CJC.

Figure 14 Contents View Showing Default Device Tag and CJC Channel

A device tag is a unique tag in the system that represents a field device such as a valve
or instrument. When you configure a control strategy with Control Studio, you
connect input and output parameters to device tags. Now well use Control Studio to
create the module that references the CJC channel.

To create the module that references the CJC channel

Refer to the Control Studio online help and to the Getting Started with Your DeltaV
Automation Software manual in Books Online for information on using the Control
Studio application.

1. From DeltaV Explorer, click Applications | Control Studio to open Control

Studio.

2. Select the I/O palette and drag an Analog Input (AI) block to the Diagram View.

Configuration 29
 3. Click the right mouse button on the AI block, and select Assign I/O | To Signal
Tag.

Figure 15 Assigning the I/O to a Signal Tag

4. Browse for the default device tag (RS3CTLRABC01CH01) and click OK.
Now you can add the thermocouple channels that will receive the CJC signal. In this
case, Analog Output blocks will receive the CJC signals.

To add the channels that will receive the CJC signals

1. Drag an Analog Output block to the Diagram View.

2. Assign the AO block to a Signal Tag, select IO_OUT, and click the Modify
button.

30 Getting Started with DeltaV Interface for RS3 I/O

 3. Select the thermocouple channel to receive the CJC value and select the
CJC_VALUE parameter. This creates the Device Signal Tag (DST). A DST is the
Device Tag and a specific signal from the device.

Figure 16 Assembling the DST

4. Connect the CJC signal to the thermocouple channels that require

compensation. The signal can be wired to as many thermocouple channels as
needed. In this example, two thermocouple channels receive the CJC value.

Figure 17 Two Thermocouple Channels Receiving the CJC Value

Configuration 31
 The next step is to add the corrected thermocouple signals to the CJC module.
Normally, the corrected thermocouple input is contained in a module with associated
control strategies. In the following figure, notice that the corrected thermocouple
signal references the FIELD_VAL parameter.

Figure 18 Corrected Thermocouple Signals Added to CJC Module

Finally, you can use the I/O Configuration application to view the configuration.
From DeltaV Explorer, select Applications | I/O Configuration to open the
application.

32 Getting Started with DeltaV Interface for RS3 I/O

 Using an Output Bypass Unit Card
For both the DeltaV System and the RS3 system, when the Output Bypass Unit
(OBU) card in Bypass mode takes control of the output channel of an analog FIC 4-
20 or HART, the output channel can only be driven from the OBU card. However in
the RS3 system, the block can read the channel value and does not go Bad; in DeltaV,
the block cannot read the channel value. As a result, Control Studio in online mode
shows the output as Bad and displays a red X on the AO block output and
Diagnostics shows the channel Status and OInteg as bad.
In the DeltaV System, after the OBU returns control to the Analog FIC 4-20 mA or
HART, the Analog Output block mode is set to the configured mode. In the RS3
system, the block is always set to MANUAL mode.

Upgrading MD Controllers and Interfaces for RS3 I/O

The DeltaV Controller Upgrade Utility upgrades DeltaV MD controllers and DeltaV
Interfaces for RS3 I/O by downloading new firmware to the units. You must upgrade
your controllers and RS3 Interfaces whenever you update a Service Pack or your
DeltaV software.
Read the section Important Information About Upgrading After a Protocol
Change before proceeding.

Upgrading Simplex Controllers and RS3 Interfaces

Be sure to upgrade the RS3 Interface first.

1. Click Start | DeltaV | Installation | Controller Upgrade Utility.

2. Expand the list box, select Upgrade RS3 I/O interface, and click Next.

3. Browse for the upgrade filename and click Next.

4. Select the RS3 Interface that you want to upgrade and click Next.

5. Follow the prompts to complete the upgrade of the RS3 Interface.

6. Now, click the Back button to return to the opening screen and follow the above
procedure and upgrade the controller. Be sure to choose Upgrade MD
Controllers in step 2, and in step 4, choose the specific MD controller that you
want to upgrade.
This completes the upgrade of simplex controllers and RS3 Interfaces.

Configuration 33
 Upgrading Redundant Controllers and RS3 Interfaces
In a redundant system, you upgrade the backup RS3 Interface and then upgrade the
backup controller. After you upgrade the backup controller, you'll use DeltaV
Diagnostics to manually switchover both the controller and RS3 Interface. Then you'll
go back to the Controller Upgrade Utility and upgrade the new backup RS3 Interface
and then upgrade the new backup controller. The instructions follow.

1. Open the Controller Upgrade Utility (Start | DeltaV | Installation | Controller

Upgrade Utility).

2. Expand the list box, select the backup RS3 Interface, and follow the prompts or
refer to the instructions in Upgrading Simplex Controllers and RS3 Interfaces
to upgrade the backup RS Interface card.

3. Now click the Back button to return to the opening screen and follow the
prompts to upgrade the backup controller.

4. Keep the Controller Upgrade Utility open and click Start | DeltaV | Operator |
Diagnostics.

5. Select the controller and select Tools | Redundancy Switchover.

6. Now go back to the Controller Upgrade Utility and follow the prompts to
upgrade the new backup Interface.

7. Click the Back button to return to the opening screen and follow the prompts to
upgrade the new backup controller.
This completes the upgrade of redundant controllers and RS3 Interfaces.

Important Information About Upgrading After a Protocol

Change
It is possible that a change in the communications protocol could occur resulting in a
version incompatibility between controllers and RS3 Interfaces. If a version
incompatibility occurs, communication stops and the Controller Upgrade Utility
presents a failure message during the upgrade of an Interface. Despite this message,
you can still perform the upgrade. Follow these steps to continue the upgrade if you
receive a failure message during the upgrade of an Interface card.
It is assumed in this procedure that you have begun the upgrade of an I/O interface
card and have received a failure message.

34 Getting Started with DeltaV Interface for RS3 I/O

 1. Click the Back button to return to the opening screen of the Controller Upgrade
Utility. This leaves the I/O Interface card partially upgraded.

2. Select Upgrade MD Controller and follow the prompts to upgrade the

controller.

3. When the controller upgrade is complete, you can complete the upgrade of the
I/O Interface card.

4. Click the Back button to return to the opening screen of the Controller Upgrade
Utility.

5. Select Upgrade RS3 I/O Interface card and follow the prompts to upgrade the
I/O Interface and complete the upgrade.
This completes the upgrade.

Configuring a Control Strategy

Use the DeltaV Control Studio application to configure a control strategy.
To open Control Studio, click Start | All Programs | DeltaV | Engineering | Control
Studio.
Here are a few things to keep in mind when using RS3 I/O in a control strategy:
Control loop execution rate. Control loops that use RS3 output channels
should not run faster than 200 milliseconds. Failure to follow this requirement
could result in module errors such as output transfer errors.
Configuring Pulse Count Output Bursts. The DeltaV system supports pulse
count output but requires a control module for the output to work properly. RS3
pulse channels, configured as pulse count channel types: pulse count input
(voltage and contact types), and load counter input (voltage and contact in tied to
channels two or three) output a specified number of pulses at a fixed square wave
frequency. The channels OUT parameter is used to specify the number of pulses.
If you want to output a burst of a specific number of pulses, you must configure
logic that uses a trigger block to specify when to send out the specific number of
pulses.
Using the TARGET_REACHED Parameter with Count Input Channels.
When using the TARGET_REACHED parameter for Pulse card, count input
channels (voltage and contact types), do not use function blocks to read values,
use external references or dynamic references.

Configuration 35
 Writing Output Signals to Channels Configured for Failsafe Action. If you
are writing output signals to RS3 channels configured for failsafe action, be sure
your control module is configured to track the failsafe action in the channel
should it occur. Refer to DeltaV Books Online for examples of how to configure
control modules to track the failsafe action.
Driving Outputs with Analog FIC cards. For Analog FIC 4-20 mA and
Analog FIC HART 4-20 mA cards, it is highly recommended that you use an AO
block, rather than an external reference, to drive the output channels because the
AO block automatically clamps the output values within limits. If you must use an
external reference, do not drive the output value beyond the card's limits (-10% to
110%). Doing so will produce an error and prevent the channel from operating. If
a channel error occurs, do one of the following: disable the channel, download
the card, re-enable the channel, and re-download the card; or power-cycle the
card.
Refer to the Control Studio online help and to Books Online for information on
configuring a control strategy.

Chapter 4 Troubleshooting

DeltaV Diagnostics
Use the DeltaV Diagnostics program to view diagnostic information about your
DeltaV system. In addition to providing information about the DeltaV system,
DeltaV Diagnostics also provides important troubleshooting information about
DeltaV Interfaces for RS3 I/O, Card cages, and RS3 I/O cards. DeltaV Diagnostics is
also used to perform manual I/O card switchovers, and to enable and disable
automatic I/O card switchovers. Refer to the Diagnostics online help and to Books
Online for more information about using the Diagnostics program.
Click Start | All Programs | DeltaV | Operator | Diagnostics to open DeltaV
Diagnostics.

Viewing Information about a DeltaV Interface for RS3 I/O

Diagnostic information such as Overall Integrity and Status is available for the active
and standby Interfaces. To view information about the active Interface, expand the
tree in the left pane, select RS3 I/O, and view information in the right pane. To view
information about the standby interface, expand the tree in the left pane, find the
Redundancy level, and select Standby RS3 I/O.

Performing Manual Switchovers of RS3 I/O Cards

Refer to the RS3 documentation for information on redundant RS3 cards.

1. Expand the tree in the Diagnostics hierarchy, select the backup card, click the
right mouse button, and select Change Redundancy Mode.

2. Select Manual in the Change Redundancy Mode dialog and click OK. (Automatic
switchover is disabled in Manual mode, OInteg is always bad, and Status is
backup.)

3. Select the backup card from the tree in the left pane, click the right mouse
button, select Force Backup, select the primary card from the list (only cards that
can be backed up are in the list), and click OK.
At this point, card channels are listed beneath the backup card.

4. To switch back, select the backup card, click the right mouse button, and select
Reset Backup.

Troubleshooting 37
 To re-enable automatic switchover

1. Select the backup card in the left pane click the right mouse button and select
Change Redundancy Mode.

2. Select Automatic and click OK.

Other Troubleshooting Information

Power Loss on Active RS3 I/O Interface

A loss of power or failure of the active RS3 I/O Interface card causes Analog FIC and
Analog FIC HART cards to momentarily lose communication. Communication is
restored after the DeltaV controller and RS3 I/O Interface switchover.

MD Controller Cold Restart

In the DeltaV system, a power failure causes an MD controller to go into Cold
Restart. Refer to DeltaV Books Online for information on Cold Restart.

Understanding Card and Channel Status in Redundant

Pulse Card Configurations
For Pulse cards in a redundant configuration, it is possible that if the active card is
unplugged, an external reference to that card's status parameter can show "Bad - Not
Communicating" and an external reference to a channel's status parameter can show
GOOD. This can be confusing as it would seem that if a card is unplugged, a channel
would show a status of BAD. However, the channel shows GOOD because after the
cards switched over, the channels were remapped to the new active card that has
GOOD status.
As an example, suppose CTRL-1 has a Pulse card in slot 3 that is in 1:1 redundancy
with a card in slot 4. Now suppose that the card in slot 3 is unplugged. Card 4
becomes the newly active card and the channels are mapped to it. The following
examples show the external references tied to card status and channel status:
CTLR-1/RS3IO/HD/C03/STATUS.CV will show Bad - Not Communicating
CTLR-1/RS3IO/HD/C03/CH01/STATUS.CV will show GOOD

38 Getting Started with DeltaV Interface for RS3 I/O

 Understanding Redundancy Mode and Automatic
Switchover
For RS3 cards, automatic switchover is disabled when the standby cards redundancy
mode is Manual. The standby cards redundancy mode must be Automatic for
switchover to occur. Refer to the information on enabling automatic switchover in
Performing Manual Switchovers of RS3 I/O Cards on page 37 for information on
changing a cards redundancy mode.

Pulses Remaining to Output After Failure

When a failure occurs on a pulse count output channel, the RS3 system shows the
number of pulses remaining to output, while the DeltaV system (Diagnostics
program) always reports zero (0) pulses remaining to output. However in the DeltaV
system, the card remembers the number of pulses remaining to output and when it
restarts after a failure, it includes the remaining pulses in the pulse count.
