 Equipment Hierarchy
DeltaV supports a logical hierarchy which includes the following:
 Area – logical division of a process control system. Areas typically represent plant
locations or main processing functions.
 Process Cell – may be class-based (available to the Batch Executive) or non class-
based. The process cell can be used to organize units and modules.
 Unit Module – allows you to take advantage of advanced alarming techniques.
Units are also key to the Batch Hierarchy.
 Equipment Module – a grouping of equipment that performs a minor task like a
totalizer or header. Allows you to take advantage of advanced alarming techniques.
 Control Module – links I/O, algorithms, conditions displays, and other parameters
to the equipment. Modules typically control a single entity like a motor or flow
loop.
Important: DeltaV Batch requires a full hierarchy of area, cell, and unit to operate
properly.

 Total / Full Download
A Download transfers Controller configuration, setup data and cold restart memory
from the configuration database of the ProfessionalPLUS to the controller(s) and/or
workstation(s) run time database. Downloads are performed from DeltaV Explorer or
Control Studio.
Two Main Types of Downloads
• Total/Full Download – Downloads the entire configuration for the selected node
(controller or workstation). A total/full controller download will download all
control modules assigned to the selected node. Control parameters will go to
configured default values. This download type is performed from DeltaV
Explorer.
Important: It may not be desirable to perform a Total/Full Download on a running
process.
• Partial Download – Downloads only specific parts of the configuration; i.e., a
single control module or card. This only affects the control module or card that is
being downloaded. All partial downloads are performed from the DeltaV Explorer
or Control Studio.

 Download Status Indicators
A triangle with a question mark indicates that some of the node’s configuration
database parameters may not match the parameters in the node itself. By selecting
Update Download Status the system will determine if differences exist, resulting in a
blue triangle; if the parameters match, the triangle will disappear.
A blue triangle indicates that some of the node’s configuration database
parameters do not match the parameters in the node itself. If you perform a download,
some changes will be made to the node. If this indicator is not present, no download is
required.
A yellow triangle indicates no configuration.

 Download Options
• Re-send Last Known Good Download – Sends the last successful total download to
a node without going to the database.
If you have performed a total download followed by one or more partial
downloads, this function resends the information contained in the total download as
well as the partials. For controllers, the function sends the same download script
that would be sent to a controller that restarts after a power failure. This is
especially useful for situations where a workstation fails due to a disk error. It
enables you to bring the new or repaired node up to the previous operational status
without downloading recent edits to the configuration.
Do not use this download function after re-commissioning a controller. Perform a
full download after re-commissioning a controller.

 Modes
DeltaV Modes include:
• Manual (MAN) – The output is set by the operator.
• Automatic (AUTO) – The setpoint is adjusted by an external source and the loop
calculates the output based on the algorithm.
• Cascade (CAS) – The setpoint is adjusted by another function block through the
CAS_IN parameter and the loop calculates the output based on the algorithm.
• Initialize Manual (IMAN) – The block output is being set in response to the
status of the BKCAL_IN parameter. For example, when the secondary loop is
not in Cascade, the primary loop goes to IMAN to prevent windup.
• Out of Service (OOS) – The block does not perform the algorithm. The status is
set to bad.

EMERSON Process Management (I) Pvt. Ltd. Course DV-09 Rev 0 Engineering Training Manual

 Modes
• Remote Cascade (RCAS) – Similar to Cascade except that the setpoint is
supplied by an external control program through the RCAS_IN parameter.
• Remote Out (ROUT) – Similar to Manual except that the OUT value is supplied
by an external control program rather than directly by the operator. OUT is
supplied through the ROUT_IN parameter.
• Local Override (LO) – The block is put into this mode when tracking is
activated. When tracking is deactivated, the block returns to its target mode.
Note: IMAN = 2.0 (Target); 2.0 (Actual)
MAN = 8.0 (Target); 8.0 (Actual)

depending on the specific qualifier.
• S Set (Stored) – Active when the step becomes active and stays active until it is
reset.
• SD (Stored and Delayed) – Active after a delay time or an expression evaluated
“true” when the step becomes active and stays active until it is reset.
• DS (Delayed and Stored) – Active after a delay based on time or an expression
when the step becomes active and stays active until it is reset. If the step goes
inactive before the time delay is up, this action will not go active.
• SL (Stored and Time Limited) – Active when the step becomes active and stays
active until the configured time has elapsed or expression is evaluated “true”.

 DeltaV Electronic Signatures
Electronic signatures are user names and passwords that provide accountability for
operator writes to certain module parameters and fields from DeltaV Operate and Control
Studio online. Electronic Signatures do not apply to OPC writes or to the DeltaV Excel
Add-In application.
Based on the criticality of a module to the process, no signature, one signature
(confirmer), or two signatures (confirmer and verifier) can be configured. It is possible to
allow the same person to be both the confirmer and verifier of an operator write.
Typically, the verifier is a higher-level employee whose signature approves the change
the confirmer is making. The verifier must hold the key to the ACTION_VERIFY
function lock.

 Serial Interface Capabilities
The Serial Interface communicates with registers/coils originating in a serial device;
translating them to DeltaV Device Signal Tags (DSTs). The Serial card has two
communication ports, each port connecting to a single serial device using RS232
wiring. As an option, the ports may be wired using RS422/485 wiring and connected to
as many as 16 devices each.
The Serial Interface exchanges data with serial devices through a dataset; a collection
of DeltaV parameters that correspond to registers/coils in the serial device. You
configure the dataset to determine the type of registers as well as the starting address
and how many registers will be read or written.
You can create as many as 16 datasets for each Serial Card port. These 16 datasets
can be allocated to the serial devices in several ways. For example, you can configure
one serial device with 16 datasets or you could have 16 devices on the port with one
dataset each.

 Serial Port Properties
Clicking the P01 Properties dialog box’s Advanced tab permits you to change advanced
communication properties such as:
• Protocol Type – RTU is a standard binary data communications mode while ASCII
transmits messages as ASCII strings.
• Mode determines whether this port acts as a Modbus Master or Slave.
• Retry Count determines the number of times the Serial Card re-tries a failed
message. When the Card issues a Modbus request to a device it expects a response
to be returned. The Serial Card re-tries the failed message the number of times
configured in the Retry count property.
• Message time out determines the amount of time the Serial Card waits for a
response from the serial device after sending a request message.
• Transmit Delay determines the amount of time the Serial Card waits between
requests for input data or requests to write output data to the Modbus Device. This
value is used to slow down requests going to a heavily loaded Modbus Device.
• Send outputs on startup determines whether the Serial Card sends all current output
values to the serial devices on power-up, reset or after a download.

• Output mode – controls how the Serial Card transmits output data. If the Output
Mode is complete block, the card sends all data values when any value in the
dataset changes. If the Output Mode is single value, the card sends single data
values (register or coil) as the values change.
• Output read back – determines whether the output dataset should read back
registers that have been changed from within the serial device. If this box is
checked, the Serial Card reads back the values during the card’s next input scan.
The values that are read back update the current output values. If this box is not
checked, no output read back will be performed.

Interoperability
Any device from any manufacturer that conforms to the FOUNDATION fieldbus
standards will work well with other certified devices. However, the standards for
certification are currently set to confirm minimum functionality only.
Minimum functionality means that a device will communicate a value that is expected
from its device type; i.e., a temperature transmitter will produce a Fieldbus signal for the
measured temperature. The Fieldbus Foundation certification does not guarantee that
other device “bells and whistles,” such as auto-calibration routines or configuration
wizards, will be functional and/or interoperable.

 Communication Technology
The communication technology that is used in FOUNDATION fieldbus is based on a
standard (OSI) model, but does not include layers that are not pertinent to critical process
control data. The Fieldbus model consists of three major layers.
• Physical Layer
• Communication Stack
• User Application
In general, you may think of the role of each of the layers as follows:
Physical Layer
The physical layer includes the wiring of the field devices and the components that
actually interface with the process; e.g., transmitters and valve positioners. The Physical
Layer receives encoded messages from the upper layers and converts the messages to
physical signals on the Fieldbus transmission medium and vice-versa.

Communication Stack
The Communication Stack consists of the three layers of communication which, taken all
together, manage communication between two devices or between a device and a host
such as DeltaV.
User Application

Function Blocks
Function Block(s) in a device depend on the type and style of the device. For example, a
pressure transmitter with only one PV may include only one AI block. On the other hand,
the transmitter could include a second PV, for example board temperature, and it could
include a PID algortihm.

Note: Extended Blocks (Shadow Blocks) in DeltaV Control Studio are representations of
Function Blocks in Fieldbus devices.

EMERSON Process Management (I) Pvt. Ltd. Course DV-09 Rev 0 Engineering Training Manual
10 - 24
 Role of Function Blocks
Control Modules in DeltaV – When using DeltaV as a host, the inputs and outputs of
Function Blocks in various field devices, H1 interface card, and in the controller are
graphically linked together to form a complete control strategy called a control module.
The graphical blocks that are included in DeltaV’s Control Studio package are sometimes
referred to as Shadow Blocks.
Extended Blocks (Shadow Blocks) are based on standard DeltaV Function Blocks but
may have a slightly different set of parameters. These parameters may be specific to a
device manufacturer and are sometimes called custom parameters. Extended Block names
include the prefix FF to differentiate them from the standard blocks.
Example: FFAI_ROSEMOUNT is an Extended Analog Input block with additional
parameters supported by the Analog Input block in Emerson devices.

 Device Descriptions (DDs)
The Fieldbus Foundation provides a standard software library called Device Description
Services which can read the DD binary. Any host with Device Description Services can
interoperate with a FOUNDATION device if it has the device's DD.
Device Descriptions . . .
• Define Standard Block Parameters and Supplier Unique Parameters
• Are loaded into a host that supports DD Services (DeltaV)
• Are unique for every different device
• Revision level must match device revision

 Device Descriptions (DDs)
Device Descriptions (DD’s) are a key element of the User Layer technology that enables
interoperability. DD’s are used to describe:
• Standard block parameters
• Supplier unique parameters
DDs allow any compliant host to interoperate with these parameters. The DD is
fundamentally an extended description of the device parameters used by the host.
The Fieldbus Foundation provides DDs for all standard blocks.
Device suppliers typically prepare an incremental DD which adds additional
functionality.
Device suppliers register common DD's with the Fieldbus Foundation.

 Communication Scheduling
Distribution of control to the field device is made possible by synchronizing:
• Function Block execution
• Communication of Function Block parameters on the Fieldbus
The macrocycle determines how often the Fieldbus Function Blocks on the port execute.
The requested macrocycle is the user-specified execution time for all the Fieldbus
Function Blocks on the segment.
The DeltaV system supports two macrocycle options:
• A user-specified scan rate (150, 250, 500 ms, 1, 2, or 5 seconds) for all blocks
running on the port.
• Module-driven that runs blocks at different scan rates and allows fast and slow
loops to run concurrently.

Link Master
Link Master devices may become the Link Active Scheduler (LAS). The DeltaV H1 card
is the master device in the PlantWeb solution. Field devices may also have Link Master
capabilities and would be a backup LAS if the master fails. The Link Master performs
many functions, including the following:
Scheduled Communications
• Macrocyle – The LAS maintains a list of transmit times for all data buffers in all
connected devices.
• CD (Compel Data) – When it is time for a particular device to transmit the
contents of its buffer, the LAS sends a CD (Compel Data) message to the device.
• Publish/Subscribe – Upon receipt of a CD, the device publishes (sends) data to all
devices on the Fieldbus. Devices that are configured to receive the data are called
subscribers.

EMERSON Process Management (I) Pvt. Ltd. Course DV-09 Rev 0 Engineering Training Manual
10 - 39
 Communications & Device Types
Unscheduled Communications
• Probe Node (PN) and Live List Maintenance – Between transmissions of
scheduled messages, the LAS regularly issues a PN (probe node) message to
determine if any changes have been made to the list of devices on the “Live List”.
If devices have been added or removed, the LAS revises the Live List.
• Pass Token (PT) – Between transmissions of scheduled messages, each device is
given an opportunity to transmit unscheduled messages. The LAS grants
permission to access the Fieldbus for unscheduled communication by issuing a
(PT) pass token to the device. When the device receives the token, it is allowed to
send messages. Unscheduled tranmissions are generally for changes in
configuration data, changes in setpoints, alarm information, and other non control-
critical information.
Basic Devices
Basic devices are those that do not have the capability of becoming the LAS.

 Communication Scheduling – User Specified
The DeltaV system attempts to run the blocks at the requested rate. However, if the
requested rate cannot be achieved, the DeltaV system uses the greater of the requested or
calculated macrocycle. This is called the actual macrocycle.
• The actual macrocycle is equal to the requested macrocycle, if the calculated
macrocycle is less than or equal to (<=) the requested macrocycle.
• The actual macrocycle is equal to the calculated macrocycle, if the calculated
macrocycle is greater than (>) the requested macrocycle.

 Communication Scheduling – User Specified
With the Module-driven option, the system takes the module scan rate, block scan rate,
and the macrocycle of the device, in which the block executes, to determine the
macrocycle for the block. This macrocycle is then mapped to a predetermined
macrocycle. This is the most efficient option for cascade loops and for segments with
both monitoring points and fast control loops. Depending upon configuration, up to four
macrocycles can run concurrently on a segment. The macrocycles can be seen in the
MacroCycle Viewer application.

Before performing the checkout procedure . . .
• Ensure that field wiring is complete, properly terminated, and all field devices are
attached.
• Remove the Fieldbus segment cable (+, - , and shield) at the connector locations,
from the Fieldbus power supply.

Only remove the connector to the field wiring; it is not necessary to remove the connector
to the H1 card. Removing the connector to the field wiring isolates the field wiring from
the H1 card and power supply, isolates the shield from ground, and enables you to make
the resistance and capacitance measurements in the checkout procedure.
Important: Make sure that your bare hands do not come in contact with the meter leads
or segment wiring. The body acts as a capacitor and body contact with the leads or
wiring could result in false readings.

 Fieldbus Device Alarms
The DeltaV system monitors and supports many types of system, user-defined, and device
events, which it records in the Event Chronicle. Alarms are embedded in a Fieldbus
device as device alarms. Device alarms result from conditions detected in the device, by
the device.
Fieldbus devices can report abnormal conditions directly to the DeltaV system. These
conditions range from potential problems such as hardware failures within the device,
loop problems, and mis-configured parameters, to proactive reporting of upcoming
maintenance needed.

 Fieldbus Device Alarms
DeltaV reports Fieldbus device alarms in two categories; Not Communicating and
Abnormal. The Abnormal alarm is not enabled by default. The meaning of an abnormal
alarm depends on the device. Device alarms are visible through DeltaV Operate alarm
banner and the Alarm Summary.
The following are required in order to receive device alarms:
• MD DeltaV Controller

Fieldbus devices that support PlantWeb Alerts provide additional functionality. These
devices support four alarms:
• Advisory (ADVISE_ALM) – the device has identified a condition that does not fall
into any other category. The severity of an advisory alarm depends on the device
type. Usually minor device problems.
• Not Communicating (COMM_ALM) – the device has stopped communicating.
• Failed (FAILED_ALM) – the device has determined that it can not perform its
critical functions. Failed conditions require immediate action.
• Maintenance (MAINT_ALM) – the device has determined that maintenance may
soon be needed. If ignored, this alarm could eventually lead to device failure.
Maintenance conditions require prompt action.
