Emerson’s VE3008 KJ2005X1-MQ1 controller is a network communication device designed for industrial automation and machinery. As the core component of DeltaV’s distributed control system, it plays an important role in providing communication and control between the field equipment and other nodes of the control network. This MQ controller is not only capable of creating control policies and system configurations, but also has the processing power to automatically identify itself to the DeltaV control network with a full duplex Ethernet port with a rate of 100MB/s and a maximum throughput of 100MB/s, which helps to reduce CPU usage and improve the execution of control policies.

VE3008 KJ2005X1-MQ1 controller features include:

Self-addressing: The controller can be automatically assigned a unique address in the DeltaV control network after power-on to achieve plug and play.
Self-positioning: The LED light on the front of the controller can send a visual signal to quickly find the physical location of the controller.
Automatic I/O detection: The ability to identify all I/O interface channels connected to the subsystem reduces the amount of engineering required for configuration.

Powerful control capabilities: Manage the control activities of all I/O interface channels and all communication functions with the area control network.
Data protection: All online changes to control parameters are automatically stored for later upload to the engineering database.
Cold Start function: In case of power failure, the controller is able to restart automatically because the entire control strategy is stored in the controller’s NVM RAM.
In addition, the MQ controller supports a 1:1 redundant architecture designed for increased availability. It uses the same I/O subsystem as an MD Plus or MQ controller, but provides more CPU and memory capacity. The MQ controller also supports DeltaV batch options and advanced control features such as neural and model predictive control. The data pass through feature allows the controller to pass intelligent HART information from field devices to any workstation node in the control network, making it possible to remotely manage information in HART or FOUNDATION Fieldbus devices.

The installation and use of MQ controllers is based on A variety of standards, including Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D, T4 certifications from FM (US) and cFM (Canada), and the corresponding certifications from ATEX and IECEx. This ensures that the controller can be used safely in a variety of hazardous area environments.
