VE3008 VE3007 DeltaV MQ Controller

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 and Wireless I/O. Starting in DeltaV v14.3, CHARMs and wireless devices connected through CHARM I/O Cards (CIOC) and Wireless I/O Cards (WIOC) 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 and/or WIOC to the DeltaV Area Control Network.

Total control. The controller manages all control activities for the I/O interface channels. It also manages all communication functions for the communications network. Time stamping, alarming, and trend objects are also managed within the controller. The controller executes all control strategy with execution speeds up to every 100 ms.
Data protection. All online changes made to control parameters are automatically stored for later upload into the engineering database. This way, the system always retains a complete record of all the data that has been changed online.
Cold restart. This feature provides automatic restart of the controller in case of a power failure. The restart is completely autonomous because the entire control strategy is stored in NVM RAM of the controller for this purpose. Simply set the restart state of the controller to current conditions.
