The 580 CHARM node enables full integration of Numatics’ 500 Series pneumatic valves and manifolds into the DeltaV DCS network, and provides the following benefits:
- Uses native capability of DeltaV for diagnostics of pneumatic valves
- Brings the CHARM redundant communications and power connections to pneumatic valve manifolds
- Eliminates the need for additional dedicated networks like Profibus-DP for pilot valves and simplifies system I/O mapping
- Utilizes a single network connection from the DeltaV DCS through the CHARM baseplate and connecting to the 580 CHARMs node and manifold, eliminating the need to use individual DO CHARMs to drive each valve coil on the pilot manifold
- Expands the Electronic Marshalling I/O offering to include ASCO Numatics pilot valve manifolds, enhancing the concept of “adding any I/O type anywhere and anytime in the plant”
- Reduces programming and commissioning time
Features- Dramatically reduces programming and commissioning time
- Achieves up to 15% savings on wiring and components
- Uses native capability of DeltaV for diagnostics of pneumatic valves
- Eliminates need for additional dedicated networks like Profibus-DP for pilot valves and simplifies system I/O mapping
