VE4015  DeltaV™ M-series Traditional I/O

Full system modularity: The Traditional I/O subsystem was designed with your investment in mind. All components are
fully modular and may be installable under power. You add I/O interface carriers and I/O interfaces in groups of 4, 8, 16,
or 32 channels as you need them. The modular design enables you to purchase the exact amount of I/O cards, 8-wide or
4-wide carriers, power/ controllers, and 2-wide carriers you need and add more DeltaV I/O as your system grows.
Reduced system footprint: The DeltaV system’s state-of-theart form factor design of the I/O components enables you to
mount the I/O interface carrier in a junction box in the field so you significantly reduce the footprint of your equipment
and increase valuable control room space for other uses. Installation: Save on wiring expenses by installing Classic
Instrumentation in the field, near the actual field devices.
Mounting the controller with the I/O further reduces your wiring expenditures by eliminating the need for long runs
of multi-cores. The integrated design of the Traditional I/O subsystem can eliminate the need for marshalling panels.
This saves you even more in your total capital costs.
The provision of in-line fuses and bussed power saves on installation costs compared with external fuses and
power distribution.

Plug-and-play installation saves money: All Traditional I/O components plug into the I/O interface carrier. You can
install the I/O interface carriers to manage anticipated growth and postpone the I/O interfaces until you’re ready to install
your additional field devices.
Phased installation saves time: As soon as you mount the I/O interface carrier, you’re ready to begin installing the field
devices. I/O terminal blocks plug directly onto the I/O interface carrier. There is no need to have the I/O cards installed.
Keys: Traditional I/O interfaces and terminal blocks have I/O function keys. These keys ensure that the correct I/O
card is always plugged into the corresponding terminal block.
It’s incredibly easy to use and gives you time to do more.
This design enables you to initially install Traditional I/O quickly and efficiently. When you need to replace an I/O card,
the function key design ensures that you will always install it correctly. This keying system provides a safety measure
by preventing the wrong I/O interface’s being installed.
