Overview

Important considerations for migrating a

PROVOX system to a DeltaV system
Emerson Process Management encourages you to carefully consider how you will migrate
your existing PROVOX system to a DeltaV system. You can purchase a service to migrate
your existing PROVOX system or you can manually recreate your existing configuration
using DeltaV applications. It is highly recommended that you contact your Emerson
Process Management sales representative or local sales office and purchase the migration
service. If you decide to manually migrate your system, consider the following:

Before removing PROVOX controllers from operation, it is recommended that

Emerson Process Management conduct a system audit or site walkthrough to review
and identify:
- all PROVOX components
- types of I/O cards
- types of serial devices
- power and grounding
- cabinet installation
- any new signals that will be brought into DeltaV I/O cards
- environmental conditions
PROVOX controllers have a larger input/output capacity than the DeltaV controller.
You must determine if the existing configuration will fit into the DeltaV controller. If
it does not fit, divide the configuration among multiple controllers.
Rack space is an important consideration. If you must divide your configuration
among multiple controllers be sure that you have adequate rack space to house the
new DeltaV Controllers Interface for PROVOX I/O solutions.
Keep in mind that PROVOX and DeltaV controllers are structured differently. The
point is the fundamental entity in the PROVOX system and the function block is the
fundamental entity in the DeltaV system. It is possible that migration is as simple as
translating PROVOX points to DeltaV function blocks. However, the DeltaV system
has many advanced control features not supported by the PROVOX system.
Implementing these features could reduce the size and complexity of your existing
configuration and reduce the number of DeltaV controllers needed to replace
PROVOX controllers.
The DeltaV Controller Interface for PROVOX I/O solution does not support all the
card types that are supported by PROVOX controllers. If the DeltaV Controller
Interface for PROVOX I/O does not support a PROVOX card used in your
configuration, you must determine how to address these input/output signals.
Ensure that the input voltage specification of the DeltaV System Power Supply
matches the output voltage specifications of the power source that you intend to
use. The input voltage range of the DeltaV System Power Supply that is provided
with the DeltaV Controller Interface for PROVOX I/O solution and DeltaV controller
has an input range of 20.4 to 28.8 VDC which is compatible with the PROVOX type
CP6103 System Power Supply. It is recommended that the existing PROVOX system

4
 Overview

power supplies and CP6701 Control I/O power communications cards be checked
for electrolytic capacitor degradation. Contact your local Emerson Process
Management representative or sales office for more information.
Is redundancy required for the DeltaV Controller Interface for PROVOX I/O solution?
The solution is available in simplex and redundant configurations.
How will you divide your control strategy into logical divisions (called areas in a
DeltaV system)?
What is required to run your control strategy in a DeltaV system? On which
controllers will the control modules run?
How will you move your operator displays to a DeltaV system? It may be necessary
to recreate your displays using DeltaV Operate. Can displays be deleted, combined,
or improved? Must displays conform to new standards such as gray or blue scale?
What is required to migrate your alarms scheme and how will you handle process
and events history collection?
How will you split your PROVOX I/O across DeltaV controllers?
What is the requirement for wiring and cable lengths?

Refer to the Getting Started with Your DeltaV Automation System manual for an introduction
to DeltaV system concepts and to DeltaV Books Online for complete information on
DeltaV system requirements.

 Overview

The following PROVOX Distributed (MUX) I/O products are not supported. It is
recommended that you use the DeltaV Programmable Serial card in place of these
products. It allows more efficient interaction between the DeltaV controller and external
PLCs or serial devices.

DM6004 and DM6005 Virtual I/O Coupler (VIOC)

DM6391 ac2 Interface

Supported DeltaV I/O

All S-series traditional DeltaV I/O cards and CHARMs I/O are supported in a system that
uses the DeltaV Controller Interface for PROVOX I/O solution. Refer to the DeltaV S-series
and CHARMs Hardware Reference manual for a complete list of S-series I/O cards and
CHARMs.

Note
The VIM card, Zone 2 Remote I/O card, SLS 1508, and the Wireless Gateway are not supported on
this solution.

System capacities
The full range of 16 PROVOX Control I/O files with redundant cards and 16 PROVOX
Distributed (MUX) I/O files with simplex cards are supported. Each SD Plus controller can
support 750 Device Signal Tags (DSTs) and each SX controller can support 1500 DSTs.
Each I/O channel is assigned one DST. As with DeltaV I/O, a DST is counted toward
licensing only if it is linked to a module. The number of channels varies depending upon
the card type; but generally, 46 or more Control I/O cards and 93 or more Distributed I/O
cards constitute about 750 DSTs. Backup cards do not contribute to the DST count. Add an
SD Plus or SX controller for every 750 DSTs that you have in your PROVOX I/O subsystem
and an SX controller for every 1500 DSTS that you have in your PROVOX I/O subsystem.
Remember to carefully consider wiring lengths and the location of control modules when
you split your I/O across multiple controllers. Refer to DeltaV Books Online for complete
information on DSTs including how DSTs are counted for licensing and for more
information on referencing data.

Related information

DST syntax in a DeltaV system

DST syntax in a DeltaV system

The DeltaV system uses the following default format to specify DSTs: Controller/File number/
Card number/Channel number

The default DST for channel 6 of card 11 in file 9 of a Control I/O subsystem connected to
the PROVOX I/O Interface card connected to controller CRTL02 is: CTRL02F09C11CH06

7
Overview

Similarly, the default DST for channel 4 of card 6 in file 12 of a Distributed I/O subsystem
connected to the PROVOX I/O Interface card connected to controller CRTL0B is:
CRTL0BF12C06CH04

You can rename your DSTs to be more meaningful in your control strategy.

Referencing data in a DeltaV system

Parameter references are used to reference data such as run time values and diagnostic
information. External references are used to reference parameters outside of the current
module. Internal references are used to reference parameters within the current module.

External references are made through:

A DST: the external reference links to a DST in the same way a function block links to
the DST.
An I/O path: The external reference links to the channel input and output
parameters in this form: NODE/PVXIO/Card File/Card/Channel/Parameter/Field

Redundancy
Redundant power supplies, redundant DeltaV controllers, and redundant DeltaV
Controller Interface for PROVOX I/O cards are required for redundancy in the controller
installation. Each primary and backup DeltaV Controller Interface for PROVOX I/O card is
paired with a DeltaV controller. (Controller A is paired with DeltaV Controller Interface for
PROVOX I/O card A and controller B is paired with DeltaV Controller Interface for PROVOX
I/O card B.) Controller A is powered from power supply A and controller B is powered from
power supply B. Both power supplies provide load-shared power to both DeltaV Interface
for PROVOX I/O cards. Both of the serial communication links are used in a simplex or
redundant DeltaV Controller Interface for PROVOX I/ O solution. Refer to the PROVOX
documentation for information on PROVOX Control I/O card redundancy. Distributed
(MUX) I/O does not support redundant I/O cards.

Installing the hardware

It is important that you carefully size your PROVOX configuration and determine the
number of DeltaV Controller Interfaces for PROVOX I/O solutions, SD Plus and SX
Controllers, and power supplies that you will need to replace your existing PROVOX
hardware. Refer to DeltaV Books Online for information on the tools required for
installation, wiring guidelines, and torque limits.

Note
To ensure reliable operation of your system, it is recommended that you install redundant
controllers and use an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) to backup controller power.

Note
All electrical installations must conform to applicable federal, state, and local codes and regulations.

Installing the I/O carriers

You must ensure that you have adequate rack space and DIN rail support when you install
the DeltaV I/O carriers. If you are removing an existing PROVOX controller and replacing it
with DeltaV I/O carriers in the same location, rack space may not be a consideration.
However, if you are not removing an existing PROVOX controller, allow for more space and
install additional DIN rails for your DeltaV I/O.

If you removed the PROVOX controllers, you should have the screws that held it in place to
the cabinet EIA rails. Use eight of the screws to install the carrier for the DeltaV I/O.
Otherwise, install the carrier in the desired location.

Hardware installation

Connecting the PROVOX I/O carrier ground

Connect one of the ground terminals on the top of the PROVOX I/O carrier to the Local
Ground Point (LGP) with a 14 AWG insulated wire. To easily identify the ground wire, use
insulation that is green with a yellow stripe.

Refer to the PROVOX AC and DC Power and Ground Wiring document (PN1:003) for
connection details.

Install and connect the power supplies

The DeltaV System Power Supply (24 VDC) provides power to the DeltaV controllers,
DeltaV I/O cards, and the DeltaV Controller Interface for PROVOX I/O cards. It does not
provide power to the PROVOX I/O cards. Remember to calculate power consumption to
determine the number of DeltaV power supplies required. Use a 24 VDC DeltaV bulk
power supply to power the system power supply. Be sure that the input voltage
specifications of the DeltaV system power supply matches the output voltage
specifications of the power source. Refer to the DeltaV S-series and CHARMs Hardware
Reference manual for information on the DeltaV bulk power supplies and for instructions
on calculating power consumption.

WARNING!
Always remove input power to the supply before connecting or disconnecting the input power
connection. The connector should not interrupt current flow and could be damaged if actuated
under a load condition.

1. The power supplies install to the left of the controllers in slots 1 and 3 (left to right)
on the carrier. Align the system power supply with the connector on the carrier and
push to attach.

Note
Controller A is powered from power supply A and controller B is powered from power supply
B. Both power supplies provide load-shared power to both PROVOX I/O Interface cards and to
the DeltaV I/O. If either power supply fails, both PROVOX I/O Interface cards remain powered.

2. Connect the bulk power supply's 24 VDC output to the DC input terminals on the
top of the PROVOX carrier. If you have an optional second system power supply,
wire it to the connectors for the second power supply (B) on the carrier.

Install DeltaV controllers

DeltaV SD Plus, and SX controllers provide control and manage communications for both
the PROVOX I/O and the DeltaV I/O.

Here are a few things to consider about the DeltaV controllers:

Online controller replacement is not supported. You cannot have a simultaneous

communications link between a DeltaV controller and a PROVOX controller.

11
Hardware installation

DeltaV controllers communicate only with the associated DeltaV Controller

Interface for PROVOX I/O card. This means that the DeltaV controller in slot 2
communicates only with the DeltaV Controller Interface for PROVOX I/O card in slot
5. Likewise, the DeltaV controller in slot 4 communicates only with the DeltaV
Controller Interface for PROVOX card I/O in slot 6.
When a DeltaV controller is the active controller, its associated Interface for
PROVOX I/O card is active as indicated by the LEDs on the Interface.
If a controller switchover occurs, the standby controller on the associated Interface
takes over.

Refer to DeltaV Books Online for information on DeltaV Controller redundancy.

1. Align a controller with the connector on the Controller Interface for PROVOX I/O
carrier and push to attach. The controllers install to the right of the power supplies in
slots 2 and 4 (left to right) on the carrier.
2. Connect network cables from the switches to the RJ45 connectors on the bottom of
each controller. The front connector is for the primary DeltaV Control Network and
the rear connector is for the secondary DeltaV Control Network.

Upgrading DeltaV Controllers and Interface

Cards for PROVOX I/O
The DeltaV Controller Upgrade Utility upgrades DeltaV controllers and DeltaV Controller
Interface cards for PROVOX I/O by downloading new firmware to the units. You must
upgrade your controllers and PROVOX Interface cards whenever you update a Service Pack
or your DeltaV software.

Be sure to read the important information about upgrading after a protocol change before
proceeding.

Switchover.
6. Now go back to the Controller Upgrade Utility and follow the prompts to upgrade
the new backup PROVOX Interface card.
7. Click the Back button to return to the opening screen and follow the prompts to
upgrade the new backup controller.

Related information

Important information about upgrading after a protocol change

Important information about upgrading after a

protocol change
It is possible that a change in the communications protocol could occur resulting in a
version incompatibility between controllers and PROVOX Interface cards. If a version
incompatibility occurs, communication stops and the Controller Upgrade Utility presents a
failure message during the upgrade of an Interface. Despite this message, you can still
perform the upgrade.

Continue upgrading a PROVOX Interface card after a

failure message
It is assumed in this procedure that you have received a failure message in the Controller
Upgrade Utility during the upgrade of a PROVOX I/O interface card.

1. Click the Back button to return to the opening screen of the Controller Upgrade
Utility. This leaves the I/O Interface card partially upgraded.

23
Configuration

2. Select Controllers from the drop-down list and follow the prompts to upgrade the
controller.
3. When the controller upgrade is complete, you can complete the upgrade of the
PROVOX I/O Interface card.
4. Click the Back button to return to the opening screen of the Controller Upgrade
Utility.
5. Select PROVOX I/O Interface and follow the prompts to upgrade the PROVOX I/O
Interface card and complete the upgrade.

Important considerations for using PROVOX I/O

in a control strategy
There are a few things to keep in mind when using PROVOX I/O in a control strategy:

Loops that use PROVOX output channels should not run faster than 200
milliseconds. Failure to follow this requirement could result in module errors such as
output transfer errors.
The valid range for the PULSE_DURATION parameter (DI cards, Discrete Output
Momentary channel types) is 0.1 to 25.5 in 0.1 increments. The valid range for the
RATE_PERIOD parameter, available on PCI cards is 0.1 to 5 seconds in 0.1
increments. For both the PULSE_DURATION and RATE_PERIOD parameters, the
DeltaV system will accept a value outside of the range but adjusts the value and
allows the card to be configured. This differs from the PROVOX system that will not
accept a value outside of the valid range. For decimal values, the DeltaV system
adjusts the value to only one digit after the decimal without rounding. That is, all
decimal placements after the tenths (10ths) digit are ignored. For example, .17 is
adjusted to .1.
With the PROVOX Distributed MUX I/O RTD Card Special, you will not receive a
warning message if you configure the SPECIAL_HIGH temperature value to be lower
than the SPECIAL_LOW temperature value. Furthermore, a download of the
configuration completes successfully with no warning messages. Be sure that the
SPECIAL_LOW temperature value is lower than the SPECIAL_HIGH temperature
value.
For some PROVOX Distributed MUX I/O temperature channels, temperature ranges
uploaded to the function blocks XD_SCALE are wider than the card range
configured in the DeltaV Explorer. The function block output is accurate within the
published range in PROVOX documentation. Affected channel types are RTD (-50 to
200 F), Type J High, Type K High, and Type R
If a PROVOX I/O card loses communication with the DeltaV controller, it goes to its
FAIL_ACTION_MODE. For Time Proportional Output (TPO) cards, if the
FAIL_ACTION_MODE parameter is configured to go to the failure action value and
the FAIL_ACTION_VALUE parameter is not equal to 50%, the card sends an extra
pulse that equals the fail action value. Furthermore, if the communication with the
controller does not resume after 10 seconds all the cards in the file become
unconfigured and in the case of the TPO card, all the channels turn off. That is, the
maximum duration for a pulse in a TPO channel is 10 seconds.

Using DeltaV Diagnostics to troubleshoot a

DeltaV system with PROVOX I/O
Use the DeltaV Diagnostics program to view diagnostic information about DeltaV
Controller Interfaces for PROVOX I/O solution, card files, and PROVOX I/ O cards. DeltaV
Diagnostics is also used to perform manual I/O card switchovers, to enable and disable
automatic I/O card switchovers, and to force maintenance ranges for Smart hybrid
channels. Refer to the Diagnostics online help and to Books Online for more information
about using the Diagnostics program.

View information about a DeltaV Controller

Interface for PROVOX I/O
Diagnostic information, such as Overall Integrity and Status, is available for the active and
standby Controller Interfaces for PROVOX I/O.

1. Click Start > All Programs > DeltaV > Operator > Diagnostics.

The DeltaV Diagnostics application opens.

2. Expand the hierarachy in the left pane of the Diagnostics application.

3. Select PROVOX I/O.

Information about the active Controller Interface for PROVOX I/O displays in the
right pane.

4. Navigate to the Redundancy level under PROVOX I/O in the right pane and select
Standby PROVOX I/O.

Information about the standby Controller Interface for PROVOX I/O displays in the
right pane.

25
Troubleshooting

Manually switch over PROVOX I/O cards

Refer to the PROVOX documentation for information on redundant PROVOX cards.

1. Expand the hierarchy in the DeltaV Diagnostics application's left pane.

2. Select the primary active card.
3. Right-click and select Redundancy Switchover.

If the backup card is available, the primary card switches over. After the switchover,
the primary card shows a status of Inactive (in the right pane), and OInteg is BAD.
The backup card shows a status of Active and OInteg is BAD. The Backup card now
has channels beneath it in the left pane.

4. Select the active backup card, click the right mouse button, and select Redundancy
Switchover to switch back to the primary card.

The primary card is now active and the backup card is standby and both cards should
show good status; however, automatic switchover is disabled after a manual
switchover. To enable or disable automatic switchover, select either card (primary or
backup), right-click, and select Enable/Disable Auto Switchover.

Force maintenance ranges for Smart Hybrid

channels
Use the Channel Force Maintenance Ranges command in DeltaV Diagnostics to enter device
ranges when performing a wiring checkout for a PROVOX Smart Hybrid input or output
channel with no field device connected. Only use this command if the device has never
been connected. If the device has been connected and then disconnected, the Smart card
remembers the ranges.

1. Click Start > All Programs > DeltaV > Operator > Diagnostics.

The DeltaV Diagnostics application opens.

2. Select the Smart hybrid input or output channel for which you want to check wiring,
click the right mouse button, and select Channel Force Maintenance Ranges from
the context menu.

For an input channel, enter a valid field device range, and click OK. Refer to the
device documentation for valid ranges.
For an output channel, enter a range of 0 to 100, and click OK.
3. Perform the wiring checkout.

The forced ranges remain in effect until the field device is connected to the channel.
When the device is connected, the AI or AO block uploads the actual field device
ranges.

26
 Troubleshooting

Diagnose HART errors for Smart Input and

Output channels
When trying to locate a problem in a malfunctioning HART field device, remember that
the DeltaV Diagnostics program displays a HART channel error only when the Process Level
is configured as Error. (Process Levels can be configured as None, Information, Warning,
and Error.) At Process Levels other than Error, the error appears at the card and file level,
but not at the channel level. If Process Levels are configured at None, Information, or
Warning, you can identify the specific channel in error by selecting each channel and
choosing Channel Variable Process Alarm Status from the context menu.

Additional troubleshooting information

The following information may be useful in troubleshooting your system:

The standby controller is unavailable for a switchover if the entire DeltaV I/O
subsystem fails. For example, the standby controller is unavailable if power is
removed from the DeltaV I/O subsystem or if all I/O cards are removed. If a power
failure removes all I/O cards, a redundant pair will function as a simplex controller.
In the DeltaV system, unlike the PROVOX system, a power failure causes the DeltaV
Controller to go into Cold Restart. Refer to DeltaV Books Online for information on
Cold Restart.
In the event of a failure, the DeltaV Controller Interface for PROVOX I/O card, rather
than the PROVOX cards, holds the fail safe value.
There is no mechanism in the DeltaV Controller Interface for PROVOX I/O to change
Smart Digital Output devices to Computer mode.
