Binding sensed devices to I/O nodes

Binding sensed devices to CHARMs under CSLS I/O nodes

In binding sensed devices to CHARMs under CSLS I/O nodes, the DeltaV Device Commissioning application performs the following steps:

  1. Allocates a device placeholder to a CHARM.
    • Configures the I/O properties of the CHARM.
    • Allocates a configured HART DST under the CHARM.
      Note

      If a matching unallocated device placeholder is not found in the system but a matching unassigned I/O reference exists, DeltaV Device Commissioner creates a device placeholder and allocates it to the CHARM. Depending on the preferences selected in the active auto-commissioning policy, the configuration values will all be based either on a master or on system default values.

  2. Reconciles the Tag, Long Tag, and Description between the Device Placeholder and the Field Device.
  3. Adds the device to AMS Device Manager if AMS is installed.
  4. Downloads the CSLS.
  5. Downloads the module if it is assigned to a different controller than the CSLS.
