What is DeltaV S-series hardware?

DeltaV S-series hardware is the next generation of DeltaV hardware.

DeltaV S-series hardware includes:

S-series controllers
S-series I/O cards and terminal blocks
S-series carriers
S-series power supplies

S-series hardware provides the same functionality, performance, and capacity as M-series hardware and includes the following additional features:

The S-series 8-wide carrier enhancements provide integrated field power distribution for individual I/O cards and separate primary and secondary field power distribution to redundant cards.
The LocalBus supports up to 15 A of system power.
The S-series carriers are designed to snap onto T-type DIN rails without the use of tools. Carriers can be adjusted on the rail without removing cards or terminal blocks.
S-series I/O cards and terminal blocks are designed to snap onto the slots on the S-series 8-wide carrier without the use of tools.
The S-series Power / Controller carrier can hold an S-series system power supply and controller or two power supplies if additional system power is needed. When the carrier holds two power supplies for power injection, it can be installed inline between two S-series 8-wide carriers with no wired connection for power distribution or separately on the DIN rail, wired to a left one-wide extender.

S-series I/O cards and terminal blocks require S-series controllers and S-series carriers. S-series controllers cannot be used with M-series I/O cards and terminal blocks and M-series controllers cannot be used with S-series I/O cards and terminal blocks.

The DeltaV S-series and CHARMs Hardware Installation manual explains how to install S-series hardware. The DeltaV ^TM M-series Hardware Installation and Reference manual contains reference information for DeltaV M-series hardware.
