The following are the instructions for configuring serial cards, ports, devices, and datasets. These instructions are the same for Ethernet/IP, Generic Ethernet/IP, and Modbus TCP.
For each VIM module, you must configure four Programmable Serial Cards in DeltaV Explorer. A maximum of two VIM modules can be used with each DeltaV controller. Redundant serial cards must be configured in pairs in slots 57/58, 59/60, 61/62, and 63/64. Simplex cards must be configured in slots 57 through 60 or 61 through 64. You can also create cards by auto-sensing them from DeltaV Explorer. You must configure all four cards even if not all are used. In addition, disable all unused serial card ports.
