We set the bar with Electronic Marshalling, now we’re raising it
We introduced the game-changing technology in DeltaV Version 11, now we are enabling you to install small enclosures with up to 12 CHARMs closer to the field devices dramatically reducing wiring and overall installation costs. We also simplified the deployment of Electronic Marshalling and Wireless field devices in existing installations by allowing CHARMs and Wireless devices to be assigned to our M-series controllers.
Traditional IO vs. Distributed CHARMs Time and Cost Savings
Traditional I/O | CHARMs in the field | CHARMs with Distributed I/O | Savings of | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Manhours | 58,600 | 43,549 | 39,200 | 32% |
Total Cost | $10.4M | $7.1M | $4.1M | 60% |
Benefits of Electronic Marshalling with Distributed CHARMs
Install CHARMs even closer to field devices and eliminate costly engineering and installation efforts.
- Reduce total install cost
- Improve flexibility in combining I/O types
- Support for Smart Commissioning
- Works with both DeltaV and DeltaV SIS
- Reduce number of CHARM I/O Cards and CHARMs Smart Logic Solvers
- Improve utilization through expansions
