Abstract This presentation follows the modernization of the UT Pickle Research Center in Austin, TX.  The project includes an upgrade to CHARMS IO (electronic IO) and S-Series controllers, installation of new junction boxes, upgrade of graphics, conversion to rack mounted PCs and Servers, and modernization of the control room.  The presentation follows the planning and execution of the project from initial planning, through execution, to commissioning, to taking the project on-line.

Things learned along the way Have knowledgeable person on-site at all times Tags must be carefully tracked Keep a virtual machine handy with previous system configuration on it It is very easy to move DST assignments between controllers – utilize the split window view on Explorer and drag/drop DSTs between destinations Use controller upgrade utility to double check version information Use autosense to double check CHARM types Use diagnostics to look for wiring & calibration issues Use AMS to quickly check FF and HART devices
Business Results Achieved Flexibility.  With CHARMS IO UT can easily add and remove devices in the field and move configuration between controllers without being limited by where wires are terminated.  Supporting multiple projects.  It will be much easier to run parallel tests.  The improved control room layout makes it much easier for operators to run their portion of the tests.  More data.  Upgraded servers makes it easier to hold on to more data.
Summary CHARMS IO provides UT with considerable project flexibility.  The new control room layout and upgraded servers provides UT with much a better environment to run concurrent projects, collect data, and provide reports for their customers.

Editor's Notes

  • #30 The first step to configuring CHARM I/O is to Enable the I/O Network on the system preferences. This will you to configure the I/O Network on the DeltaV Explorer. This is accomplished as indicated in step 1. by selecting System Preferences under the DeltaV Engineering category of programs and checking the Enable I/O Network. As noted in the dialog you must restart the DeltaV database server for this added preference to be recognized. Restarting the DeltaV database server can be accomplished by first shutting it down as indicated in step 2. by using the Database administration tool and selecting Shutdown Server from the File menu. Once the Server is shutdown. Launch the DeltaV Explorer and it will automatically restart the database server. At this point you will be able to configure CHARM I/O from the DeltaV Explorer.
  • #31 Upon connecting a decommissioned CIOC to the Control Network it will announce itself and show up in the Decommissioned Nodes category as shown in this screen capture. Here a CIOC shows up with the default name CIOC-00128E. The default name is prefixed CIOC and to make it a unique name and allow for multiple decommissioned CIOCs a numerical suffix is applied which comes from it’s MAC address.
  • #32 If multiple CIOCs are connected at the same time an Identify feature allows you to flash the LEDs on the CIOC to match the name to the physical CIOC. All LEDs will flash alternately on the two CIOCs during the identify state. This is the same as you have done with DeltaV controllers from day 1 with DeltaV.
  • #33 The CIOC can be commissioned by dragging and dropping it on the IO Network. This will create a new CIOC as opposed to dropping it on the placeholder named CIOC which is already configured and assigned to the controller named CTLR. The placeholder allows you to configure a CIOC without having the physical hardware available and then when the hardware arrives the decommissioned CIOC would be assigned to the placeholder. In this example we are creating a new CIOC, the properties box dialog appears immediately after dropping the CIOC on the IO Network allowing you to define the new CIOCs name. Several other properties are defined here as well, including whether you want hardware alarms generated for this CIOC, Network redundancy etc.. Again similar to a controller. Unique to the CIOC is the Enable Cascade Port. This option must be checked to turn on the bottom cascade port for daisy chaining one CIOC to another. Upon completing this dialog click OK and the act of commissioning will assign a valid DeltaV Network address to the CIOC as well autosense the CHARM types attached.
  • #34 Here you see the newly commissioned CIOC with the autosensed CHARM types in the right hand window. A couple points of interest for this CIOC. First, CHARMS are assigned with default DSTs, the default naming convention includes the CIOC Name followed by CHM for charm, and the carrier – charm number. So the first default DST is 1-01 for carrier 1 CHARM 1 through 2-12 for carrier 2 charm 12. When configuring each CHARM you will assign the appropriate device tag or DST. Also notice the new CIOC, named CIOC – double zero one twenty-eight E is not assigned to any controller yet, as the placeholder above it has the CHARMS assigned to the controller named CTLR as denoted by the parenthesis. Additionally, the yellow triangle indicates this node has no configuration and requires a download.
  • #35 This illustration shows the CIOC commissioned and not assigned to any controller, if it were assigned following, the CIOC name in parenthesis it would have the assigned controller name. The point here is that the CIOC and it’s CHARMS can be commissioned, auto sensed and configured independent of controllers. Additionally, the CIOC and CHARMS can be downloaded independent of the controller to allow a baseline check of the configuration and wiring, in which a green LED will illuminate on the individual CHARMS for a good indication of the CHARM and it’s associated wiring to the field device.
  • #36 One of the key features of Electronic Marshalling is the ability to change CHARM types easily. Consider this example CHM1-2 is an Analog Input while CHM1-6 is an Analog Output. We have just been informed that the CHARMS need to be reversed to match the field instruments. No re-wiring is required we just need to swap the physical CHARMS between positions 2 and 6, then Auto-sense the CHARMS in their new location. The next slides take you through the steps of swapping locations.
