Selection Suggestions and Precautions
Selection Suggestions:
- Confirm the system is DeltaV SIS and requires SISNET bus extension.
- Verify power availability (24 VDC local bus, max 300 mA).
- Check overall network topology and maximum allowable cable lengths.
- Ensure compatibility with existing DeltaV SIS carriers and modules.
- Use genuine Emerson termination and carrier components.
Precautions:
- Install only in approved DeltaV SIS configurations.
- Follow Emerson guidelines for hazardous area installation if applicable (Zone 2 / Division 2).
- Do not exceed environmental limits (temperature, vibration, contaminants).
- Proper grounding and shielding are essential for signal integrity.
- Hot-swap rules and power sequencing must be observed according to DeltaV documentation.
- This is a safety-related communication component — incorrect installation can affect SIS performance.
