Figure 2.6: VIM Device Properties

Note 5:

HIMA’s ethernet communication module F 8627X replies until firmware revision 4.14

with device address 255, regardless of its actual device address being set via DIP

switches to the CPU. The DeltaV Modbus master should therefore be configured for

this address because it would otherwise not accept protocols with this reply address.

6. Have a look at the area “Decommissioned VIMs” in VIMNet Explorer. You should be able to see

the appropriate number of decommissioned VIMs if your network is correctly connected to the

VIMs. Now you can commission the VIMs using the commission dialog via the configured VIM’s

context menus or via drag-and-drop of the decommissioned VIMs onto the configured VIM. Use

the identify function of the commissioning dialog to keep track of assigning the correct VIM for

primary and secondary module.

7. As a last step upload the configuration to the VIMs using the context menu and the “VIM

Configuration Upload” command. Be sure to save your VIMs configuration to be able to use the

VIMs diagnosis or to change the configuration starting from the saved point.

Note 6:

When you have problems finding the decommissioned VIMs disconnect them from

their power supply, the network and their carrier. Keep them disconnected for

approximately 30 seconds and then reinstall them (the same procedure like with not

unassigned DeltaV controllers).

For further troubleshooting information refer to [5].

2.3.2 DeltaV Serial Card Configuration

The configuration of the simulated DeltaV serial cards is nearly the same like with standard serial

cards. Only the device data type and the special data information differs for some data types. You also

need to have one serial port license for each simulated serial port you use.

The serial card configuration starts with the port configuration. Select the port used in VIMNet Explorer

for your first device and open the port properties. Set the configuration properties like shown in Figure

2.7.
