Fully Redundant Wireless Networks. The DeltaV WIOC is a complete redundant solution for your wireless needs. Redundant items include DeltaV network communication, 24 V DC power, WIOCs, and Smart Wireless Field Links, as well as the multiple communication paths of the adaptive mesh network itself. The redundant architecture eliminates any single point of failure and provides immediate switchover in case of a fault anywhere along the WIOC and Field Link hardware.

Seamless integration with the DeltaV system and AMS Device Manager. The WIOC is auto-detected on the DeltaV network and WirelessHART devices are auto-sensed as they are added to the network. There is no site survey required to determine equipment locations. The self-organizing network automatically determines the optimum communication paths for each device to navigate around structures, making it easy and fast to set up your wireless field instrumentation, saving you time and money. With their reliability and ease of use, self- organizing WirelessHART mesh networks are perfect in any environment.

The WIOC is a native DeltaV I/O node that supports up to 100 wireless devices. The cards install on a 2-wide carrier, with each card having its own Smart Wireless Field link. The WIOC can be commissioned in a simplex mode if no redundancy is needed. The WIOC allows redundancy to be completed later, when needed – online and bumpless.

The WIOC carrier has two Ethernet IO Ports that connect to the DeltaV Area Control Network and are available with copper or fiberoptic media. The Smart Wireless Field links are connected to the I/O card using a 4-conductor cable. The cable has a pair of wires for power and a pair for the communication to the field link. The WIOC uses the Smart Wireless technology supported by WirelessHART devices and a Self-Organizing Network. „ No wireless expertise is required; devices automatically find the best communication paths with Adaptive Mesh Routing. „ Network continuously monitors paths for degradation and repairs itself. „ Adaptive behavior provides reliable, hands-off operation and simplifies network deployments, expansion, and reconfiguration. If an obstruction is introduced into the mesh network, devices will find the best alternate communication path. This alternate path is automatically created by the network management software and the device information will continue to flow.
