Because this new driver uses the DeltaV Virtual IO Module (VIM), it provides a native DeltaV IO interface to the FMC Topside Processing Unit (TPU). The FMC772 Ethernet Driver features: support for read and write access to TPU AO, AI, DO and DI point tags; simplex or redundant installations; time synchronization from DeltaV to the FMC Subsea system; monitoring quality of connection and automatically restarts communications when connection is lost; and auto configuration of the interface from the FMC SmartTool configuration export file. Once uploaded to VIM, this is stored in non-volatile RAM.
