The Emerson SE3007 is the primary processor card for the DeltaV™ SX Controller, a core control hardware component within Emerson’s DeltaV Distributed Control System (DCS). Installed in the controller slot of a 2-slot or 8-slot DeltaV carrier, the SE3007 executes real-time control logic, manages I/O bus communications across connected DeltaV I/O cards, and maintains deterministic communication over the DeltaV Control Network (ControlNet/Ethernet).

Primary System Functions
- Real-Time Control Logic Execution: Runs advanced control strategies, continuous PID loops, batch processing logic (S88), and discrete control blocks authored in DeltaV Control Studio.
- Dual-Redundant Control Network Interfacing: Features two independent Ethernet interfaces to connect seamlessly to redundant DeltaV Control Networks, ensuring continuous operation if a network switch or cable fails.
- Controller Redundancy Support: Can be deployed in side-by-side redundant pairs (1oo2) with auto-sensing standby synchronization, enabling instant, bump-free switchover without disrupting process loops.
- Onboard I/O Bus Management: Scans, updates, and passes diagnostic data between local/remote DeltaV I/O cards (analog, discrete, HART, Foundation Fieldbus) and higher-level workstation nodes.
Servicing & Replacement Guidelines
- ESD & Static Precautions: Sensitive microprocessors and FLASH memory modules require strict anti-static precautions. Always wear a grounded anti-static wrist strap when handling the card assembly.
- Redundant vs. Non-Redundant Replacement:
- In a Redundant Pair: A standby controller card can be inserted or replaced while the active controller continues to run the process. The new card automatically synchronizes firmware and control strategy upon insertion.
- In a Standalone (Simplex) Setup: Replacing the SE3007 requires taking the node offline. Back up the controller configuration from DeltaV Diagnostics / Explorer prior to decommissioning.
- Firmware Baseline Matching: When installing a new or replacement SE3007 card, use the DeltaV Controller Upgrade Utility to auto-flash the card’s firmware so that it matches the major/minor software version running on the DeltaV ProPlus/Engineering Workstation.
- Carrier Latch Verification: Ensure top and bottom carrier locking tabs are fully engaged when installing the card to establish a secure ground plane and power pin engagement on the backplane.
