Q&A
- Q: Can this module be used without a DeltaV Controller?
- A: No, it is part of the integrated DeltaV SIS architecture and requires a carrier and system connection.
- Q: What is the benefit of the “1508” designation?
- A: It refers to compliance with the IEC 61508 safety standard for functional safety.
- Q: Is there a distinction between the hardware and software licensing?
- A: Yes, while the hardware is physical, the SIS logic requires specific DeltaV software licenses to operate.
