Description
The Emerson VE3008 / CE3008 (hardware part number KJ2005X1-MQ1, assembly number 12P6381X032) is a high-performance MQ Controller Module manufactured by Emerson Process Management for the DeltaV Distributed Control System (DCS).
The MQ Controller serves as the central control execution engine in DeltaV M-Series platforms. It executes continuous regulatory loops, sequential control, logic processing, and batch operations, while maintaining real-time communication between DeltaV operator workstations and field I/O cards via the DeltaV LocalBus.

Core Features & Operating Capabilities
- Deterministic Control Execution: Executes regulatory loops, advanced control strategies (MPC), batch recipes, and discrete interlocks at user-defined scan rates (as fast as 100 ms).
- Native Network Redundancy: Features dual Ethernet interfaces supporting redundant DeltaV Control Network (Network A and B) connections for continuous workstation communication.
- 1:1 Hot-Standby Hardware Redundancy: Supports dual-controller pairs on a redundant carrier; the backup controller runs in tight state synchronization with the primary, providing instantaneous, bumpfree failover if a primary fault occurs.
- Integrated LocalBus I/O Driver: Directly drives up to 64 DeltaV I/O channels or cards over the LocalBus backplane without requiring external communications drivers.
- HART & Fieldbus Pass-Through: Natively routes HART digital field device diagnostic and calibration data directly to DeltaV AMS Device Manager software.
- Online Software Upgrades & Hot-Swapping: Allows live hardware replacement and firmware/configuration updates without interrupting running control loops.
