Description

Overview

The Emerson SE3008 is a high-performance DeltaV™ SQ Controller designed for small to mid-sized process control applications. It functions as the central processing unit within the DeltaV™ S-series Distributed Control System (DCS), managing complex control strategies, coordinating field devices, and supporting advanced communication across the control network. This controller combines scalability, reliability, and ease of installation in a compact, rugged package.

Key Features

Scalable Performance

• Supports up to 750 Device Signal Tags (DSTs) and 3,200 SCADA tags.

• Suitable for unit-level control or smaller plant areas.

Redundancy Support

• 1:1 hot-standby redundancy ensures uninterrupted operation.

• Redundant controllers can be upgraded online to SX-class systems.

Electronic Marshalling Compatibility

• Fully integrates with CHARMs for flexible, distributed I/O deployment.

• Allows late I/O configuration without rewiring.

Plug-and-Play Commissioning
