One of our projects in Version 12 is our Licensing Revamp. We’ve made counting IO licenses and managing them much easier. The first thing we’ve done is gotten consistent in counting Device Signal Tags (DST’s) across all our supported bus technologies. In previous versions of DeltaV, a single Foundation Fieldbus device counted as a single DST; it didn’t matter how many signals came in on that device, it only counted as one DST. We’ve extended that methodology to our other supported busses – DeviceNet and Profibus. Each field device on these bus segments will count as a single DST. So if you’ve got a drive or motor from an MCC coming in via DeviceNet with multiple signals (start, stop, running, current, etc), it'll only count as a single DST. Probably the licensing change I’m most excited about is how we’re handling serial IO. In the past, folks would bring multiple registers from a serial dataset into one module in DeltaV (we called them ...
