  • These two controller types are for the Virtual Machine controllers supported in a virtual host server. For offline development or Simulate multi Node systems, you can use virtual machine controllers and CIOC's instead of physical hardware. These show up in DeltaV Explorer like physical decommissioned devices that you assign to your controller place holders, and can download.

    There is a MiMiC SIO driver that allows the process simulation software to work with these virtual machine controllers as well.

    You can use VMware or Hyper-V to run virtual machines and connect these to our Offline DeltaV system. You can mix virtual machines and physical machines in an offline system, but typically, we use these for development of the system configuration, with all DeltaV nodes virtualized on a VM host.

    Very useful and much easier to manage than physical controllers.
