Fieldbus Licensing and DSTs

Hello,

I have a Rosemount 848T transmitter and a Beka associates 488CF fieldbus display. Our Delta V version is 11.3.1.

We are using 4 channels(RTD) of the transmitter, each channel is referenced in a CM with an AI block. this means 4 control modules.

In an additional control module, I have 2 ISEL blocks to send the transmitter's signal to the Beka display.

How is the DST count?

-I read somewhere, fieldbus devices consume 1DST per device, does not matter how many signals are sent or read. This will explain 2 DSTs.

-The other scenario: each AI-CM is 1 DST, meaning 4 DST, plus the remote display's CM (2 ISEL blocks) is an additional DST.  Total 5 DST.

Please, which of these options is correct, or am I totally wrong.

Thanks for your help!!
