AO Plus (16 ch) card wiring/terminal block specification

Hello All,

I came across the AO Plus (16 ch) card for the S-series DeltaV controller in the Traditional IO sheet.  I have been searching around for the terminal block connections diagram for a while with no success yet.  I have not seen on the BOL either.  Can someone point me in the right direction?

Also, this card is not available on the DeltaV Explorer when adding new cards to the IO network.  Is there something else required to have this card available for configuration?

Thanks in advance.

  You'll find it in version 13.3 Books on line.

  By that token, if you are not yet using 13.3, DeltaV explorer won't know that this new I/O type exists without a software patch, which may or may not be developed to allow older versions of DeltaV to use these new I/O cards.

  V13.3 BOL has details on the 16 channel simplex AO terminal block which may also be used with the AO Plus card.

  Ben, I completely missed the 16 channel simplex AO terminal block article.
  In the article on the AO plus card (below), it has a link to the mass termination block but not the more straightforward 16 channel termination block, though the article clearly states support for the simplex, redundant, and mass terminators. I got click-happy.

  Thanks Ben & Youssef. I was looking around on v12.3. The spec sheet did not state the version requirement.
  
  Is there a Hotfix to make this work with v12.3?
  
  Much appreciated.
  Regards.
