The following steps have to be performed to install a new device onto a DeltaV
TM
system:
• From the start menu select DeltaV > Engineering > DeltaV Explorer.
• Select/Expand “Library” (right below DeltaV_System).
• Select “Fieldbus Devices”, using right mouse button. Click on “Fieldbus Devices”. This
will bring up a list of options.
• From the list, select “Add Device Definition”... This should give you a “Browse for folder”
selection box. Browse to the directory that contains the 7 files needed to “register” a
new device with DeltaV. These file will consist of 3 *.dll files, *.sym, *.ffo, *.fhx and
*.reg file. The files probably will be on a floppy disk or a CD-ROM that accompanies your
device. On CD-ROMs delivered together with Emerson analyzers the files are located in
the directory \Fieldbus. Dependent on the existent system use the files of the
appropriate subdirectory.
• After answering “yes“ to the first prompt, DeltaV will start the installation.
