 Ethernet/IP Scanner Class (originator) 

functionality 

 UCMM (unconnected) messaging client and 

server Class 3 (connected) messaging client and 

server, including encapsulated DF1 message 

Class 1 (I/O) connection client and server 

DeltaV Licensing Guidelines

DeltaV Software Licensing Requirements (DST count) will 

be impacted by DeltaV Module configuration use of VIM2

registers in the same way as Serial Card registers. The 

following guidelines can be applied:

 A DeltaV Serial Card data set can contain up to 100 

values (a value can be any Boolean, 8-bit or 16-bit 

number), and up to16 data sets are supported by 

each of the 2 ports on the serial card. If the data set 

registers are configured as floating point or 32-bit 

values, then the maximum value is 50. However, the 

serial device, in general, limits the total capacity of the 

interface. 

 Each data set counts as one DST as long as a single 

module references all values in the data set. If 

multiple modules reference values in a data set, then 

the DST count for the data set is equal to the number 

of modules referencing the data set. 

 Values used in modules containing control function 

blocks will be counted as Control DSTs.
