Product Overview

The SE3008 is a DeltaV SQ Controller from Emerson. This controller provides communication and control functions for your process system. Furthermore, it integrates field devices and other nodes on the control network. The SE3008 offers a smaller controller platform at a reduced price for small to moderate applications. Consequently, you can match controller capacity to your specific process requirements. The SQ Controller complements the SX Controller perfectly within the DeltaV family.

LED Status Indicators

The SE3008 includes several LED indicators for quick diagnostics:

Green – Power: Indicates DC power is applied
Red – Error: Indicates an error condition
Green – Active: Indicates the controller is operating as the primary controller
Green – Standby: Indicates the controller is operating as a backup controller
Yellow flashing – Pri. CN: Indicates valid primary control network communication
Yellow flashing – Sec. CN: Indicates valid secondary control network communication

External Connections and Redundancy

Primary control network: 8-pin RJ-45 connector
Secondary control network: 8-pin RJ-45 connector

The SE3008 supports 1:1 redundancy for increased system availability. Redundant SQ Controllers can be upgraded to SX Controllers online without shutdown. Hardware redundancy is automatically detected with zero configuration effort. Furthermore, the SE3008 provides automatic diagnostic and event reporting with time stamps applied directly in the controller.

Electronic Marshalling and I/O Capabilities

The SE3008 is designed for Electronic Marshalling with CHARM based I/O. Electronic Marshalling I/O can be mounted anywhere in your facility. Consequently, this facilitates system design and expansion while reducing overall system footprint. Traditional marshalled I/O subsystems require more space and wiring. The SE3008 delivers highly distributable I/O capabilities for modern control architectures.

Key Benefits and Features

Scalable Controllers: The SE3008 complements the SX Controller perfectly.
Quick Assembly: Carriers snap to standard DIN rails without retaining screws.
Easy to Use: Simply connect the SE3008 to the DeltaV network and use Auto-Sense.
Field Proven Architecture: The SE3008 evolved from the DeltaV MQ Controller.
Late Changes: You can easily upgrade an SQ Controller to an SX controller.
Online Expandable: New I/O cards can be added online with autosense capability.
