Introduction Benefits
The DeltaV™ SQ controllers provides communication and Scalable controllers. The SQ controller complements the
control functions and integrate field devices and the other SX controller by providing a smaller controller platform at a

Quick assembly. The S-series hardware has been designed for
speed of project execution. Carriers snap to standard DIN rails
and controllers and S-series I/O snap into position without the
use of retaining screws.
Easy to use. Controllers are also easy to configure. Simply
connect the SQ to the DeltaV network and Auto-Sense it from
DeltaV Explorer. Add the controller and all its I/O interfaces to
the system database and all components are automatically
addressed and communicating. There are no dip switches
or jumpers to set.
