Emerson VS6907 DeltaV SIS Single-Channel Relay Output Module

Emerson VS6907 DeltaV SIS Single-Channel Relay Output Module

The Emerson VS6907 is a safety-rated single-channel relay output module engineered for Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) within DeltaV distributed control environments. Certified to IEC 61508 SIL 3 standards, this module provides fail-safe final element control for emergency shutdown valves, motor contactors, and alarm annunciators in oil & gas, chemical processing, and power generation facilities.

Core Technical Specifications

• Contact Rating: 5A @ 250VAC / 30VDC resistive load
• Coil Voltage: 24VDC nominal (18-32VDC operating range)
• Safety Integrity Level: SIL 3 certified per IEC 61508
• Response Time: ≤ 15ms from command to contact closure
• Diagnostic Coverage: >99% with continuous coil monitoring
• Operating Temperature: -40°C to +70°C (-40°F to +158°F)
• Environmental Rating: Conformal coated for harsh industrial environments
• Mounting: DIN rail compatible, hot-swappable in DeltaV SIS chassis

Critical Application Scenarios

Emergency Shutdown (ESD) Systems: The VS6907 drives pneumatic shutdown valves in multi-zone ESD architectures, providing the final control element interface between DeltaV safety logic solvers and field actuators. Its SIL 3 certification ensures compliance with API RP 14C and IEC 61511 for offshore platforms and onshore processing facilities.

Fire & Gas Detection Systems: Interface with deluge valve solenoids, HVAC damper actuators, and emergency ventilation systems. The module's fast response time meets NFPA 72 requirements for life-safety applications, while diagnostic monitoring detects stuck contacts and coil failures before they compromise system integrity.

Burner Management Systems (BMS): Control fuel gas blocking valves, ignition transformers, and flame safeguard relays in industrial furnaces and boilers. The VS6907's proven mean time between failures (MTBF) exceeds 200,000 hours, reducing spurious trip rates in continuous process operations.

High Integrity Pressure Protection Systems (HIPPS): Actuate fast-closing isolation valves in pipeline overpressure scenarios, preventing catastrophic equipment damage and environmental releases. The module's deterministic response time ensures valve closure within safety instrumented function (SIF) requirements.

Advanced Diagnostic Features

Unlike conventional relay modules, the VS6907 incorporates continuous self-diagnostics that monitor coil current, contact position, and backplane communication integrity. Any deviation from normal operating parameters triggers immediate fault annunciation to the DeltaV operator interface, enabling predictive maintenance before failures occur.

The module's proof test interval can be extended to 10+ years when deployed in 1oo2 (one-out-of-two) voting configurations, significantly reducing lifecycle maintenance costs compared to non-diagnostic relay systems.

System Integration & Configuration

Installation is straightforward—the VS6907 mounts in any DeltaV SIS I/O chassis slot and auto-discovers upon power-up. Configuration through DeltaV Control Studio allows engineers to set energize-to-trip or de-energize-to-trip logic, contact debounce timers, and alarm thresholds. The module supports both normally-open and normally-closed wiring schemes to accommodate diverse field device requirements.

For redundant architectures, pair two VS6907 modules in a dual-channel configuration with cross-monitoring to achieve hardware fault tolerance (HFT) = 1, eliminating single points of failure in critical safety functions.
