Emerson DeltaV™ Smart Switches Benefits DeltaV Network Device Command Center

DeltaV Network Device Command Center

The DeltaV Network Device Command Center is a DeltaV

application that provides full integration of the DeltaV Smart

Switches into the DeltaV and the DeltaV 2.5 networks. The

Command Center is used to perform switch commissioning

to create the communication between the DeltaV network

and the switch management application. The Network

Device Command Center provides access to the switch and

network diagnostics, device alert details, and port lockdown

applications. The management application provides a

centralized application to commission, diagnose, troubleshoot,

and secure the DeltaV Smart Switches. The Command Center

can be viewed by any DeltaV user.

The ability to commission and lock switches is limited to

the Can Configure, Can Calibrate, and Can Download user

privileges. Starting in DeltaV v13.3 the DeltaV Smart Switch can

be installed in the DeltaV 2.5 network or other DeltaV networks

external to the DeltaV control network. For the DeltaV Smart

Switch to be installed in a network the switch must be connected

to a DeltaV workstation (for example, Professional Plus) running

control modules.

DeltaV Plug-and-Play Installation

The DeltaV switches are easy to install in your DeltaV

network. Since they come preconfigured from the factory,

installation is as simple as mounting the unit, connecting the

communications cables, and powering up the unit. The switch

is configured to begin communications on power up — no

additional setup is required for the switching function to work

properly. This immediately returns the system to full redundancy

capability as quickly as possible with no time wasted configuring

the switch prior to installation.
