System Compatibility
Network Storm Protection Features
Packet rate limiting - the Smart Switch is configured with
a fixed rate packet limiting setting. The switch rate limiting
prevents network communication storms generated from
broadcast, multicast, and unknown unicast messages from
impacting DeltaV communications by blocking excessive
traffic. These types of excess traffic can occur naturally as part
of the traffic generated by Ethernet communications. Storm
protection is enabled to protect the network during system
maintenance activities, redundancy switchovers, and during
times when the system is performing routine network activities
where excess network traffic is possible.
Network Loop protection – spanning tree protocol is
implemented on the Smart Switch to prevent a network loop
from creating a network communication storm.
These storm protection features are enabled by default and
cannot be disabled or configured. Storm protection is enabled
even if the switch is not given an IP address for management.
These features are completely compatible with older DeltaV
Smart Switches. Existing switches can be field upgraded to use
these new features if desired.
Please see the general specifications section for specific
firmware version numbers.
Important note: Network storm protection and loop
protection are available only on managed switches. Therefore,
DeltaV control networks using Electronic Marshalling require a
Smart Switch installed between the DeltaV controller and CIOC.
This network configuration reduces the risk of a network storm
disrupting communications and causing the CIOC to go to a
fail-safe mode.
Please refer to DeltaV Books-On-Line and the v13.3 System
Planning Guide for more information and requirements for
implementing the DeltaV Area Control Network with
Electronic Marshalling.
