Emerson DeltaV Distributed Control System DeltaV™ Smart Switches Benefits

Benefits

Completely Managed by DeltaV. Power up the switch and it is

automatically discovered by the DeltaV switch commissioning

application in the Network Device Command Center (formerly

the Smart Switch Command Center). The network address

is automatically assigned by DeltaV DCS or by the user when

installed in the DeltaV 2.5 network (new in DeltaV v13.3).

Just provide a switch name, description, and select a few setup

parameters and the switch begins reporting. No more serial

connections are required to configure switches.

Network alerts and diagnostics automatically reported

to DeltaV workstations. Operators and maintenance

stations will automatically receive device alerts indicating

network communications irregularities. The DeltaV

Network Device Command Center application provides

the interface to diagnose and troubleshoot network problems.

All built-in without the need for third party applications for

network monitoring.

Plug-and-play installation. Smart Switches are configured

with DeltaV-compatible settings so that they can be installed

into a compatible DeltaV network right out of the box. They

require no user configuration to fully support DeltaV network

communications. There is no user access to make changes to

this default switching configuration so you never have to worry

about a misconfigured switch impacting network performance.

Plug and play requires any existing switches or network devices

to be configured to communicate in 100/1000 full duplex or to

auto-negotiate. See the compatibility sections in this document

for details.

Auto lockdown prevents unauthorized network

connections. Disabling unused network connections is a

security “best practice” and helps you comply with plant

security policies. With the one-click lockdown capability built

into the switch, you can automatically lock all unused network

ports in the system with a single button click in the DeltaV

Network Device Command Center application. Easy to secure the

network from intrusions.

Full range of switch hardware configurations. DeltaV

network switches are available in a variety of hardware

solutions. From a 24-port rack-mounted unit to both fixed

port and modular field-mounted switches, the DeltaV network

switch will meet a wide variety of network requirements.

The broad line of DeltaV Smart Switches are all you need to

implement a complete DeltaV control network.

Fully supported by Emerson. As Emerson products, these

DeltaV Network Switches are completely supported by Emerson

when used within the DeltaV network. You receive full technical

support from our Global Service Center, warranty support,

product support, and education—all from Emerson.
