Introduction

Benefits

The DeltaV™ Network “Smart” switches are the next generation
in the use of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components
in control systems. Called “purpose-built” commercial
components, these switches combine the lower cost of off-theshelf components with DeltaV specific software and features
to make them more integrated and plug-and-play in the
DeltaV Area Control Network (ACN) and other DeltaV networks
external to the ACN.

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 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.

DeltaV Smart Switches require no configuration to function in
the DeltaV networks. Accessing the advanced features takes
only minor configuration that is easy to perform using the
DeltaV Network Device Command Center and secured so you
can’t incorrectly configure any switching functions that impact
the performance of the DeltaV system.
This purpose-built switch allows the DeltaV system to provide
an auto port lockdown advanced security feature that is easy for
a control system user to implement: an increasingly important
product feature in today’s hostile environment.

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 appli
