Smart network switch for the DeltaV digital automation system
13 January 2009
Emerson Process Management has unveiled a line of smart network switches specifically designed to ‘plug and play’ within a DeltaV digital system network. These switches come completely pre-configured, requiring no setup of the switching functions by the user. In addition, they help to prevent unauthorised network connections to the switch.

The switches feature software which is specifically designed to provide switch monitoring capabilities and security features for the DeltaV system. They use patent pending, Emerson “one-click lockdown” software for these security functions.
DeltaV switches provide Megabit and Gigabit speeds over wired and fibre communications. They are available from 8 port DIN rail mounted switches to a modular 24 port rack mount switch with 8 wired ports and up to an additional 16 wired or fibre optic ports.
DeltaV systems are a core component of Emerson’s open standards-based PlantWeb digital plant architecture which substantially reduces project costs, with customers typically saving over 30% on installed costs.
