Emerson Compatible with non-DeltaV Switches
Compatible with non-DeltaV Switches
The DeltaV Smart Switch also can be installed in a new system
mixed with the currently supported and shipping Cisco or
Hirschmann switches.
Please read DeltaV Books-on-line for important information
when retrofiting into existing DeltaV networks, especially in
systems with existing 3COM switches or media converters.
Fiberoptic connections on DeltaV Smart Switches are non
configurable and communicate only at 100Mbps on the DeltaV
ACN or 1Gbps switch-to-switch at full duplex.
Installing DeltaV Smart Switches into systems with existing
fiberoptic devices that are not set to 100/1000Mbps full duplex
will cause communications disruptions in the network.
Use outside of the DeltaV Control Network
The DeltaV Smart Switches is supported only as an unmanaged
switch if installed in networks outside of the DeltaV control
network, the DeltaV 2.5 network between the DeltaV
workstations and the perimeter firewall (such as the Emerson
Smart Firewall), or other DeltaV networks external to the DeltaV
control network. The switch will only accept a management
port network address from the DeltaV Network Device
Command Center and the switch can only be used where this
application is able to access the switch.
The DeltaV Smart Switches is not available for use as a managed
switch in the DeltaV InterZone network as the DeltaV Network
Device Command Center cannot access the switch if located on this network.
