Smart Switches Are Pre-configured to Work Within the DeltaV Network

Emerson Process Management has unveiled a line of smart network switches specifically designed to plug and play within the DeltaV digital system network. These switches come completely pre-configured to work within the DeltaV network, requiring no setup of the switching functions by the user. In addition, they provide an easy-to-use security feature to help prevent unauthorized network connections to the switch.

Emerson’s smart switches contain “one-click lockdown” software that provides switch monitoring capabilities and security features for the DeltaV system. DeltaV switches offer Megabit and Gigabit speeds over wired and fiber communications and are available from eight-port DIN rail mounted switches to a modular 24-port rack mount switch with eight wired ports and an additional 16 wired or fiber-optic ports. Both the DIN rail and rack mount switches provide a modular solution so users can optimize cost and footprint to meet their specific needs.
