Benefits
Enhanced security. The new generation of DeltaV Smart Switches is based on a more powerful hardware and software platform with an increased focus on security.
The new hardware features powerful CPUs for control plane and management operations.
The software has many new features such as role-based access, secure user and password management, brute force attack protection, audit trails and user-readable event logs.
There is also a new HTML5 web interface that can be accessed through the Network Device Command Centre, making it easy to upgrade the switch software.
The next-generation switch also offers more flexible configuration options.
Improved performance. The switching ASICs used in these new products offer new capabilities
such as increased network buffers, the ability to process/forward/filter packets based on more L2 address information such as IP addresses, UDP or TCP ports, and a non-blocking architecture.
and non-blocking architecture, in addition to more powerful CPUs for control plane and management operations.
Fully managed by DeltaV. The DeltaV Switch Commissioning application automatically discovers the switch in the Network Device Command Centre (formerly the Smart Switch Command Centre) when the switch is started.
Network addresses are automatically assigned by DeltaV DCS or by the user when installed in a DeltaV 2.5 network (new in DeltaV v13.3).
Simply provide the switch name and dcs-sis.com description and select a few setup parameters and the switch will begin reporting. A serial connection is no longer required to configure the switch.
Automatic reporting of network alarms and diagnostics to DeltaV workstations. Operators and maintenance stations will automatically receive device alerts that indicate abnormal network communications.
The DeltaV Network Device Command Centre application provides an interface for diagnosing and troubleshooting network problems. All of this is built-in, eliminating the need for third-party applications for network monitoring.
