DeltaV Plug-and-Play Installation

The DeltaV switches are easy to install in your DeltaV

network. Since they come preconfigured from the factory,

installation is as simple as mounting the unit, connecting the

communications cables, and powering up the unit. The switch

is configured to begin communications on power up — no

additional setup is required for the switching function to work

properly. This immediately returns the system to full redundancy

capability as quickly as possible with no time wasted configuring

the switch prior to installation.

Plug-and-play installation. Smart Switches are configured

with DeltaV-compatible settings so that they can be installed

into a compatible DeltaV network right out of the box. They

require no user configuration to fully support DeltaV network

communications. There is no user access to make changes to

this default switching configuration so you never have to worry

about a misconfigured switch impacting network performance.

Plug and play requires any existing switches or network devices

to be configured to communicate in 100/1000 full duplex or to

auto-negotiate. See the compatibility sections in this document

for details.
