Product Procurement & Buyer Guide
Selecting the Right Network Switch
The VE6041 is a fully managed smart switch for DeltaV systems. It supports eight local ports for connecting controllers or workstations. Two uplink ports provide connections to other switches in the network. All ports auto-negotiate to 100 MB for optimal performance. This switch integrates seamlessly into existing DeltaV network architectures. It installs between workstations and the Emerson Smart Firewall for security. This model is available with conformal coating for harsh environments.
Key Technical Specifications for Engineers
The VE6041 operates on a 24 V DC supply with an 18-30 V range. Its mechanical construction measures 74 x 131 x 111 mm for DIN rail mounting. The unit weighs only 410 grams and has an IP20 protection class. It includes one FP20 switch with a terminal block for wiring. The fan-less design ensures silent operation and high reliability. This switch supports both local and uplink port configurations without difference. It provides auto security lockdown for network protection.
Deployment Benefits for DeltaV Networks
The VE6041 provides completely managed network capabilities for DeltaV systems. Network alerts and diagnostics report automatically to DeltaV workstations for monitoring. This feature enables rapid troubleshooting and reduces system downtime significantly. The plug-and-play installation simplifies deployment for maintenance teams. Auto security lockdown protects the network from unauthorized access attempts. This switch integrates fully with Emerson's ecosystem for complete support.
Step-by-Step Installation Guide
Mechanical Mounting Procedure
Mount the VE6041 on a standard 35 mm DIN rail for installation. Ensure the rail is securely fastened within the control cabinet. Clip the switch onto the rail using the integrated mounting latch. Verify the unit is firmly seated and will not shift during operation. Allow adequate space around the switch for airflow and cable routing. The compact 74 mm width saves valuable panel space for other components.
Power and Network Wiring Instructions
Connect a 24 V DC power supply to the terminal block with proper polarity. Ensure the voltage remains within the 18-30 V operating range for stability. Use copper conductors rated for the current requirements of the switch. Connect local devices to any of the eight available 10/100 MB ports. Use the uplink ports to connect this switch to other network switches. The switch will auto-negotiate to 100 MB with compatible DeltaV devices. There is no functional difference between local and uplink port designations.
Network Configuration and Security Setup
The VE6041 automatically detects and configures connected DeltaV devices. Network alerts and diagnostics report directly to DeltaV workstations for visibility. The auto security lockdown feature activates to prevent unauthorized network access. This switch works between DeltaV workstations and the Emerson Smart Firewall. No manual IP configuration is required for basic network operation. The system provides complete management through the DeltaV software interface.
