Network performance problems might be caused by address conflicts. If you configure a new database, you must use the DBAdmin tools to create a database and set the database to Active. Then, to create the master node in the database, you must run DeltaV Workstation Configuration (PCInstall) in the menu.
If you do not run PCInstall to create the master node, the IP address in the database might not be the IP address at which the workstation network cards are configured. As a result, when you create a new controller in the DeltaV Explorer using drag-and-drop, a decommissioned controller address can conflict with the IP address of the workstation.
The DeltaV ProfessionalPLUS or Application Station connects your DeltaV system to your Plant LAN. Make sure that this connection only transfers the information that you intend it to transfer. Transferring unnecessary information can cause your network to slow down. Therefore, it is important that you understand routing characteristics and take the necessary actions to make sure that your system is properly configured. Refer to your router documentation for more information.
