There are two types of remote workstation: the Remote Application Station and the Remote Operator Station. Remote Application Stations are supported to connect to an Application Station. Remote Operator Stations can connect to the DeltaV System through either the ProfessionalPLUS workstation or an Application Station. Remote Application Stations also contain a Remote Network subsystem allowing remote workstations to be added to it.
The ProfessionalPLUS workstation supports a remote network with two Remote Operator Stations but does not support Remote Application Stations. Application Stations support a network of as many as ten remote workstations. All ten of these remote workstations can be Remote Operator Stations but only one can be Remote Application Station. Remote Application Stations support a remote network of as many as ten Remote Operator Stations. The Remote Application Station network does not support another Remote Application Station.
Remote workstations can be licensed as Professional Stations to provide engineering capability at the remote workstation. If required, every remote workstation can be licensed as a Professional Station. The ProfessionalPLUS workstation allows any of these remote workstations to access the database. The ProfessionalPLUS computer hardware determines the number of concurrent engineering connections allowed.
