Refer to “DeltaV Remote Network” for overview information and to "Control Network Specifications" for detailed installation information. To set up the Remote Network, install the switches for the remote network connections and connect the network communications cables between the remote workstations and the DeltaV RAS Applications Stations and ProfessionalPLUS workstation.
Users must assign their own PC names and IP addresses to the remote workstations before installing DeltaV software. If the remote workstation is already on the plant-wide LAN, it has been assigned a name and IP address that can be used for communications with the DeltaV system. If you are building a dedicated DeltaV Remote Network, then workstation node names and IP addresses must be assigned before the workstations are set up in the DeltaV Explorer. These assigned node names must be used as the workstation names in the DeltaV Explorer. Refer to the online help for the DeltaV Workstation Configuration application for information.
The cable installation requirements for the DeltaV Remote Network are the same as the installation requirements for the DeltaV Control Network. Refer to “Control Network Installation Requirements” for cable requirements and to "Control Network Specifications" for detailed installation information.
