Application Scenarios
In a large-scale pharmaceutical manufacturing facility running a DeltaV distributed control system, the production network must maintain uninterrupted communication between redundant controllers and operator stations across multiple process areas. When a legacy network switch experienced intermittent port failures, the operations team faced a critical decision: migrate to a new network architecture requiring extensive reconfiguration, or source a compatible replacement that preserved existing wiring and topology. The VE6022P1 provided a direct-fit solution—its 12 SFP slots accepted the facility’s existing fiber optic transceivers, and its Cisco Catalyst 3750G-12S-S OEM lineage meant that existing configuration commands and stacking behavior remained unchanged . The switch restored full network redundancy within hours rather than days, avoiding the production downtime that a full network overhaul would have caused.
