Application Scenarios
In a DeltaV-controlled refinery, the control room houses a VE6022 12-slot gigabit switch that aggregates fiber uplinks from multiple process units across the plant. When a new analyzer shelter is installed just 40 meters away in an adjacent electrical room, the project team faces a choice: run a new fiber pair with fusion splicing and termination, or use the existing spare copper pathway already routed between the two rooms.
The VE6025 solves this problem in seconds. A technician inserts the SFP module into an empty gigabit slot on the VE6022 switch, connects a standard Cat6 patch cable to the analyzer shelter‘s Ethernet switch, and the link comes up immediately. No fiber pulling, no fusion splicing, no optical testing. The entire network extension is completed during a single maintenance window, and the DeltaV controller sees the new analyzer data without any additional configuration .
In another case, a pharmaceutical plant’s DeltaV system spans three floors of a manufacturing building. The VE6022 switch in the main control room has fiber uplinks to satellite cabinets on each floor, but the basement utility room only has copper cabling available. The VE6025 bridges this gap, providing gigabit connectivity to the basement DeltaV controller over existing structured cabling.
