Emerson DeltaV VE6071F05C1 Smart Switch 8 Ports

Emerson DeltaV VE6071F05C1 Smart Switch

Product Introduction

The VE6071F05C1 is a managed smart switch designed for DeltaV automation networks. It provides six copper ports and two fiber uplink ports for flexible connectivity. Engineers use this switch to connect field devices, controllers, and workstations. Additionally, the DeltaV VE6071F05C1 supports both 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX communication standards. Its single-mode fiber ports extend network distances up to several kilometers. Therefore, this switch is ideal for large distributed control systems across multiple buildings or outdoor areas.

Technical Specifications

The VE6071F05C1 features a total of 8 ports. Specifically, it includes six RJ45 ports for 10/100BASE-TX copper connections. It also includes two SC-type ports for 100BASE-FX single-mode fiber uplinks. The current consumption reaches 24V DC at 321mA. Moreover, power output in BTU per hour is 26.3. The protection class stands at IP20, suitable for indoor control panels. For reference, an alternative model exists with 10 ports total: eight copper and two fiber. That model, the FP40-8TX2SM, consumes 8W and outputs 27 BTU/h.

Port Configuration and Usage

The DeltaV VE6071F05C1 offers six smart switch ports labeled as FP20-6TX2SM. Each RJ45 port auto-negotiates speed and duplex settings. Use the copper ports for local device connections within 100 meters. Furthermore, use the two SC single-mode fiber ports for long-distance uplinks. Single-mode fiber supports distances up to 15 kilometers or more. This configuration allows the VE6071F05C1 to serve as a backbone switch in a DeltaV network. Meanwhile, the fiber ports provide electrical isolation between remote areas.

Power and Environmental Data

Power consumption for the VE6071F05C1 measures approximately 7.7 watts (24V x 0.321A). Heat dissipation equals 26.3 BTU per hour. This low heat output allows installation in tightly packed cabinets. Additionally, the IP20 rating protects against solid objects larger than 12mm. However, avoid moisture and dust accumulation. Operation requires a clean, dry indoor environment. For outdoor or wash-down areas, place the DeltaV VE6071F05C1 inside a suitable enclosure.

Installation Guidelines

First, mount the VE6071F05C1 on a DIN rail or inside a control cabinet. Next, connect a 24V DC power supply to the terminal block. Observe correct polarity to prevent damage. Then, plug copper cables into the six RJ45 ports. Use Cat5e or better cables for reliable 100BASE-TX performance. For fiber connections, clean the SC connectors before insertion. Additionally, ensure the fiber bend radius stays above the minimum specification. Finally, power up the switch and verify link LEDs for each active port.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Can the VE6071F05C1 manage VLANs or QoS?

Yes. As a smart switch, it supports basic management features including VLAN tagging and Quality of Service (QoS) settings. Access these via its web interface.

2. What is the maximum fiber distance for the two SC ports?

Single-mode fiber supports distances up to 15 kilometers at 100 Mbps. Actual range depends on fiber quality and optical budget.

3. Does the DeltaV VE6071F05C1 support PoE (Power over Ethernet)?

No. This model does not provide PoE. Each connected device requires its own power supply. For PoE needs, select a different DeltaV switch model.

4. Can I use multimode fiber with the VE6071F05C1?

No. The SC ports are specified for single-mode fiber only. Using multimode fiber may cause signal loss or link failure.

5. How do I reset the VE6071F05C1 to factory defaults?

Press and hold the reset button for 10 seconds while the switch is powered on. All configurations will return to original settings.
