Scalable, Cybersecure, and Easy-to-Configure Peer-to-Peer Networking for Remote Operations

DeltaV™ FBxNet™ is a secure, Ethernet-based, inter-device communications network used in a peer to peer setting to exchange data among DeltaV FB3000 RTUs and FB1000 and FB2000 Series Flow Computers. This advanced yet intuitive architectural solution seamlessly enables robust remote control across complex oil and gas production sites. It simplifies input/output distribution and data mapping, supports failsafe mode if communications between devices are lost, and incorporates a built-in design that does not require an additional application on the RTU or flow computer to run. The integration of DeltaV FBxNet with Remote I/O allows up to 21 FB3000 RTUs along with FB1000 and FB2000 Series Flow Computers to communicate with one another across multiple locations. Future-proof your oil and gas operation by standardizing on our scalable, integrated measurement and control platform that offers ultra-flexible control and ample processing power to handle demanding network requirements.
