3. Typical Application Scenarios
- Industries: Chemical, petrochemical, oil & gas, and pharmaceutical process industries.
- Local Safety Network (LSN): Connects Safety Controllers (CSL) and SZ controllers to enable high-speed, redundant safety signal transmission.
- Global Safety Network (GSN): Interconnects multiple LSNs through LSNB modules to build a distributed safety network.
- Hazardous Areas: With explosion-proof certifications, it can be installed directly in Class I Div 2 control cabinets.
4. Selection & Ordering Guidelines
- Network Topology: Confirm whether a star topology (LSN) or a GSN formed via LSNB is required.
- Software Version: LSN requires DeltaV SIS v12.3 or later; for GSN applications, v13.3 or later and Smart Switch software ≥ 4.2.14 are needed.
- Cabling & Fiber: Use shielded Cat5e for distances ≤ 100 m; use fiber optic transceivers for longer distances or high-EMI environments.
- Explosion Protection: Select models with appropriate certifications (e.g., FM Class I Div 2 T4) based on the hazard zone classification.
Summary
The Emerson LSN20-6TX2SM is a 6-port Ethernet safety switch designed for SIL 3 / IEC 61511 safety-instrumented systems.
It features 24 V DC power, 50 ms update rate, comprehensive hazardous-area certifications, and plug-and-play Smart Switch functionality.
As a core component of the DeltaV SIS Local Safety Network (LSN), it is ideal for process industry applications requiring high reliability and secure signal isolation.
