SISNet Distance Extenders

Extend the DeltaV SIS remote peer ring with SISNet Distance Extenders

 Dedicated safety communications Introduction

The DeltaV SISTM process safety system, part of
 Full communications redundancy Emerson’s Smart SIS, has a modular, distributed
architecture. This architecture enables flexibility to meet
 Flexibility to meets project needs project needs – for both large and small systems. The
SISNet is a counter-rotating redundant fiber optic ring
which transmits safety-critical data between logic solvers
 Consistent update rate on separate nodes, connected by SISNet Repeaters.
SISNet Distance Extenders are used when the distance
between the repeaters is greater than a couple of
kilometers.

Benefits
Dedicated safety communications. The SISNet is a
safety-rated network for DeltaV SIS nodes to
communicate with each other. This network is dedicated to
safety information, and the SISNet Distance Extender is
part of the safety system. The network and SISNet
Distance Extenders are immune to any failure of the basic
process control system network.

Full communications redundancy. The SISNet

Distance Extenders are installed with the SISNet
Repeaters as a redundant pair. The primary SISNet
Distance Extender is connected to one fiber optic ring, and
the secondary SISNet Distance Extender on a separate,
independent ring.

Flexibility to meet project needs. Up to 32 DeltaV

SIS nodes may be connected on one SISNet ring. There
may be nodes needing Distance Extenders combined with
nodes not needing Distance Extenders on one SISNet
ring. Multimode Fiber-Optic Connectors on the SISNet

Consistent update rate. All of the data broadcast on
the SISNet is available to all of the other DeltaV SIS nodes
within 50ms. This update time is guaranteed – regardless
of the network size.

Product Description
SISNet Distance Extenders convert multimode fiber-optic
signals to single mode fiber-optic signals to allow SISNet
Repeaters to communicate over greater distances.
Depending upon the installation, the remote peer ring can
be extended by an additional 60 km between repeaters
when single mode fiber-optic cable is used.

The SISNet Distance Extenders are installed directly on

the DIN rail. Multimode fiber-optic cables are installed
between the SISNet Distance Extenders and SISNet
Repeaters. Single mode fiber-optic cables are used to
connect the Distance Extenders to each other.

The figure below shows a remote peer ring with two local nodes (Nodes 1 and 3) and one remote node (Node 2). Link
distances for a local node are less than or equal to 2 km (nominal) one way. Link distances for a remote node are up to 60 km
(nominal) one way.

The figure below shows a remote peer ring in which all nodes are remote. This remote peer ring uses a counter-rotation
topology in which the primary SISNet Repeaters are connected clockwise and the secondary counterclockwise.
