GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Vlinx ConnectPro contains a proprietary expansion port which provides
a high speed, parallel architecture that extends the functionality and flexibility
of the platform. This approach allows these products to evolve concurrently
with the latest advances in communications and standards, without sacrificing
performance. This high bandwidth channel has significantly greater throughput
when compared to the traditional (external) serial gateway approach.
The auxiliary Ethernet port provides a means to isolate machine-network
traffic from the plant-wide network, thereby negating the need for an industrial
router. Further, by isolating the machine and plant-wide networks, the system
only requires that a single IP address be provided by the company’s IT group.
The VFG9000-ENET option card is easily installed by removing the blank
expansion port cover of your Vlinx ConnectPro, and plugging the VFG9000-
ENET card into the expansion port. Installing this card adds an auxiliary 10/100
Ethernet port to any Vlinx ConnectPro. Configuration is simple using B&B
Electronics’ free Vlinx ConnectPro Manager 2.0 software.
SAFETY SUMMARY
All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in the
literature or on equipment must be observed to ensure personal safety and to
prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment connected to it. If
equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Do not use the controller to directly command motors, valves, or other
actuators not equipped with safeguards. To do so can be potentially harmful to
persons or equipment in the event of a fault to the controller.
