GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Vlinx Fieldbus Gateway was designed to act as a nexus for industrial data

collection and management. With three built in serial ports and a 10 Base-T/100

Base-TX Ethernet port, the unit performs protocol conversion, allowing

disparate devices to communicate seamlessly with one another. The Ethernet

port supports up to four protocols simultaneously so even Ethernet to Ethernet

conversion may be performed.

The CompactFlash card allows new configuration files to be loaded into the

Vlinx Fieldbus Gateway. The USB port may be used for blazing fast file

downloads, or to mount the Vlinx Fieldbus Gateway’s CompactFlash card as an

external drive to your PC. The Vlinx Fieldbus Gateway’s DIN rail mounting

saves time and panel space and snaps easily onto standard top hat (T) profile

DIN rail.

SOFTWARE

The Vlinx Fieldbus Gateway is programmed with Fieldbus Gateway Manager

for Windows

2000 or later platforms. The software is an easy to use graphical

interface which can be purchased as part of a kit that includes a manual and

cables, or downloaded free of charge.

SAFETY SUMMARY

All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in the

manual 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. An independent

and redundant temperature limit indicator with alarm outputs is strongly

recommended.

CompactFlash is a registered trademark of CompactFlash Association.
