Protocol Converter, Data Logger, Web Interface with virtual HMI - all in one box

The Vlinx ConnectPro provides the functionality of a powerful Protocol Converter, a Data Logger, and a Virtual HMI and Ethernet Gateway all in one package. With three built-in serial ports and a 10/100 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 slot allows new configuration files to be created at a central location and distributed to units installed in the field easily. The USB port may be used for blazing fast file downloads, or to mount an installed CompactFlash card as an external drive to your PC. DIN rail mounting saves time and panel space and snaps easily onto standard top hat (T) profile DIN rail.

The VFG2000 and VFG3000 offer several additional features beyond those offered by the VFG1000. The CompactFlash card slot allows data to be collected and stored for later review. The files are stored in simple CSV file format allowing common applications, such as Microsoft Excel and Access, to view and manage the data. The free Websync utility provides a means to synchronize the files with a PCs hard drive for permanent storage.

The built-in Web server allows log files to be retrieved manually, and also provides access to the unique "Virtual HMI". Any standard Web browser such as Internet Explorer or Netscape may be used to monitor or control the HMI from a PC anywhere in the world.

• Alarm Notifications can be sent via Email or Text Messages (VFG2000 & VFG3000)

Protocol Conversion
Everyone struggles with connectivity issues. Whether it's the PLC, servo, the barcode scanner, or the sensor with a serial output, something will communicate with a protocol that differs from the rest of the components in the system. The Vlinx ConnectPro solves these connectivity issues.

Data Logger
Everyone is trying to improve productivity. To do this, data needs to be gathered, stored, and analyzed. Many SCADA systems can do this. However, the cost and complexity proves prohibitive in many applications. The Vlinx ConnectPro Gateway not only collects the required data, it provides it in a format ready to be used. VFG2000 and VFG3000 offer additional features beyond VFG1000. A CompactFlash card slot allows data to be collected and stored in simple CSV file format allowing common applications, such as Microsoft Excel and Access, to view and manage the data later. Free Websync utility helps sychronize the files with a PC's hard drive for permanent storage.

Virtual HMI
Everyone is interested in lowering costs. Having the ability to know what a process or machine is doing and being able to modify that system from a remote location saves time and travel costs. The Vlinx ConnectPro's virtual HMI and Ethernet gateway provides advanced remote support capability to any machine.
