Installing Non-UL Rated parts or components into any UL Rated device voids the original UL rating on that device. 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 VFG9000ENET 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 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. CAUTION Risk of Danger. Read complete instructions prior to installation and operation of the unit. SPECIFICATIONS POWER REQUIREMENTS 24 V 30 mA max. Power is supplied to the option card by the Vlinx ConnectPro.
