10/100 ETHERNET OPTION CARD FOR VLINX ConnectPro

VFG9000-ENET-0911qsg

CONFIGURED USING Vlinx ConnectPro MANAGER 10 BASE-T/100 BASE-TX ETHERNET PORT EASY INSTALLATION

NOTICE This product does not have a UL rating. 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.

INSTALLING THE VFG9000-ENET OPTION CARD

Caution The expansion and main circuit boards contain static sensitive components. Before handling the cards, discharge static charges from your body by touching a grounded bare metal object. Ideally, handle the cards at a static controlled clean workstation. Also, handle the cards by the edges only. Dirt, oil, or other contaminants that may contact the cards can adversely affect circuit operation.

Warning Risk of Danger Be sure to remove all power before removing the expansion port cover

Remove power from the unit Insert a flat-bladed screwdriver into the slot at the top of the expansion port
cover. Gently apply pressure on the screwdriver in an upward direction until the expansion port cover disengages from the unit as shown in Figure Verify that the option card knobs are in the “unlocked” position as shown in Figure Carefully insert the option card into the expansion port opening while aligning the card-edge connector on the option card with the main board's header, as shown in Figure Once aligned, gently press on the front of the card until it is flush with the front of the case.
