B&B Electronics VFG9000-DN - Quick Start Guide - Manual


CONFIGURED USING VLINX FIELDBUS GATEWAY MANAGER

DIGITALLY ISOLATED DeviceNet PORT CAPABLE OF
COMMUNICATING WITH ANY DeviceNet MASTER

EASY INSTALLATION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Vlinx Fieldbus Gateway 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 VFG9000-DN option card adds a DeviceNet slave communication port
to the series. This isolated card protects user equipment from potentially
harmful ground loops while providing the ability to communicate to any high
speed DeviceNet master. Additionally, the VFG9000-DN connector is pluggable
for easy removal of the Fieldbus Gateway from the DeviceNet bus without
disturbing communications with other devices on the bus.
The VFG9000-DN communication card is easily installed by removing the
blank expansion port cover of your Fieldbus Gateway, and plugging the
VFG9000-DN card into the expansion port. Configuration is simple using B&B
Electronics’ free Fieldbus Gateway 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.
