The Ultra SlimPak II Series can function as traditional stand-alone limit alarms and isolators, or they can simultaneously be connected to your company’s intranet to monitor your signals via a standard browser when coupled with the optional WVC16 interface unit.
Configuring Modules
Configuration is accomplished by setting DIP switches and using a pushbutton to calibrate the range. It is also possible to remotely modify parameters using an Ethernet connection to the WVC16 and a remote
PC-based web browser.
WVC16 Ethernet Communications Interface (Optional)
The WVC16 Communications Interface adds functionality never before found in a signal conditioning system. The WVC16 interfaces with Ultra SlimPak II devices via an internal infrared communications link (no programming required) and provides the ability to connect as many as 32 modules to the intranet. The WVC16 allows the user to view process data on a near real time basis, perform data logging functions on specified modules, calibrate the signal conditioners remotely, and view diagnostic information.
The WVC16 contains a web page server and an e-mail server. Browsers supported include Internet Explorer 5 or later and Netscape Navigator 4.7 or later. The user has the ability to have setpoint trip conditions generate an e-mail message for up to 10 recipients. The module also contains a countdown timer that can be used to notify when routine maintenance is required, such as re-calibration. The internal temperature of the module can also be monitored. All memory to support the signal conditioner’s historical data, storage of the web pages and all e-mail
messages is contained in the WVC16.
