WEIGHT: 2.0 oz (56.7 g) 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 2.0 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.

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 1. Remove power from the unit 2. 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 1. 3. Verify that the option card knobs are in the “unlocked” position as shown in Figure 2. 4. 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 3. Once aligned, gently press on the front of the card until it is flush with the front of the case. 5. Turn the option card knobs to the locked position as shown in Figure 4.
