Accessories

Structure and Function

The accessories expand the functionality and the application range of the control of VIPA systems of other manufacturers. The accessories are useable across systems and are largely manufacturer independent.

Interface-Modules

The IM 306 modules, or PROFIBUS-DP slave interface cards for the SIMATIC S5, enable simple, economical and safe upgrading to newer control systems with PROFIBUS-DP master interfaces, while maintaining the Siemens SIMATIC S5 peripherals.

Teleservice-Modules

The Teleservice-Modules from VIPA are completely configurable via a web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer). You do not need any additional software.

Teleservice-Modules allow the collection of data from your machines and plant and send them automatically via e-mail to defined recipients. With these records, the overview of the machine and plant status is fully guaranteed.

The deployed VPN technology allows secure and encrypted connection between a PC and the devices connected to the Teleservice-Modules.

Cables and DP-Connectors

Accessories, such as programming and PROFIBUS cables in various lengths, PROFIBUS-DP-connectors with integrated intelligence and LED diagnostic display, a comprehensive set of adapters, rails, and connectors support the versatile use of the systems.

The bus connector EasyConn PB is used for connection of PROFIBUS participants in the bus line. The diagnostic LEDs, visible from all sides, facilitate starting considerably. The status of bus activity, the final resistance, the power supply and bus status are directly visible. The integrated controller supports data rates up to 12 Mbit/s.
