Description
The Ultra SlimPak II Communications
Interface adds functionality
never before found in a signal
conditioning system. A single
WVC16 interfaces with as many
as 32 Ultra SlimPak II devices
by means of an internal infrared
communications link. Through
an Ethernet link in the WVC16,
the information can then made
available over the user's intranet.
This powerful combination allows
the user to view process data
on a near real time basis, perform
data logging functions on specified
modules, view diagnostic information,
and (under certain conditions)
calibrate the modules remotely.
The
WVC16 can send email messages
to people who might need to
be notified when an alarm condition
exists. It can also send an
email message letting maintenance
personnel know when it's time
to perform calibration checks.
All of this functionality is
made possible by a signed Java
applet which is (transparently)
down- loaded to run on the client's
computer. Using an applet rather
than a traditional web page
allows data to be updated in
near real time.

The
applet provides access to the
signal conditioner's data, which
includes:
- Module configuration summary
- Module configuration editing
- Diagnostic/warning status
- Alarm setup & status
- E-mail setup, editing &
address book
- Process variable viewing
- Data logging capabilities
All
memory to support the signal
conditioner's historical data
is battery backed. The web pages
and all e-mail messages are
stored in non-volatile memory.
