CommLink IV Interface
The CommLink IV Interface is used to transfer communications between controllers on
your control system loops. It can also be used as an interface for connection of a computer
to your system. The CommLink IV provides communication with any controller on the
control system through a computer that is running Prism software, or it can be used to
communicate with most controllers by using only the System Manager. For remote
communications, an IP Module Kit can be installed for LAN and Internet connections, or
a Remote Link II can be connected for dial-up connections.
STATUS
Optional IP Module Kit
The IP Module Kit, when installed and configured in the CommLink IV, provides
TCP/IP Internet and/or intranet connection for Ethernet networked computer systems
allowing them to communicate with your control system.
The OE415-02 IP Module Kit consists of the IP Module and a 10-foot-long CAT5
Ethernet crossover cable. Using standard TCP/IP Protocol, with WattMaster’s Prism
software, you are able to monitor and configure your controllers without a modem or a
direct connection from a PC. Utilizing existing routers, proxies, or firewalls allows a PC
running Prism to connect to a controller in a remote accessible location or building.
Several IP connection profiles can be created to facilitate monitoring several CommLink
IVs with IP Module Kits installed on individual sites. See the IP-Module Technical Guide
—WM-IPM-TGD for complete product details and installation instructions.
