CommLink IV
General
The CommLink IV 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 OE415-02 IP Module Kit, when installed and configured in the CommLink IV
communication interface, 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 ft. 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
