Integration with OLE2 Automation compliant standard applications, such as Excel and Access, is made easy, because VIGO acts as an OLE server. Furthermore, custom designed applications written in object oriented languages such as Visual Basic, Delphi, Visual C++ etc., can utilise Fieldbus devices as objects, and individual external measurements can be regarded as if they were internal variables.
VIGO can also be switched into Simulation Mode, to allow applications and projects to be tested off-line, prior to installation or during the commissioning phase.
VIGO also provides the means for such object oriented data to be transmitted between workstations, PC’s and servers via any network supported by Windows. This enables Fieldbus data to be displayed and controlled throughout a corporate management system or Intranet.
Using the built in Modbus driver and a serial port on the PC, VIGO is also able to exchange data with any PLC, controller or other equipment having a Modbus RS-232 serial communication port.
