Networking Versatility to Handle Broad Range of Applications
Connectable to Diverse Devices
VDS can easily link a variety of equipment including FCN and FCJ autonomous controllers, various suppliers' programmable logic controllers, temperature controllers, and power monitors, on an integrated network. Whether for factory or process automation equipment, VDS can handle various applications for production lines and manufacturing processes.
Autonomous Controller
By linking FCN and FCJ autonomous controllers featuring loop control and sequence control, a high-performance process control system can be built at low cost.
Other Suppliers' PLCs
Not only Yokogawa FA-M3 universal range controllers but also Mitsubishi Electric MELSEC Series and OMRON SYSMAC Series programmable logic controllers can be connected using drivers with their respective middleware, EZSocket and FinsGateway.
Data Acquisition Equipment and Recorders
By connecting Yokogawa DARWIN data acquisition equipment and DAQSTATION networking paper-free recorders, measured data can be saved and reports printed.
