What is the
VP Link® Loop ?
®
provides process dynamics in real time to
an off-line control system. While executing "the loop", your
controllers are performing their application specific sequencing, interlock
logic, PID and regulatory functions as well as any advanced control strategies
configured for your plant. Typically, VP Link®
connects to the actual control system prior to going on-line. This
could be in the staging area or during on-site acceptance testing.
Certain control system vendors offer an emulator - a software
environment which executes the control logic in a other than native environment
- this eliminates the need for control hardware. Cape Software strives to
support both solutions: direct connect to the hardware as well as an
emulator
whenever possible. Each interface is control system specific. For more
information on connectivity and utilities for your system of interest, refer to
the menu on the left side, to select the control system of interest.
