ViewPAC combines PAC (Programmable Automation Controller), color graphic display and keypad in one unit (PAC + HMI).
It is equipped with a PXA270 CPU (520 MHz) running Windows CE .NET 5.0 operating system, a 3.5"/5.7" TFT LCD, a rubber keypad, 3 I/O slots and various connectivity including USB, Ethernet and RS-232/485. Its operating system, Windows CE .NET 5.0, has many advantages, includes hard real-time capability, small core size, fast boot speed, interrupt handling at a deeper level and achievable deterministic control. Running Windows CE .NET 5.0 in the ViewPAC gives it the ability to run ISaGRAF and PC-based control software such as Visual Basic .NET, Visual C#, Visual C++, SCADA software, etc.

If LAN1 is broken, it will switch to the 2nd Ethernet port (in optional I-8135W card) automatically to continuously work. (This need LAN1 & the 2nd Ethernet’s IP are set in the same IP domain)
FRnet I/O
Support max 3 pcs. I-8172W boards in slot 0 to 2 to connect to FRnet I/O modules, like FR-2053, FR-2057 FR-32R, FR-32P, at www.icpdas.com > FAQ > Software > ISaGRAF Ver.3 (English) FAQ-048. Each I-8172w board can connect up to 256 DI plus 256 DO channels.
Send Email
Supports "mail_snd" and "mail_set" functions to send email with one attached file via Ethernet port.
Ebus
To exchange data between ICP DAS’s ISaGRAF Ethernet controllers via Ethernet port. (LAN1 Port only)
SMS: Short Message Service
One of COM3 (or COM5 if multi-serial port board is plugged in) can link to a GSM Modem to support SMS. User can request data/control the controller by cellular phone. The controller can also send data & alarms to user’s cellular phone. Optional GSM Modems: GTM-201-RS232 (850/900/1800/1900 GSM/GPRS External Modem)
User-defined Protocol
User can write his own protocol applied at COM2~COM3 & COM5~COM14(if multi-serial port boards are plugged in) by Serial communication function blocks.
Modem_Link
No support Modem_Link.
MMICON/LCD
COM3 or COM5(if I-8112W/8114W is found) supports ICP DAS's MMICON. The MMICON is featured with a 240 x 64 dot LCD & a 4 x 4 Keyboard to display picture, string, integer, float, & input a char, string, integer & float.
UDP Server & UDP Client
(Exchange Message &
Auto-Report)
LAN1 or 2nd Ethernet port (in optional I-8135W card) support UDP Server and UDP/IP Client protocol to send/receive message to/from PC/HMI or other devices. For example, to automatically report data to InduSoft's RXTX driver.
TCP Client
(Exchange Message &
Auto-Report)
LAN1 or 2nd Ethernet port (in optional I-8135W card) support TCP Client protocol to send/receive message to/from PC/HMI or other devices which support TCP Server protocol. For example, to automatically report data to InduSoft ‘s RXTX driver, or to connect a location camera.
New Hot-Swap and
Redundant System
Must enable the 2nd Ethernet port in the optional I-8135W card. This redundant system has setup two “Active IP” address point to the active VP-25W7/VP-23W7 's LAN1 and 2nd Ethernet ports always. One or two or more PC / HMI / SCADA can communicate with this redundant system via one of the two given active IP. So the PC / HMI / SCADA can access to the system easily without any notice about which VP-25W7/VP-23W7 is currently active. Moreover, the new redundant system can integrate with the RU-87P4 and RU-87P8 expansion unit plus the I-87K high-profile I/O cards to support the hot-swap application. If the I/O card is damaged, the maintenance person just takes one good-card with same model number to hot-swap the damaged one without stopping this redundant system. Please refer to www.icpdas.com > FAQ > Software > ISaGRAF Ver.3 (English) FAQ-093.
CAN/CANopen
VP-25W7/VP-23W7 can use its COM3 or COM5~COM14 resides at the I-8112iW/8114W/8114iW RS-232 expansion board to connect one I-7530 : the RS-232 to CAN converter to support CAN and CANopen devices and sensors. One VP-25W7/VP-23W7 supports max. Ten RS-232 ports to connect max. Ten I-7530. Please refer to www.icpdas.com > FAQ > Software > ISaGRAF Ver.3 (English) FAQ-086.
