VIMNet Explorer

VIMNet Explorer allows the user to commission the VIM2;

setup primary, secondary, and/or redundant VIM2s; define

the Ethernet I/O network; and view advanced diagnostics

information. The user can specify the IP address, Subnet

Mask, and Gateway of each VIM2 and set the node address

and names of each Ethernet I/O device integrated with

the VIM2. VIMNet Explorer is also used to flash upgrade a

VIM from one version of a driver to another or to replace

an existing driver type with another. Only one Ethernet I/O

driver may be loaded in the VIM2 at one time.

VIMNet Explorer application must run on a workstation

that has network connectivity to the Ethernet I/O network.

This may be a DeltaV workstation with the third network

interface card (NIC) connected to the Ethernet I/O network

or may be a non-DeltaV workstation. Connection to the

VIM2 is done through the RJ-45 Network Connection on the

bottom of the VIM2.

VIMNet Explorer installation media is downloadable from Guardian.
