Connecting to the process tool (VacOK)
There is one connection to be made between the Vision 2000-P system and the process tool. This is a 3 meter
cable labelled “VacOK” fitted at one end with a 15-way Male D-type connector and terminated with a 2-pin
connection block labelled “VacOK”.
When supplied, the connection block is fitted with a shorting link between the two pins. This must be removed
and an appropriate termination made, see below:
Failure to utilise this interlock may result in the RGA being exposed to tool pressures outside its working
range which could severely damage the RGA.
This is a control signal which must come from the process tool to indicate that the pressure is low enough to
open the process valve on the Vision 2000-P. The precise value will depend on the configuration of the Vision
2000-P inlet, please refer to the shipment report for the maximum process pressure.
The Vision 2000-P has been configured to connect to a no-volts relay contact, when the contact is closed the
pressure is OK.
PC Connection
Vision 2000-P systems are used in conjunction with MKS Instruments Process Eye Professional software
running on a PC. If a PC has been supplied as part of the system, the software will have been installed onto the
hard drive and will have been fully tested as part of the complete system.
There is one Ethernet connector at the rack-end of the loom into which you should connect, via an STP patch
lead to the Ethernet Port of the host PC.
The PC, its monitor and any accessories (e.g., printer) will need their own mains power supply connection.
These are not provided directly from the Vision P system.
If you are supplying your own PC, install Process Eye Professional by following the instructions in the relevant
manual(s).
You are now ready to power up the system. Please read the next section of this manual before you do.
