VP8002 vs. VP8001 - Control units in comparison
Please note
The VP8002 control unit is the successor of the VP8001 control unit. Both
control units are almost identical in design and function.
For this reason, the information on the VP8001 control unit in additional
instructions also applies to the VP8002 control unit!
Differences to the VP8001 control unit are explicitly outlined in these
instructions.
Control unit - VP8002
The VP8002 is a universally configurable
control unit.
Functions
● Control of connected systems
● Analysis of animal data and its internal
storage
● Warning messages
VP8002
Features
● The control unit has an internal memory and works independently (independent
of a PC)
● Data backup in the event of a power failure
In the event of a power failure, the built-in capacitor briefly bridges the power
supply. In the event of a longer power failure (approx. 15 seconds), the data is
saved and the control unit is shut down.
● Access to the user interface of the control unit via internet browser,
e.g. from various devices (PC, tablet, ...).
● Simultaneous login of multiple users.
The control unit in the network
● Communication with peripheral devices via CAN bus and ethernet.
Ethernet:
- LAN 1: Communication with the DPNet network, or an external network (e.g.
internet)
- LAN 2: Communication with the internal network for Velos devices
- e.g. VP4102
- Connection only on the VP8002 control unit.
CAN bus:
- Connection of Velos devices with the CAN bus
(e.g. for VP1004 transceivers)
● When used with a herd management system, the control unit uses the animal
and farm data managed there.
