Product Highlights
Overview
The Ultimate RTU with the Power of Completely Open LINUX Software
Though it is built-on the open LINUX operating system, no knowledge of LINUX is required in most applications. Get all the benefits of open LINUX
with no extra effort. The VersaTRAK IPm is 100% compatible with Sixnet's legacy VersaTRAK RTU. All existing ISaGRAF user programs will load
and run in an IPm without any changes.

Usage Tips
Selecting the 512K or 2 Megabyte Memory Option
512K of datalogging memory can store up to 250,000 analog values
2 Megabytes of datalogging memory can store up to 1,000,000 analog values
How Much Datalogged Information Can be Stored?
Each Sixlog file is allocated a fixed amount of memory. Each record typically contains a time stamp (4 bytes), analog values (2 bytes each), and
discrete values (8 per byte). The size of the record is automatically computed and displayed for you by the Sixlog software. The overall storage time
(until the oldest data in a full file is overwritten by new data) is computed as:
Longest storage = (file size) x (capture interval) / (bytes per record)
Example:
16 analog values plus a time stamp are logged every 5 minutes into a 512K file.
Oldest data = 512,000 (approx) x 5 minutes / 36 bytes /record = 71,111 Minutes (49 days)
By default, the VT-IPM-1410 has more than 400K for datalogging and the VT-IPM-2410 has more than 1.9 Megabytes.
Adding I/O modules to a VersaTRAK IPm
Any combination of SixTRAK, EtherTRAK and RemoteTRAK I/O modules can be connected to a VersaTRAK IPm. A single VersaTRAK IPm supports
up to 1,024 SixTRAK I/O and will interface with up to approximately 50,000 EtherTRAK and/or RemoteTRAK I/O.
Why VersaTRAK IPm Instead of other Sixnet Controllers?
VersaTRAK IPm offers more communication ports (RS232 and Ethernet) than are available on other Sixnet gateways and RTUs.
The embedded LINUX operating system in the VersaTRAK IPm offers greater programming flexibility and performance.
