The Vaisala viewLinc monitoring system includes the viewLinc Enterprise Server software and monitoring devices that provide alarms, real-time development and customizable reporting. It integrates various Vaisala data loggers and transmitters for monitoring temperature, relative humidity, CO₂ and more, and is suitable for light and heavy industry and GxP-regulated applications. The system is scalable from a few measurement points to thousands of areas and supports eleven language versions, ideal for global locations. The viewLinc Enterprise Server enables easy networking of the data loggers through Ethernet, PoE, WLAN and VaiNet wireless technology.

 

The Vaisala viewLinc monitoring system offers:

  • Real-time monitoring and alarming with customizable reporting
  • Continuous monitoring even in the event of power and network failures
  • Easy network connection via Ethernet, WLAN or Vaisala's proprietary VaiNet wireless technology
  • Optional on-site installation/validation services for easy and compliant commissioning
  • User-friendly software with instructions and embedded help via display
  • Alarm notifications via email, SMS, voice call, light and sound signals
  • Monitoring data can be shared with other systems via OPC UA and API
  • Integrate parameters with Modbus and analog devices without limits

System features

► Guaranteed data integrity

viewLinc has several features for data integrity. These include immutable data, audit trails, system access controls, authorization levels that meet regulatory requirements for separation of rights, device checks that verify the origin of the data, and validation alarms to ensure data validity.
 

► Real-time data evolution

Users have the option to view real-time evolution and a graphical overview of the controlled areas to monitor all measurement points from a central user interface. In addition, you can use the dashboard to perform a detailed query of all monitored points and view the data trend for any desired period.
 

► Complete data backup

Data from several months can be saved in the memory of each data logger. Automatic data backup to the server and client PCs ensures seamless data recording in the event of network or power outages.

► Flexible alarming

Remote and on-site alerts for out-of-tolerance conditions are sent via email, SMS, voice call, light and sound signals. Alarms can be confirmed on mobile phones via voice call, SMS and email.

 

► Automated reporting

Create custom reports as needed. Regularly generated reports can be automatically generated and sent via email according to a predefined schedule.

 

► Browser-based access

No software needs to be installed on client PCs.

 

► Global system environment management

Run installations worldwide from a single server and manage them regardless of location. Users can use viewLinc in a language of their choice and in their local time.


VaiNet technology is the proprietary wireless connection option of the viewLinc Monitoring System

VaiNet operates independently of other wireless devices and networks, so no separate Ethernet connection is required. Each VaiNet AP10 access point supports up to 32 RFL series wireless data loggers, which are ideal for high-traffic and hard-to-reach areas and can be easily relocated. Once powered on, VaiNet data loggers automatically connect to viewLinc software, simplifying installation and implementation without the need for prior knowledge. RFL data loggers are available as temperature and humidity data loggers, temperature-only data loggers with up to two channels, and CO2 data loggers for incubators.

Features and Benefits:

  • Interference-free transmission over long distances in enclosed spaces, superior signal range of ≥ 100 m
  • Proprietary network that maintains integrity when operating alongside other wireless devices and networks
  • After a fault, self-recovery of the connection between device and software with automatic recovery and data restoration
  • Excellent signal strength and penetration - no repeaters or signal amplifiers required
  • Secure standalone parallel operation with other wireless devices and systems
  • ISM radio frequencies (Industrial, Scientific and Medical; 868, 915 or 920 MHz, depending on region), which remove the signal load of monitoring devices from other existing networks
  • RFL Series data loggers are available in the following models: temperature and humidity data loggers, temperature only data loggers and CO2 data loggers
  • Easy setup with quick configuration of the data loggers; no experience in network administration required
