various expansion stages and their range of functions is enabled using licence codes. The system centres
include the following models: VSC 5010 / VSC 5110 / VSC 5410 / VSC 5510; see chapter Tasks and functions
for details about the functions. The system centre is the centre of the E*LDS system and is used for central
parametrisation, configuration, display of operating data, messages and alarms of all E*LDS system
components. It can be operated via the touch display and/or remotely via a central computer or service PC on
site via a browser using the Virtus Control Desk (VCD) or the LDSWin PC software, for details see; for details
see Operation and access to the system centre. The data for all connected E*LDS system components are
exchanged via the CAN bus. Alarms and messages of E*LDS system components and the inclusion of external
alarms from the installation and their retransmission by LAN, GSM modem or SMS can be realised.
The system centre is equipped with internal storage for data archiving of operating data and states, alarms and
messages, energy data or for logging of temperature and EU archives (HACCP). Furthermore, the system
centre has extensive wiring options and interfaces; see chapter Connections in the complete design for details
of these.
Optionally, up to maximum 4 extension modules (SIOX = Serial IO Extension) can be connected so that an
additional 32 relay outputs and 48 digital inputs are available.
