Vaisala viewLinc Enterprise Server software allows you to network several types of Vaisala data loggers or Modbus devices, using a combination of wired and wireless connections. It supports small installations of one or two measurement points or large systems that monitor thousands of locations. Designed for regulated and critical environmental monitoring, viewLinc ensures data integrity with a secure audit trail, access controls, encryption, and authorization levels that fulfill regulatory requirements.

Continuous Reliability

viewLinc runs as a Microsoft® Windows® service. If you are required to reboot your server, the viewLinc service restarts automatically. Users log in to viewLinc on any network computer or mobile device with a supported browser and can display viewLinc in several languages: English, German, French, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, Finnish, Chinese, and Japanese. viewLinc supports UTF-8 compliant multi-byte character sets.

Licensing

A license key is required for each viewLinc Enterprise Server or Device Host installation (the number of devices permitted is defined by the license key). Obtain additional licenses to enable voice or SMS web notifications, to integrate with Vaisala OPC UA Server or the viewLinc REST API, or to add third-party Modbus devices.

Upgrading

Previous versions of viewLinc, 3.6.1, and higher can upgrade to 5.1 directly. Depending on the server/database size, upgrade may take a few minutes or several hours (4 to 6).

  • A dedicated server continuously available 24/7 to run viewLinc Enterprise Server software.
  • One or more Vaisala data loggers, Vaisala wireless data loggers, or Vaisala HMT300 series transmitters.
  • Vaisala cables, for connecting data loggers and setting up wireless transmitters.

Optional requirements

  • Vaisala or third-party Modbus-enabled devices
  • A dedicated or shared server to manage devices at multiple sites (running viewLinc Device Host software).
  • Remote display terminals to monitor sites without user PCs.
  • vNet, single or multi-port devices, to connect data loggers, transmitters, or probes through Ethernet.
  • Voice/SMS web service provider account (Twilio). Voice call delivery requires an Internet-accessible port (service limited in some regions).

HMT140 series Connects using Wi-Fi protocol. Requires
configuration with an HMT140 configuration
cable.
300-series transmitter Connects using WLAN or LAN interface.
1) VaiNet devices not available in all regions.
Wired Device Connectivity
DL series using vNet device vNet Power-over-Ethernet devices are 802.3af compliant and work with both end-point and mid-span systems. viewLinc Aware automatically detects and configures vNet devices. 1) Requires vNet device drivers (provided).
DL series using single or
multi-port Ethernet device		 Ethernet connectivity devices must be configured with static or reserved IP addresses. If the devices are being installed on different subnets, they need to be configured before being installed. Ethernet device drivers must be installed on each server used to connect Vaisala devices.
DL series using USB cable Connect devices directly to viewLinc Device Hosts using a USB-to-logger cable. Requires USB ports.
Modbus devices (RTU or
TCP)		 Connect devices directly to viewLinc Device Hosts using a USB-to-device cable (TCP) or Ethernet-to-serial device drivers and serial connector cables. RTU devices require serial COM ports. TCP devices require a static IP address.
Signal tower (light and/or
buzzer)		 Connect devices according to manufacturer directions. Preconfigured device settings are selectable in viewLinc.
1) vNet devices maintain a low power rating by operating at a network speed of 10 Mbps. To ensure your network devices can operate at different speeds, set the network speed for the connected vNet port (see vNet User Guide).
