Control Accessories
RTCNet Modules—Optionally users can apply Woodward distributed I/O modules to extend the Vertex controller’s input and output channels
Vibration Sensor Kit—Optionally users can apply 4-20mA accelerometer sensors with the Vertex to monitor unit vibration levels and alarm & trip on high vibration events. Refer to product manual for related kit part numbers
RemoteView—Woodward’s RemoteView software program once installed on a computer or touch panel can be used as an engineering workstation and or remote operator control panel.
Stored Trend/Log File Service Tool – Woodward’s Control Assistant software service tool can be used to view real-time trends, saved trend files, upload and download Vertex control’s configuration files and alarm/trip logs
