External Device I/O Terminals
You can use Input/Output external devices together with the Multi-Termin\
al Module VB-EX50.
External Device Input Terminals (IN+, IN–)
The external device input terminals consist of 2 terminals (IN+, IN-). The ‘–’ terminal is grounded
on the inside of the main unit. By connecting 2 cables to the + and ‘\
–’ terminals and then electrically
short-circuiting across the terminals (ON) or separating the connectio\
n (OFF), an interrupt can be
generated for the internal controller. See “Schedule Setting Tool”\
 in Chapter 4 “VB Administration
Tools” ( → P.4-22) for information on the settings.
Connect any sensors and switches to terminals with electrically separate\
 GND terminals and
power supplies.
External Device Output Terminals (OUT A, OUT B, OUT C)
The external device output terminals consist of 3 terminals (OUT A, OUT\
 B, OUT C). There is no
distinction between “+” and “–” with OUT A, OUT B and OUT\
 C. The Internal controller switches
the 2 output terminals to disconnected or connected condition. The outpu\
t terminals use photo
couplers and are separate from the internal circuit in the VB-C50FSi/VB-\
C50Fi.
* External input status can be checked and external output status can be c\
ontrolled using Admin Viewer
(→  P.4-62).
Loads connected to the output terminals should be within the following r\
atings:
Rating across the output terminals: Up to 50 V DC Continuous load current: 100 mA or less

Tip
You need the Multi-Terminal Module VB-EX50 ( → P.1-11) to set input/output external
device.

Note
●Install the Viewer for PC from the “VBToolsInstall.exe” file on th\
e supplied CD-
ROM ( → P.2-13).
● The User’s Manual for the viewer software is provided on the supplied\
 CD-ROM
(Viewer-E.pdf).
● To connect the VB-C50FSi/VB-C50Fi to the Internet, you require a leased \
line connection
to an Internet service provider or a LAN-type dial-up IP connection. If \
you are using a
LAN-type dial-up connection, check that the connection supports bidirect\
ional calling.
System Configuration
This system configuration consists of the VB-C50FSi/VB-C50Fi with  Viewer Software (→  P.1-4).
The Viewer Software consists of the  Viewer for PC and the Viewer for Java .
Viewer for PC must be installed in advance from the supplied CD-ROM. To \
use the Viewer for
Java, you need to install Java VM beforehand.
Viewer Software Functions
Viewer for Java
• Videos from the VB-C50FSi/VB-C50Fi can be displayed by a Web browser tha\
t
can run Java applet.
To use the Viewer for Java, you need to install Java VM beforehand.
• Because the Viewer for Java is automatically downloaded and does not nee\
d to be
pre-installed, unlike the Viewer for PC, it is compatible with any platf\
orm that supports
Java-capable environments.
• Because it uses the HTTP protocol, the Viewer for Java penetrates firewa\
lls.
However, it may not run stably on some platforms or browser types.
Also, because the Viewer is downloaded when the Web page loads, start-up\
 times and
execution speeds are slower than the Viewer for PC.
Viewer for PC •
An application for viewing videos from the VB-C50FSi/VB-C50Fi that is la\
unched from
a Web browser.
• The Viewer for PC must be pre-installed.
• Install Viewer for PC from the supplied CD-ROM.
•Compared with the Viewer for Java, start-up is faster because the Viewer\
 does not need
to be downloaded. This Viewer is recommended for users who use the viewe\
r frequently.
• Because it supports the HTTP protocol, the Viewer for PC penetrates fire\
walls unscathed.

Sample Network Configurations
This section describes some typical installation modes for the VB-C50FSi\
/VB-C50Fi.
Be sure to assign an IP address to the VB-C50FSi/VB-C50Fi that matches y\
our environment.
This example shows the VB-C50FSi/VB-C50Fi connected to a LAN by Ethernet\
. In this
configuration, videos can be seen by viewers in the same Ethernet segmen\
t as the VB-C50FSi/
VB-C50Fi and by viewers with access to that segment.
Sample Configuration in an ISP Environment
This example shows an environment in which the VB-C50FSi/VB-C50Fi is con\
nected to an ISP
(Internet service provider). In this configuration, videos can be seen\
 by viewers capable of accessing
the ISP.
Bidirectional communication is required between the VB-C50FSi/VB-C50Fi a\
nd the ISP, and a
fixed IP address must be set for the VB-C50FSi/VB-C50Fi (→ P.5-26).
