The SIP hardware platform is a fully functional embedded PC with Ethernet and serial ports, which, coupled with large memory and low price makes it the ideal interface platform.

For Trend Compatible interfaces, Virtual IQ (vIQ) software is incorporated that enables the SIP to sit straight onto the Trend IQ3 Ethernet network. Each 3rd party device can be presented as if it were a Trend controller. Additionally, each value transferred is provided as a standard Trend module - sensor, knob, switch and digital input and have the full complement of functionality such as labels, alarms and plots.

• Reduces hardware cost.
• Easy to configure.
• Reduces engineering time/cost both at the interface and at the front end.
• Simplifies interfacing.
• Increased memory means more points per device than ever before, which in turn means you do not have to get the definitive point list from the customer.

Easy to configure in 3 easy stages

1 Connect to SIP via internet

2 Configure 3rd party devices & map points

3 Configure vIQs as Trend Modules
