7.2. Vgraph
7.2.1. Introduction
Vgraph is a new and innovative user interface for the programmable controllers of the family c-pro 3.
The main features of the interface are the possibility to communicate to the user a great deal of information and the remarkable ease of
control; these features are due to the use of a 128 x 64 pixel single colour LCD graphic display (black with rearlighting through white
LEDs), to the 6 buttons (with preset functions) membrane keyboard and to the CAN bus (for the connection to the controllers).
This last also allows the use of the interface in multimaster networks.
Thanks to its constructive features, Vgraph offers several mounting typologies; this is possible:
- by panel, at the front of units, of machines for refrigeration or for air conditioning, of electrical panels and as well as in all those
applications where a frontal protection degree IP65 is required
- built-in by wall, in traditional box (like "506" by BTicino)
- by wall, on the support CPVW00 by EVCO (to order separately).
Also the necessity to customize the interface, in order to integrate it aesthetically in residential and commercial environments, is
satisfied by Vgraph since at the front of the interface one can apply both the plates CPVP* by EVCO (to order separately, made in
plastic material and available in two different colorations, white and black) and the numerous plates series "Living" and "Light" by
BTicino.
Vgraph also has got:
- real time clock
- alarm buzzer.
For further information consult the Hardware manual of Vgraph.

Vtouch is a new and innovative user interface for the programmable controllers of the family c-pro 3.
The main features of the interface are the possibility to communicate to the user a great deal of information and the remarkable ease of
control; these features are due to the use of a 240 x 140 pixel single colour touch-screen LCD graphic display (black with rearlighting
through white LEDs), to the 6 buttons (with preset functions) membrane keyboard and to the CAN bus (for the connection to the
controllers).
This last also allows the use of the interface in multimaster networks.
Thanks to its constructive features, Vtouch offers several mounting typologies; this is possible:

Vroom is a new and innovative user interface for the programmable controllers of the family c-pro 3.
The main features of the interface are the possibility to communicate to the user a great deal of information and the remarkable ease of
control; these features are due to the use of a 128 x 64 pixel single colour LCD graphic display (black with rearlighting through white
LEDs), to the 6 buttons (with preset functions) membrane keyboard and to the CAN bus (for the connection to the controllers).
This last also allows the use of the interface in multimaster networks.
The user interface incorporates a temperature sensor or a temperature and humidity one; the values read by these sensors are
transmitted via CAN bus, making easier the wiring.
Thanks to its constructive features, Vroom offers several mounting typologies; this is possible:
- by panel, at the front of units, of machines for refrigeration or for air conditioning, of electrical panels and as well as in all those
applications where a frontal protection degree IP65 is required
- built-in by wall, in traditional box (like "506" by BTicino)
