VCOM

You can sync one blue'Log with a single VCOM system. The following graphic provides an overview of the functions under Plant > VCOM.

Note: in VCOM and blue'Log, the terms plant and system have the same meaning.

Item	Name	Details
1	Plant name	Your VCOM system's name is automatically retrieved upon connection and can only be changed within VCOM.
2	Plant key	Enter the 5-digit VCOM system ID. In VCOM, this is located under the System administration > System > Technical data > System ID.
3	Cancel registration	Disconnect your blue'Log from VCOM. Example: You want to switch VCOM systems, or your blue'Log is defective and must be replaced. Note that if your blue'Log is currently offline, it will automatically disconnect from VCOM once it is back online.
4	Check connection	Verify VCOM accessibility
5	Transmission interval	Choose data transmission frequency: 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 1 hour, or disable transmission.
6	Historical data	If data is missing in VCOM, specify the relevant dates here. Example: You install a blue'Log in your system, activate VCOM 6 months later, and want to retrieve the data from the past 6 months.
7	Initiate resend	Retrieve historical data after setting the desired dates
8	Remote device access	You can access the user interface of some devices with their own web-based user interface via the blue'Log. See Connect to a remote device in VCOM.
