About
| Benderlink for Pines is software that connects PINES TS-2000 controls with Eaton Leonard Vector Laservision measuring centers. It essentially makes a TS-2000 control appear to be an Eaton Leonard PREMIER control to a Vector Laservision measuring center. |
|
TS-2000 Control to Vector 1 Laservision
|
The software installs directly on the operator station of the Pines TS-2000 controls. It is designed to interact directly with the control. The designer of the TS-2000 included a "Laservision" button that loads and calls to Benderlink for Pines. The protocol used is the Velog/El-2000/Premier protocol - so the software is compatible with Eaton Leonard Vector Laservision out of the box. |

|
Benderlink Ethernet Module for PINES
| The software uses the Benderlink Ethernet Module for PINES to Vector to connect to any Vector. | 
|
Version 2.0 - Plug-And-Play Compatible with Vector Laservision
| Version 2 is designed to communicate using the standard Eaton Leonard Velog, EL-2000, and Premier protocol. This protocol is available on every Eaton Leonard measuring center.
|
|
Version 1.0 (Retired)
| Version 1 of Benderlink for Pines communicated with Laservisions using the ATT protocol. The ATT protocol was a special protocol that required customers to purchase and install an upgrade to the Vector Laservision. Eaton Leonard referred to this as a "Competitive Bender Interface" because it was designed to grant competitors the right to use the measuring center through license charges.
