Communications interface

RS-232 serial port

Using Philips
IntelliBridge or

B-2
The ventilator can exchange digital data through the 25-pin D-sub RS-232
connector on the rear panel. The RS-232 port permits the ventilator to
send data to a patient monitor or a hospital information system.

Supported communication protocols

The ventilator supports the following communication protocols:
• Philips IntelliBridge (VueLink): Use for connecting to Philips monitors
(see "Using Philips IntelliBridge or VueLink" on page B-2).
• PVOI (Philips Ventilator Open Interface): Use for interfacing with non-
Phillips monitors or devices. Contact your Philips representative to
obtain the PVOI Developer's Guide.
• Legacy (VRPT/SNDA): Fixed text-based protocol (not to be used for
developing new driver interfaces). For this protocol specification, refer
to the V60 Communications interface VRPT / SNDA Developers Guide
(1147828MC), available at www.philips.com/IFU.

Using Philips monitors and the IntelliBridge or VueLink Open Interfaces

NOTE: Data displayed on the IntelliBridge or VueLink systems is for
reference purposes only. Decisions for patient care should not be
based solely on the data obtained through the IntelliBridge system.
The Respironics V60/V60 Plus Ventilator can communicate with a Philips
patient monitor using the IntelliBridge Open Interface or the VueLink Open
Interface.* Figure B-3 shows the required hardware setup. The IntelliBridge
Open Interface and the VueLink Open Interface require a ventilator baud rate
of 19,200. Check for the correct baud rate in the ventilator diagnostic mode
(see "Baud Rate" on page E-10).
*NOTE: VueLink has been discontinued, but is still supported. Information is
included for backwards compatibility only. The IntelliBridge EC10 is the
VueLink Interface module successor.
