Add-Ons
Use the powerful add-on features to be able to implement special requirements and use cases.
You can use the add-ons with all three plans.
Get to know all the features of VergeLink
in the free live demo.
Learn how VergeLink can help you create a stronger impact
and whether VergeLink meets your needs.
Your own edge device or VergeLink gateway boxes?
Learn more about the options.
1. What is included in the Free Trial?
VergeLink can be tested free of charge for 30 days.
The software contains the full range of functions of the Professional plan.
If you do not have any field devices (PLCs, frequency converters, sensors, energy meters, etc.) available at the moment, you can simulate corresponding data sources in the Free Trial.
If you do not have any edge devices (gateway or IPC) at hand, you can simulate corresponding devices in VergeLink or request a test kit from us via the contact form.
2. I would like to test VergeLink, but I do not have suitable hardware at hand. What can I do?
If you do not have any edge devices (gateway or IPC) at hand, you can simulate corresponding devices in VergeLink or request a test kit from us via the contact form.
Alternatively, you can use your own hardware by installing VergeLink as a Docker container or Debian package, for example. You can find more information in the documentation of VergeLink.
3. I would like to test VergeLink on my own hardware. Is that possible?
You can test VergeLink on your own hardware by installing VergeLink as a Docker container or Debian package, for example. For more information, see the VergeLink documentation.
4. how much does the hardware cost?
VergeLink is hardware agnostic. You can either use your own gateways or IPCs, or purchase some from VergeLink. More info can be found on our hardware page.
5. I am from manufacturing and would like to connect our production. How does the licensing model work here?
The functions of VergeLink are geared towards mechanical engineering.
However, VergeLink can also make sense for manufacturing companies if:
-Centralized configuration management via the cloud is desired (useful for multi-site operations, among others).
-A solution is sought for connecting IoT data that is as simple and managed as possible
-The supported protocols (hyperlink to connectivity portfolio here) are sufficient for the machines to be connected.
-All machines that are to be connected but whose protocols are not supported can be connected via external sensors (secondary sensing, e.g. via IO-Link).
Note: VergeLink does not offer consulting in the sense of a connectivity audit for manufacturing companies. From a consulting requirement of 5 person days, this can be obtained as a service from our partners.
Should these use cases come into question for you, then the following applies:
You always need a Lizenzpro machine – even if you connect several machines via an edge device.
A machine can in turn consist of several data sources (for example, a PLC and an IO-Link master with several sensors).
6. I would like to connect systems with several controllers. How many licenses do I need for this?
You always need a license for one machine – even if you connect several machines via an edge device.
It therefore depends on how many machines your plant consists of.
In turn, a machine can consist of several data sources (for example, a PLC and an IO-Link master with several sensors).
7. what payment options are accepted? Can I be invoiced?
Payment by invoice, credit card, SEPA mandate and giropay.
8. I would like to connect additional machines. How will this be billed?
You can manage the number of your VergeLink licenses yourself.
If you increase the number of licenses during the term, only the pro-rated amount will be billed until the next billing period.
