GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Data Station Plus was designed to act as a nexus for industrial data

collection and management. The unit offers multiple protocol conversion, data

logging and remote machine access. With three built in serial ports and a 10

Base-T/100 Base-TX Ethernet port, the unit performs protocol conversion,

allowing disparate devices to communicate seamlessly with one another. The

Ethernet port supports up to four protocols simultaneously so even Ethernet to

Ethernet protocols can be converted.

The CompactFlash card allows data to be collected and stored for later

review. The files are stored in simple CSV file format allowing common

applications, such as Microsoft Excel and Access, to view and manage the data.

The free Websync utility provides a means to synchronize the files with a PC’s

hard drive for permanent storage. The CompactFlash card may also be used to

load new configuration files into the Data Station.

The built-in web server allows log files to be retrieved manually, and also

provides access to the unique “virtual HMI”. The virtual HMI is programmed

just like Red Lion’s G3 series of HMI. Any standard web browser such as

Internet Explorer or Netscape may be used to monitor or control the HMI from

a PC anywhere in the world.

The USB port may be used for blazing fast file downloads, or to mount the

Data Station’s CompactFlash card as an external drive to your PC.

The Data Station’s DIN rail mounting saves time and panel space and snaps

easily onto standard top hat (T) profile DIN rail.

SOFTWARE

The Data Station is programmed with Crimson

2.0 software for Windows

2000 or later platforms. The software is an easy to use graphical interface which

can be purchased as part of a kit that includes a manual and cables, or

downloaded free of charge from www.redlion.net.

SAFETY SUMMARY

All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in the

manual or on equipment must be observed to ensure personal safety and to

prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment connected to it. If

equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection

provided by the equipment may be impaired.

Do not use the controller to directly command motors, valves, or other

actuators not equipped with safeguards. To do so can be potentially harmful to

persons or equipment in the event of a fault to the controller. An independent

and redundant temperature limit indicator with alarm outputs is strongly

recommended.
