GENERALDESCRIPTION

The CR3000 is the perfect solution for applications that require the
operator to monitor and control more than just a single device. With up to
four serial ports and two Ethernet ports, these HMI displays can connect
to multiple serial and Ethernet devices simultaneously, including PLCs,
motor drives, bar code scanners, etc.

The CR3000 performs the functions of a multiple protocol converter,
using up to four high-speed serial communications ports and one or two
10/100 Base-TX Ethernet ports. Ethernet port(s) support up to ten
protocols simultaneously, allowing dissimilar Ethernet based products to
communicate with one another. The SD card slot can be used to collect
your trending and datalogging information as well as load the unit's
configuration file, allowing configuration changes to be made and saved
to the card for later transfer.

The CR3000 range of HMIs is programmed with Red Lion's Crimson

3.1 software. Crimson offers easy to use drag and drop communications
configuration, while the embedded image library allows
to create intuitive screens and prompts for the operator. The Crimson
software is available as a no charge download from Red Lion’s website.

MOUNTINGINSTRUCTIONS

This operator interface is designed for through-panel mounting. The
panel can be VESA mounted with the addition of a VESA mount adapter
plate. This plate allows mounting to a standard 75 x 75 mm VESA bracket.
The mounting surface should have a minimum thickness of 0.06" (1.53
mm)

and maximum thickness
per the dimensions shown in the diagram. Care should be taken to
remove any loose material from the mounting cut-out to prevent that
material from falling into the operator interface during installati

Cau

tion: Only the screws provided with the VESA adapter plate should be
used to mount the CR3000. Unit cannot be VESA mounted if an
expansion module will be used.

For hazardous location installation the following shall be taken into

consideration:

- T

his device is open-type and must be mounted in a suitable dust-tight
end-enclosure in accordance with articles 500 and 502 of the NEC
and positioned so only the face of the display is exposed.

- Must be wired using Division 2 wiring methods as specified in article
501-4(b), 502-4(b), and 503-3(b) of the National Electric Code, NFPA
70 for installation within the United States, or as specified in section
19-152 of Canadian Electrical Code for installation in Canada.

- Combinations of equipment in your system are subject to investigation
by the local Authority having jurisdiction at the time of installation.

Drawing No. LP1042

CONNECTING POWER

The CR3000 requires a 10-30 VDC
power supply. A pluggable power block is
provided to connect the 24 VDC. There are
three screw terminals. Strip and connect
the wire according to the terminal block
specifications on Page 2. Connect the
positive lead to the plus (+) screw and the
negative lead to the minus (-) screw.

Please take care to observe the following points:

Mount the power supply close to the unit, with usually not more than

–

6 feet (1.8 m) of cable between the supply and the operator
interface. Ideally, the shortest length possible should be used.

–

The wire used to connect the operator interface’s power supply
should be at least 22-gage wire suitably rated for the temperatures
of the environment to which it is being installed. If a longer cable run
is used, a heavier gage wire should be used. The routing of the
cable should be kept away from large contactors, inverters, and
other devices which may generate significant electrical noise.

– A power supply with an NEC Class 2 or Limited Power Source (LPS)

and SELV rating is to be used. This type of power supply provides
isolation to accessible circuits from hazardous voltage levels generated
by a mains power supply due to single faults. SELV is an acronym for
“safety extra-low voltage.” Safety extra-low voltage circuits shall exhibit
voltages safe to touch both under normal operating conditions and after
a single fault, such as a breakdown of a layer of basic insulation or after
the failure of a single component has occurred. A suitable disconnect
device shall be provided by the end user.

CONNECTING TO EARTH GROUND

Each operator panel has a chassis ground terminal on the back of the
unit. Your unit should be connected to earth ground. Steps should be
taken beyond connecting to earth ground to eliminate the buildup of
electrostatic charges.

The chassis ground is not connected to signal common of the unit.
Maintaining isolation between earth ground and signal common is not
required to operate your unit. But, other equipment connected to this unit
may require isolation between signal common and earth ground. To

maintain isolation between signal common and earth ground care must
be taken when connections are made to the unit. For example, a power

supply with isolation between its signal common and earth ground must
be used. Also, plugging in a USB cable may connect signal common and
earth ground.

USB’s shield may be connected to earth ground at the host. USB’s

shield in turn may also be connected to signal common.

EMCINSTALLATIONGUIDELINES

Although Red Lion Controls products are designed with a high degree
of immunity to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), proper installation and
wiring methods must be followed to ensure compatibility in each
application. The type of the electrical noise, source or coupling method
into a unit may be different for various installations. Cable length, routing,
and shield termination are very important and can mean the difference
between a successful or troublesome installation. Listed are some EMI
guidelines for a successful installation in an industrial environment.

1. A unit should be mounted in a metal enclosure, which is properly

connected to protective earth.

2. Use shielded cables for all Signal and Control inputs. The shield

connection should be made as short as possible. The connection point

for the shield depends somewhat upon the application. Listed below

are the recommended methods of connecting the shield, in order of

their effectiveness.

a.

Connect the shield to earth ground (protective earth) at one end

where the unit is mounted.

nect the shield to earth ground at both ends of the cable, usually

b. Con

when the noise source frequency is over 1 MHz.

3.

Never run Signal or Control cables in the same conduit or raceway with

AC power lines, conductors, feeding motors, solenoids, SCR controls,

and heaters, etc. The cables should be run through metal conduit that

is properly grounded. This is especially useful in applications where

cable runs are long and portable two-way radios are used in close

proximity or if the installation is near a commercial radio transmitter.

Also, Signal or Control cables within an enclosure should be routed as

far away as possible from contactors, control relays, transformers, and

other

noisy components.

4. Long cable runs are more susceptible to EMI pickup than short cable runs.

5. In extremely high EMI environments, the use of external EMI

suppression devices such as Ferrite Suppression Cores for signal and

control cables is effective. The following EMI suppression devices (or

equivalent) are recommended:

Fair-Rite part number 0443167251 (Red Lion Controls #FCOR0000)
Line Filters for input power cables:
Schaffner # FN2010-1/07 (Red Lion Controls #LFIL0000)

6.

To protect relay contacts that control inductive loads and to minimize

radiated and conducted noise (EMI), some type of contact protection

network is normally installed across the load, the contacts or both. The

most effective location is across the load.

a. Usin

g a snubber, which is a resistor-capacitor (RC) network or metal
oxide varistor (MOV) across an AC inductive load is very effective at
reducing EMI and increasing relay contact life.

b. If a DC inductive load

transistor switch, care must be taken not to exceed the breakdown
voltage of the transistor when the load is switched. One of the most
effective ways is to place a diode across the inductive load. Most
Red Lion products with solid state outputs have internal zener diode
protection. However external diode protection at the load is always a
good design practice to limit EMI. Although the use of a snubber or
varistor could be used.

CONFIGURINGACR3000

The CR3000 is configured using Crimson® 3.1 software. Crimson is
available as a no charge download from Red Lion’s website. Crimson
updates for new features and drivers are posted on the website as they
become available. By configuring the CR3000 using the latest Crimson
version, you are assured that your unit has the most up to date feature
set. Crimson software can configure the CR3000 through the RS232
PGM port, USB port, ethernet port or SD card.

The CR3000 has three or four serial ports, a USB device port, one or
two USB Host ports, and an Ethernet port as shown below.

The serial ports are available via RJ connectors. There are two RS232
ports. The port labeled RS232 (PGM) can be used as a Programming
Port or you can assign a protocol to it. The RS485 ports can be used for
both RS485 or 422 communications. All of the serial ports are isolated.

Note: If you assign a protocol to the Programming Port, you will no

longer be able to download to that port. You should create a means
to call the StopSystem() function from the HMI touchscreen, such
that the Programming Port activity can be halted on command.
Alternatively, the HMI's memory can be cleared to restore download
functionality.

Ethernet port(s) can be programmed to communicate via ten protocols
simultaneously. For more information on protocol support, please refer to
the Crimson 3.1 programming software.

The USB device port is a standard device port with a Type B connector,
and is used as the programming port. The driver needed to use the USB
port will be installed with

The USB host port(s) are standard host ports with Type A connector(s)
and can be used to interface to USB enabled peripherals. These ports
supply 5 V power per the USB standard.

The SD card can be used to program a CR3000 by placing an image
file on the SD card. The card is then inserted into the target CR3000 and
powered. Refer to the Crimson literature for more information on the
proper names and locations of this file.

Crimson.

USB,DA TATRANSFERSFROMTHESDCARD

In order to transfer data from the SD card via the USB port, a driver
must be installed on your computer. This driver is installed with Crimson
and is located in the folder C:\Program Files\Red Lion Controls\Crimson

3.1\Device\ after Crimson is installed. This may have already been
accomplished if your CR3000 was configured using the USB port.

Once the driver is installed, connect the CR3000 to your PC with a
USB cable, and follow “Mounting the SD” instructions in the Crimson 3.1
user manual.

INSERTION/REMOVALOFTHESDCARD

Insert the SD card into the slot provided with the card oriented as shown.
The card is inserted properly when the end of the card is flush with the
CR3000 case. To remove the SD card, push in slightly on the card.

CABLESANDDRIVERS

Red Lion has a wide range of cables and drivers for use with many
different communication types. A list of these drivers and cables along
with pin outs is available from Red Lion’s website. New cables and
drivers are added on a regular basis. If making your own cable, refer to
the “Port Pin Outs” that corresponds to your specific model for wiring
information.

ETHERNETCOMMUNICATIONS

Ethernet communications can be established at either 10 BASE-T or
100 BASE-TX. The unit’s RJ45 jack is wired as a NIC (Network Interface
Card). It auto-detects remote transmit and receive pairs and correctly
assigns the transmit and receive pairs. This feature enables the user to
use whichever type of cable (cross-over or straight) is available.

The Ethernet connector contains two LEDs that represent the following
statuses:

SOFTWARE/UNITOPERATION

CRIMSON®SOFTWA RE

Crimson software is available as a no charge download from Red
Lion’s website. The latest version of the software is always available from
the website, and updating your copy is free.

DISPLAY

This operator interface uses a liquid crystal display (LCD) for
displaying text and graphics. The display utilizes an LED backlight for
lighting the display. The backlight can be dimmed for low light conditions.

The LED backlight has a limited lifetime. Backlight lifetime is based
upon the amount of time the display is turned on at full intensity. Turning
the backlight off when the display is not in use can extend the lifetime of
your backlight. This can be accomplished through the Crimson software
when configuring your unit.

FRONTPAN E LLEDS

There are three front panel LEDs that can be configured using
Crimson. Shown below is the default status of the LEDs.

A battery is used to keep time when the unit is without power. The
battery of a CR3000 unit does not affect the unit’s memory, all
configurations and data is stored in non-volatile memory.

ChangingtheBattery

To change the battery of a CR3000, first remove power to the unit.
Remove the SD card if one is installed. Insert a small screwdriver into the
slot provided on the battery holder and pry the battery holder with battery
out of the unit. Remove the old battery from the plastic holder and replace
it with a new battery. Make sure the orientation of the battery is correct
and as shown in the diagram.

Re-install the battery holder with battery into the CR3000 unit. Using
Crimson or the unit’s keypad, enter the correct time and date.

TOUCHSCREEN

This operator interface utilizes a resistive analog touchscreen for user
input. The unit will only produce an audible tone (beep) when a touch on
an active touchscreen cell is sensed. The touchscreen is fully functional
as soon as the operator interface is initialized, and can be operated with
gloved hands.

CAUTION: Lithium battery. Danger of explosion if battery is
incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent
type recommended by the manufacturer.

Please note that the old battery must be disposed of in a
manner that complies with your local waste regulations. The
battery must not be disposed of in fire, or in a manner whereby
it may be damaged and its contents could come into contact
with human skin.
