GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Data Station Plus was designed to act as a nexus for industrial data
collection and management. 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 ten protocols simultaneously using Crimson 3, so even
Ethernet to Ethernet conversion may be performed.
The CompactFlash card allows new configuration files to be loaded into the
Data Station Plus. 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.

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.
SOFTWARE
The Data Station is programmed with Crimson® 2.0 software for Windows®
CAUTION: Risk of Danger.
Read complete instructions prior to
installation and operation of the unit.
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.

HARDWARE
INSTALLATION
DIN rail should be mounted horizontally so that the unit’s ventilation holes
are vertical in relation to cabinet orientation. A minimum clearance of 1 inch
(25.4 mm) should be maintained above and below the unit in order to ensure
proper thermal regulation.
The unit shall be installed inside a UL Listed Industrial Control Panel or
similar type of enclosure. A minimum 3.2 mm distance shall be maintained
between the hazardous live parts of the equipment and accessible parts of the
fire/electrical enclosure.

POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
It is very important that the power supply is mounted correctly if the unit is
to operate reliably. Please take care to observe the following points:
– The power supply must be mounted close to the unit, with usually not more
than 6 feet (1.8 m) of cable between the supply and the Data Station.
Ideally, the shortest length possible should be used.
– The wire used to connect the Data Station’s power supply should be at least
22-gage wire. 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 extralow 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.
Note: Do not remove or insert
the CompactFlash card while
power is applied.
Information stored on a CompactFlash card can be read by a card reader
attached to a PC. This information is stored in IBM (Windows®) PC compatible
FAT16 file format.
NOTE
For reliable operation of this and other Red Lion products, one of the
following brands of CompactFlash card must be used...
SimpleTech SMART® Modular swissbit
®
SanDisk
Not all of the above manufacturers offer CompactFlash cards recognized to
UL standards, which may be required for your application.
Although RLC products limit use of CompactFlash card memory to 2 GB,
cards with a larger capacity can be used. They MUST be formatted to 2
GB and use the FAT 16 file system. It is recommended to format the CF
card using the format utility from within Crimson.

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.
b. Connect the shield to earth ground at both ends of the cable, usually 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

power supplies.
effective. The following EMI suppression devices (or equivalent) are
recommended:
Fair-Rite part number 0443167251 (RLC part number 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. Using 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 (such as a DC relay coil) is controlled by a 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 RLC 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.
RLC part numbers: Snubber: SNUB0000
Varistor: ILS11500 or ILS23000
7. Care should be taken when connecting input and output devices to the
instrument. When a separate input and output common is provided, they
should not be mixed. Therefore a sensor common should NOT be connected
to an output common. This would cause EMI on the sensitive input common,
which could affect the instrument’s operation.

EMI guidelines, Safety and CE issues as they relate to Red Lion Controls
products.
