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.

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.

COMPACTFLASH® CARD

CompactFlash socket is a Type II socket that can accept either Type I or II cards. Use cards with a minimum of 4 Mbytes and formatted to a maximum of 2 Gbytes (see Note box below) with the Data Station’s CompactFlash socket. Cards are available at most computer and office supply retailers. The CompactFlash can be used for optional database storage only.

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.
