GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The DSPZR 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 DSPZR leverages over 250 communications drivers via three independent
serial ports and an Ethernet port, to connect and collect data from virtually any
PLC, drive, bar code scanner, etc.

The DSPZR’s built-in data-logger will log tags at user-programmable rates,
and automatically time/date stamp them. The information is stored in open CSV
file format, allowing you to access them with virtually any application. The
DSPZR can synchronize the log files with any FTP server and/or Microsoft’s
SQL Server for further analysis.

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 CompactFlash card may also be used to load new configuration files into
the DSPZR

The DSPZR extends production monitoring to remote personnel by providing
email and text alerts, and its built-in webserver allows information to be
monitored via any networked PC or smart-phone. If enabled, remote personnel
can take partial or full control of the system remotely, allowing a maintenance
person to effect changes without a site visit.

The USB port may be used for blazing fast file downloads, or to mount the
DSPZR’s CompactFlash card as an external drive to your PC. The DSPZR’s
DIN rail mounting saves time and panel space and snaps easily onto standard
top hat (T) profile DIN rail.

SOFTWARE

The DSPZR is programmed with Crimson 3.0 software for Windows® XP
Service Pack 2 or later platforms. The software is an easy to use, graphical
interface which allows the configuration of communications, logging, and
stunning visual displays through simple drag and drop steps.

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.

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. A minimum top clearance of 3.00 inch is needed
when using the USB/PG port.

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

CBLUSB00

Ethernet (Crossover)

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.

power supplies.

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

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.
