Manual – 3000 NRL Family Neon Remote Loggers There are many different models of Neon Remote Loggers available. While the models may be different, and the interfaces available in various models are different, the basic operation of all Neon Remote Loggers is the same. Typical Neon Measurement System Typical Neon Measurement System The figure above is an example of a Neon installation showing an NRL connected to a Modbus sensor. -
Page 7: The Nrl Stand Alone Data Logger Implementation
Manual – 3000 NRL Family The NRL Stand Alone Data logger Implementation The NRL can be programmed with a program (scheme) in the factory or in a remote office and then transported to the field to work as a stand-alone system, without the need to have an internet connection. For this operation method the program (scheme) is downloaded to the NRL using the Starlog 4 Logger configuration software. -
Page 8: Nrl Internal Architecture
Manual – 3000 NRL Family NRL Internal Architecture The NRL Internal architecture is shown below. It contains two discrete sections: 1. A LOGGER section where the terminal connects to the field transducers and the logging scheme, scan rates and diagnostics are managed. The StarlogV4 support software allows a user to generate a logger program (called a scheme) which defines transducer information, logging scan rates, logger interval etc and various engineering unit definitions. -
