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.
SOFTWARE
The Data Station is programmed with Crimson
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.

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.
Read complete instructions prior to
installation and operation of the unit.
