20. Campbell Scientific data
logger interface guide
The CCFC interfaces with compatible Campbell Scientific data loggers (see website) using RS-232
(default) or RS-485. The RS-232 configuration is the simplest option, because it does not require
an additional hardware interface (see
(p. 109)). The pigtail end of the
CCFC Power and I/O cable terminates directly to the data logger wiring panel control terminals.
Refer to
(p. 20) for wiring details.
The CCFC RS-485 interface can also be used. Only the CR1000X and CR6-series data loggers have
a built-in RS-485 interface. Other data loggers require the use of an MD485 interface to provide
conversion of the RS-485 signal (see
(p. 111)). The MD485 connects to
the data logger using the CS I/O port or the RS-232 port. Refer to the MD485 manual for
additional information.
20.1 Data logger memory setup
To facilitate the storage of photos, a CFM100 allows the use of a compact flash card on the data
logger. Memory can also be allocated from the data logger internal memory to create a virtual
user drive – USR. Entering a non-zero value for the parameter
USR:drive size
allocates
internal memory for the drive. The amount of memory required varies depending on each
