NL100/105 Network Link Interface
8
TcpSer - This option configures the NL100 to act as a TCP/IP based serial
server when communicating with the datalogger over its CS I/O port. This is
the most common setup option for this port.
CS I/O SdcAddr/bps - This option is used to set up the CS I/O port to
communicate with the datalogger as an addressable SDC device or a
modem enabled device. If SDC7 or SDC8 is chosen, the NL100/105 will
use that address to communicate with the datalogger in a synchronous
communication mode. If one of the baud rates is chosen, the NL100/105
will communicate with the datalogger as a modem enabled device using
the selected baud rate. Note that array-based dataloggers (CR10X, CR510,
CR23X, 21X, CR7) can be configured only as modem enabled devices;
e.g., they do not support communication using SDC7 or SDC8.
CS I/O serial server port number - Enter the port number, in the range of 1
to 65000, that will be used for communication. The default port number is
6783.
PakSer - The CS I/O port of the NL100/105 can be configured as a PakBus
serial server. This sets up the device as a serial server. In this mode, PakBus
framing is removed from the packet and routed via the CS I/O port. Typically,
the attached device would be one that does not support PakBus communication
(such as an array-based CR10X).
CS I/O SdcAddr/bps - This option is used to set up the CS I/O port to
communicate with the datalogger as an addressable SDC device or a
modem enabled device. If SDC7 or SDC8 is chosen, the NL100/105 will
use that address to communicate with the datalogger in synchronous
communication mode. If one of the baud rates is chosen, the NL100/105
will communicate with the datalogger as a modem enabled device using
the selected baud rate.
CS I/O Serial Server AppId number - Enter the application ID, in the
range of 1 to 65000, that will be used to identify the PakSer in the
network. The default ID is 6783.
The usual AppId for MODBUS devices is 501.
2.3.3.4 RS-232 Config
This option configures the NL100/105's RS-232 port for communication. The
port can be set up to communicate with a datalogger or other communications
device (short haul modem, RF modem, phone modem), or to be connected to
directly and configured for communication. The setup options for the port are
PakBus, TcpSer serial server, PakSer PakBus serial server, or ConfMon
(configuration monitor).
