NL100/105 Network Link Interface

3.2 NL100/105 to Datalogger Connections - Array Based
Dataloggers
The cases below assume the NL100/105 is being connected to an array-based
datalogger using the datalogger's CS I/O port (CR10X, CR510 CR23X) or RS-
232 port (CR23X). TD-based dataloggers (CR10X-TD, CR510-TD, and
CR23X-TD) are configured similarly. In these instances, the communication
port(s) being used on the NL100/105 should be set up as TcpSer (TCP/IP based
serial server).
For all cases, the network map for the LoggerNet software should depict an
IPPort root device with the datalogger attached directly to the IPPort (see
Figure 3) unless otherwise noted. In some instances, extra response time (3 to 4
seconds) may need to be added to the IPPort and/or the datalogger to account
for network traffic delays over a TCP/IP connection.
The IP Address entered in the software for the NL100/105 should
not contain leading zeros. If leading zeros are used, the
communications attempts will fail.
Some of the communication links require additional peripherals or cables that
can be purchased from Campbell Scientific. In some cases, a standard RS-232 9
to 25 pin or 25 to 25 pin cable is required. RS-232 cables can be purchased
from Campbell Scientific or from a computer accessories supplier.
