GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Model CSMSTRLE is a communications and control platform designed 

for use with Modular Controller Series slave modules. The CSMSTR uses a 
proprietary high speed serial protocol to communicate, via backplane connection, 
with up to 16 slave modules. Through the same connection, the Master also 
provides power to the modules. 

When powered up, the CSMSTR automatically identifies and addresses 

connected slave modules. By storing the configuration information of all of the 
modules, the CSMSTR is able to automatically configure modules if they are 
replaced.

The Master provides high-speed RS232/422/485 communication ports and an 

Ethernet port for connection to PCs, PLCs, and SCADA systems. An extensive 
list of master and slave protocol drivers are available to allow the CSMSTR to 
share and exchange variable data with external devices. The 10 Base-T/100 
Base-TX Ethernet port can also be used to connect and share data with other 
devices at high speeds.

The design of the Modular Controller Series high density packaging and DIN 

rail mounting saves time and panel space. The controller snaps easily onto 
standard top hat (T) profile DIN rail.

SOFTWARE

The CSMSTR is programmed with Crimson

®

 2.0 software for Windows

®

 

2000 or later platforms. The software is an easy to use, graphical interface which 
provides a means of communication configuration, as well as commissioning 
and calibration of new systems.

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.
