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

®

 2.0 software for Windows

® 

 

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.
