NL116 Ethernet and CompactFlash ®
Module
1. Introduction
Campbell Scientific’s NL116 Ethernet/CompactFlash ® Module provides two
independent capabilities: (1) it enables Ethernet communications and (2) stores
data on a removable CompactFlash
®
(CF) card. It allows the datalogger to
communicate over a local network or a dedicated Internet connection via
Ethernet. It also expands on-site data storage and provides the user with a
convenient method of transporting data from the field back to the office. This
small, rugged communication device connects to the 40-pin peripheral port on
a CR1000 or CR3000 datalogger.
This manual describes how to use LoggerNet to connect to your datalogger
with an NL116 attached. You can also use other software packages such as
PC400 , RTDAQ , or LoggerLink Mobile Apps for iOS and Android .
Campbell Scientific recommends that only CF cards that have passed our
testing be used with the NL116. For more information on CF cards, see
Campbell Scientific’s application note CF Card Information (3SM-F) . Note
that it is not necessary to purchase the CF cards directly from Campbell
Scientific as long as the manufacturer and model number match those shown in
the application note.
Before using the NL116, please study:
•
Section 2 ,
Cautionary Statements
(p. 1)
• Section 3 , Initial Inspection
(p. 2)
•
Section 4 , Quickstart
(p. 2)
The Quickstart section explains how to quickly begin using an NL116 for
straightforward Ethernet communications and data-storage operations. The
remainder of the manual is a technical reference which describes in detail such
operations as: IP functionality, file formats, datalogger programming, and data
retrieval.
2. Cautionary Statements
• READ AND UNDERSTAND the Precautions section at the front of this
manual.
•
The NL116 requires CR1000 or CR3000 operating system version 28 or
later.
• The first time an NL116 is attached to a datalogger, the datalogger’s
memory has to be reorganized to allow room in memory for the IP stack.
To avoid the loss of data, collect your data before attaching the NL116 to a
datalogger.
• The NL116 is rugged, but it should be handled as a precision scientific
instrument.
