1. Preface
This manual is intended to give the installer, user and maintenance personnel all the information they are likely to need
for implementing telemetry systems from the
Data_Link 2000
product range.
The
Data_Link 2000
product is based on
Nano_Link
(which is a simple, low power, self-contained unit) and
Micro_Link
(which is a more complex product with considerable expansion capacity and many configurable
functions). This manual concentrates on
Nano_Link
. If a system uses both
Nano_Link
and
Micro_Link
, this manual
should be read in conjunction with the ‘
Data_Link 2000
Technical Manual
’.
The
Data_Link 2000
product range is subject to continuous evolution, so new features are constantly being added by a
combination of software enhancements and new hardware modules. This manual describes the features of
Nano_Link
software version 2.24. Some of the features described may not be available, or may function slightly differently, in
earlier software versions. However, it is Churchill Control’s policy to ensure that wherever possible software is
backwards-compatible. This means that wherever possible the features described will be present in all future software
issues.
The software version fitted within
Nano_Link
can be found by removing the cover and examining the label on the
EPROM, or by connecting an alphanumeric display to it.
Every attempt has been made to lay out this manual in a logical sequence. Chapter 2 describes the features of
Nano_Link
, and should be read before designing a system around
Nano_Link
.
Chapter 4 explains the method of installation.
Chapter 5 describes the method of configuring
Nano_Link
for each specific application, and chapters 6, 7, 8 and 9
describe the functionality in detail.
Chapter 10 describes the Alphanumeric Display Module, which provides a user interface if required.
Before shipping any
Nano_Link
system, Churchill Controls configure it to their best understanding of the specific
application requirements, and test it as a complete system. However, because the internal power supply has battery
back-up which would run down during shipping. To overcome this the configuration switches on each
Nano_Link
are
set to the power down mode immediately prior to shipping. After installation the system should begin operation
immediately if the user sets the switches to the position marked on the label attached to the unit.
