GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The DSPZR was designed to act as a nexus for industrial data collection and
management. The unit offers multiple protocol conversion, data logging and
remote machine access. 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 four protocols simultaneously so even Ethernet to Ethernet
protocols can be converted.
The DSPZR leverages over 250 communications drivers via three independent
serial ports and an Ethernet port, to connect and collect data from virtually any
PLC, drive, bar code scanner, etc.
The DSPZR’s built-in data-logger will log tags at user-programmable rates,
and automatically time/date stamp them. The information is stored in open CSV
file format, allowing you to access them with virtually any application. The
DSPZR can synchronize the log files with any FTP server and/or Microsoft’s
SQL Server for further analysis.
The CompactFlash card allows data to be collected and stored for later
review. The files are stored in simple CSV file format allowing common
applications, such as Microsoft Excel and Access, to view and manage the data.
The CompactFlash card may also be used to load new configuration files into
the DSPZR
The DSPZR extends production monitoring to remote personnel by providing
email and text alerts, and its built-in webserver allows information to be
monitored via any networked PC or smart-phone. If enabled, remote personnel
can take partial or full control of the system remotely, allowing a maintenance
person to effect changes without a site visit.
The USB port may be used for blazing fast file downloads, or to mount the
DSPZR’s CompactFlash card as an external drive to your PC. The DSPZR’s
DIN rail mounting saves time and panel space and snaps easily onto standard
top hat (T) profile DIN rail.
SOFTWARE
The DSPZR is programmed with Crimson 3.0 software for Windows
®
XP
Service Pack 2 or later platforms. The software is an easy to use, graphical
interface which allows the configuration of communications, logging, and
stunning visual displays through simple drag and drop steps.

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.
CompactFlash is a registered trademark of CompactFlash Association.
CAUTION: Risk of Danger.
Read complete instructions prior to installation
and operation of the unit.
