POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
NEW AND EXISTING INSTALLATIONS
The XCDN option card draws all of its power from the main board of the
Modular Controller Master or Data Station Plus. The specifications of the
Modular Controller Master or Data Station Plus account for the power needs of
an option card.
COMMUNICATING WITH THE XCDN OPTION CARD
CONFIGURING A XCDN OPTION CARD
The XCDN is configured using Crimson software. Crimson is available as a
free download from www.redlion.net, or it can be ordered on CD. Updates to
Crimson for new features and drivers are posted on the website as they become
available. By configuring the XCDN using the latest version of Crimson, you
are assured that your unit has the most up-to-date feature set. Crimson software
can configure the XCDN through the RS232 PGM port, USB port, Ethernet
port, or CompactFlash socket on your Modular Controller Master or Data
Station Plus. Additional information can be found in your Modular Controller
Master or Data Station Plus hardware bulletin and the Crimson user manual.
