Red Lion XCENET - Manual

 CONFIGURED USING CRIMSON ® SOFTWARE
(VERSION 2.0 OR LATER)
 10 BASE-T/100 BASE-TX ETHERNET PORT
 EASY INSTALLATION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Both the Modular Controller Master (enhanced models) and Data Station
Plus contain a proprietary expansion port which provides a high speed, parallel
architecture that extends the functionality and flexibility of the platform. This
approach allows these products to evolve concurrently with the latest advances
in communications and standards, without sacrificing performance. This high
bandwidth channel has significantly greater throughput when compared to the
traditional (external) serial gateway approach.
The auxiliary Ethernet port provides a means to isolate machine-network
traffic from the plant-wide network, thereby negating the need for an industrial
router. Further, by isolating the machine and plant-wide networks, the system
only requires that a single IP address be provided by the company’s IT group.
The XCENET option card is easily installed by removing the blank
expansion port cover of your Modular Controller or Data Station Plus, and
plugging the XCENET card into the expansion port. Installing this card adds an
auxiliary 10/100 Ethernet port to any Modular Controller or Data Station Plus.
Configuration is simple using Red Lion’s free Crimson 2.0 or Crimson 3.0
software.
SAFETY SUMMARY
All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in the
literature 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.
