GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Model CSMSTRZR is a communications and control platform designed
for use with Modular Controller Series slave modules. The CSMSTRZR uses a
proprietary high speed serial protocol to communicate, via backplane connection,
with up to 16 slave modules. Through the same connection, the Master also
provides power to the modules.
When powered up, the CSMSTRZR automatically identifies and addresses
connected slave modules. By storing the configuration information of all of the
modules, the CSMSTRZR is able to automatically configure modules if they are
replaced.
The CSMSTRZR 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 CSMSTRZR 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
Master can synchronize the log files with any FTP server and/or Microsoft’s
SQL Server for further analysis. An onboard CompactFlash slot provides storage
for the Master’s built-in data logger.
The Master 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 design of the Modular Controller Series high density packaging and DIN
rail mounting saves time and panel space. The controller snaps easily onto
standard top hat (T) profile DIN rail.
SOFTWARE
The CSMSTRZR 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.
