16. CR1000 Interface Guide
The CC5MPX can interface to the CR1000 using the RS-232 (default) or RS-485.
The RS-232 configuration is the simplest option as it does not require an additional
hardware interface. The pigtail end of the CC5MPX Power & I/O cable can be
terminated directly to the CR1000 wiring panel control ports (COM1-4). Refer to
Section 9 for wiring details.
The CC5MPX RS-485 interface can also be used, but does require the use of an
MD485 interface to provide conversion of the RS-485 signal. The MD485 can
connect to the CR1000 using the CS I/O port or the RS-232 port. Refer to the
MD485 manual for additional information.
16.1 CR1000 Memory Setup
To facilitate the storage of images, a CFM100 allows the use of a compact flash
card on the CR1000. Memory can also be allocated from the CR1000’s internal
memory to create a virtual user drive – USR. Entering a non-zero value for the
parameter ‘USR:drive size” allocates internal memory for the drive. The amount of
memory required will vary depending on each application. A good number to start
with is approximately 1048 Kbytes, which is 25% of the 4M bytes available on a
standard CR1000.
The following methods can be used to set the drive size of the USR:
x The Device Configuration Utility
x PakBus Graph
x Editing the parameter from the Status Table
x CR1000 optional keypad and display
The CC5MPX will not send any files using the PakBus that are greater
than 2 MB.
16.2 CR1000 Files Manager
The Files Manager setting on the CR1000 facilitates the management of JPEG and
AVI files that are received from the camera. The Files Manager allows the user to
specify a name for the files and the number of files kept in a ring memory type
fashion.
The format of the Files Manager setting is as follows:
x (AAAA,DDD:NAME.EXT,NNNN)
x AAAA – camera PakBus address.
x DDD – destination drive on the CR1000
USR for the user drive.
CRD for the compact flash memory card.
x NAME – any name string that will be used to name the files.
x EXT – the file extension of the incoming file must match. In the case od
the camera, this must always be either ‘JPG’ or ‘AVI’.
x NNNN – number of files kept in the memory ring. This number muct be
low enough so that the memory required for files is less than what is
available in the corresponding drive. Otherwise, the USR memory will not
ring and will fill up and stop. For the internal USR drive of a datalogger
