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.

SPECIFICATIONS 5. REAL-TIME CLOCK: Typical accuracy is less than one minute per month drift. Crimson’s SNTP facility allows synchronization with external servers. Battery: Lithium Coin Cell. Typical lifetime of 10 years at 25 ºC. A “Battery Low” system variable is available so that the programmer can choose specific action(s) to occur when the battery voltage drops below its nominal voltage. This unit is NOT field serviceable. All work must be done by a qualified technician. 6.

HARDWARE PROTOCOL CONVERSION Mount the Master as shown under Hardware Installation Figure 1. Install the rubber end cap. The end cap protects the pins from damage. Configure the Master for zero modules. INSTALLATION DIN rail should be mounted horizontally so that the unit’s ventilation holes are vertical in relation to cabinet orientation. A minimum clearance of 1 inch (25.4 mm) should be maintained above and below the unit in order to ensure proper thermal regulation. A minimum top clearance of 3.

6. To protect relay contacts that control inductive loads and to minimize radiated and conducted noise (EMI), some type of contact protection network is normally installed across the load, the contacts or both. The most effective location is across the load. a. Using a snubber, which is a resistor-capacitor (RC) network or metal oxide varistor (MOV) across an AC inductive load is very effective at reducing EMI and increasing relay contact life. b.
