DESCRIPTION PART NUMBER Plus contain a proprietary expansion port which provides a high speed, parallel RS232/485 option card for Modular Controller architecture that extends the functionality and flexibility of the platform. This XCRS XCRS0000 or Data Station Plus approach allows these products to evolve concurrently with the latest advances 1 CBL Communication Cables CBLxxxxx in communications and standards, without sacrificing performance. This high 2 DR DIN Rail Mountable Adapter Products DRxxxxxx bandwidth channel has significantly greater throughput when compared to the 3 traditional (external) serial gateway approach. SFCRM2 Crimson 2.0 with G3/Data Station Manual SFCRM200 3 The XCRS option card adds an additional RS232 and RS422/485 port to the SFCRM2 Crimson 2.0 with Modular Controller Manual SFCRM2MC series. This isolated card protects user equipment from potentially harmful 1 ground loops while providing high-speed RS232, RS422, RS485, and DH485 Contact your Red Lion distributor or visit www.redlion.net for complete communication options to the end user. selection. 2 The XCRS communication card is easily installed by removing the blank Red Lion offers RJ modular jack adapters.

COMMUNICATIONS: Do not use the controller to directly command motors, valves, or other Serial Ports: Format and Baud Rates for each port are individually software actuators not equipped with safeguards. To do so can be potentially harmful to programmable up to 115,200 baud and are isolated to help prevent ground persons or equipment in the event of a fault to the controller. loops. The RS422/485 and DH485 port via RJ45 and the RS232 port via RJ12 share the same hardware. The XCRS option card multiplexes the ports to communicate via two protocols. These ports may be used to configure CAUTION: Risk of Danger. Read complete instructions prior to different master protocols, but only one port may be used if configuring a installation and operation of the unit. slave protocol or AB DH485.
