Descrição Técnica

The NL115 allows the data logger to communicate over a local network or a dedicated Internet connection via TCP/IP. A 10baseT Ethernet straight through cable is used when the cable is run from a hub to the NL115. A 10baseT Ethernet crossover cable is used if the cable is run directly from the computer to the NL115.

The NL115/CF card combination can be used to expand the data logger's memory, transport data/programs from the field site(s) to the office, and upload power up functions. One Type I or Type II CompactFlash (CF) card fits into the NL115’s card slot.

Only industrial-grade CF cards should be used with our products. Although consumer-grade cards cost less than industrial-grade cards, the consumer-grade cards are more susceptible to failure resulting in both the loss of the card and its stored data. Industrial-grade cards also function over wider temperature ranges and have longer life spans than consumer-grade cards.

Data stored on the card can be retrieved either by removing the card and carrying it to a computer or through a communications link with the data logger. The computer can read the CF card either with the computer’s PCMCIA slot and the CF1 adapter or the computer’s USB port and the 17752 Reader/Writer.

CardConvert is used to convert and save binary data from a CompactFlash® card. CardConvert is included in our PC200W, PC400, LoggerNet, and RTDAQ datalogger support software.

Additional Compatibility Information

CompactFlash (CF) Cards

Campbell Scientific offers and recommends several CF cards (see Ordering tab). These cards have passed Campbell Scientific's ESD testing and operate properly with our data loggers.

Only industrial-grade CF card should be used with our products. Although consumer-grade cards cost less than industrial-grade cards, the consumer-grade cards are more susceptible to failure resulting in both the loss of the card and its stored data. Industrial-grade cards also function over wider temperature ranges and have longer life spans than consumer-grade cards.

Software Requirements

The NL115 is set up using the Device Configuration utility (DevConfig). The NL115 requires LoggerNet 3.2 or later, PC400 1.3 or later, and DevConfig 1.5 or later.

Data Logger Considerations

The NL115 fastens onto the data logger's 40-pin peripheral port. This means that the NL115 is only compatible with the CR1000 and CR3000. It is NOT compatible with the CR800, CR850, CR200X, CR5000, or CR9000X dataloggers.

To read cards with more than 2 GB of storage, the data logger operating system must be OS 25 or later.

Number of FAQs related to NL115: 31

Expandir todosRecolher todos

  1. The file on the card is open until the program is stopped or the button on the device is pressed.

  2. No. The CR800 and CR850 do not have the necessary peripheral port to connect to an NL115.

  3. The NL115 isn’t configurable for an IP address. The IP address is set in the data logger using the Device Configuration Utility.

  4. The CFM100 or NL115 is detected during the data logger boot-up cycle, that is, when it is powered on. Disconnect or connect the CFM100 or NL115 to a data logger only after power to the data logger has been disconnected. 

  5. No. Only a program change could cause this. To save data to a CFM100 or an NL115, a CardOut() or TableFile() instruction must be present in at least one data table.

  6. Yes, but the data storage must be managed by the program.

  7. Campbell Scientific always recommends using CF cards carried by Campbell Scientific. Although another CF card might fit and work with a CFM100 or NL115, the CF card might not be rated for the same temperature range as the CFM100 or NL115. In addition, another CF card might not have the same electrostatic discharge (ESD) immunity as the cards tested and carried by Campbell Scientific. For more detail on CF cards, see the “CF Card Information” application note.
