XCRS0000
Both the Modular Controller Master (enhanced models) and Data Station Plus contain a proprietary expansion port which provides a high speed, parallel architecture that extends the functionality and flexibility of the platform. This approach allows these products to evolve concurrently with the latest advances in communications and standards, without sacrificing performance. This high bandwidth channel has significantly greater throughput when compared to the traditional (external) serial gateway approach. The XCRS option card adds an additional RS232 and RS422/485 port to the series. This isolated card protects user equipment from potentially harmful ground loops while providing high-speed RS232, RS422, RS485, and DH485 communication options to the end user. The XCRS communication card is easily installed by removing the blank expansion port cover of your Modular Controller or Data Station Plus, and plugging the XCRS card into the expansion port. Configuration is simple using Red Lion''s free Crimson 2.0 software.
