概要

The NL240 is a powerful Wi-Fi network link interface that provides a wireless network connection to data loggers and peripherals. It supports sophisticated networking capabilities, especially when used in PakBus networks with PakBus devices. For example, with the NL240, multiple PakBus clients can be connected to a single data logger at the same time.

詳細

The NL240 can take advantage of the thousands of Wi-Fi hotspots available in cafés, universities, hotels, and airports. Wi-Fi also provides encryption to protect traffic and uses a global set of standards so the same device can be used internationally.

The NL240 is an industrial device that goes beyond the typical Wi-Fi serial device server. It supports Wi-Fi communication with an iOS or Android device when used with our LoggerLink apps. By providing direct access to all the IP capabilities of the CR800, CR1000, and CR3000 dataloggers, the NL240 provides:

  • M2M communication of data and events
  • PakBus communication over TCP/IP for remote configuration, control, and data collection
  • HTTP and FTP for posting, retrieving, and local hosting of data
  • Email client for data and control messaging
  • ModBus TCP/IP, DNP3, and NTCIP ESS industrial protocol support

Powering the NL240

The NL240 is typically powered by the data logger through the CS I/O port. When the NL240 is connected to the RS-232 port, a field cable (pn 14291) is used to connect the NL240 to an appropriate 12 Vdc power supply. A wall charger (pn 15966) is used when the NL240 is in an office next to a computer.

互換性

Wi-Fi ad hoc networking is provided for the purpose of networking between NL240 interfaces. Ad hoc networking is supported by iOS, allowing an iOS device to connect to an NL240 that has created a network. Wi-Fi ad hoc networking is not supported natively by Android OS and is difficult to support on Windows 7 and greater.

Software

Our Device Configuration Utility must be version 2.03 or higher.

Notes:
♣The CR300 connects to the NL240 using a 10873 serial cable that is not supplied with the CR300 or the NL240. The CR300-series dataloggers are not compatible with the bridge mode functionality in the NL240 interface.
* The data logger OS must be OS 25 or higher for bridge mode applications.
** It is possible to use an NL240 to connect to a mixed-array data logger (e.g., CR10, CR10X, CR23X, 21X, CR7) by using an SC32B between the data logger's CS I/O port and the NL240's RS-232 port.

よくある質問

NL240に関するよくある質問の数: 15

すべて展開すべて折りたたむ

  1. No. Antennas are ordered separately, allowing customers to choose the best antenna for their application and site.

  2. NL240 が LoggerNet を実行しているサーバーとは異なるネットワーク上にある場合、ステーションまたは LoggerNet のいずれかが他方への接続を開始できる必要があります。

    • NL240/データロガーには、LoggerNetコンピュータからアクセスできるIPアドレスが必要です。

    もしくは

    • LoggerNet には、NL240/データ ロガーにアクセスできる IP アドレスが必要です。
  3. NL201 および NL240 は、DC バレル コネクタおよび/または CS I/O ポートを介して電源が供給されます。ネットワーク リンク インターフェイスをシリアル ターミナル サーバ、PakBus ルーター、または Modbus ゲートウェイとして使用するユーザーは、DC バレル コネクタと 12 V 電源 (データ ロガーの SW12V 出力など) のみを介して電源を供給しながら、CS I/O ポートを介してデバイスを接続したい場合があります。このシナリオでは、NL201 または NL240 内のジャンパーを取り外して、インターフェイスが常に CS I/O 接続によって電源供給されないようにすることができます。詳細については、インターフェイスの取扱説明書を参照してください。

  4. It depends on the application, funds available for new hardware, and the quantity of data that will be collected. Viable options include the NL240, RF4xx spread-spectrum-series radios, RF32x UHF/VHF radios, and cellular modems.

  5. NL200 シリーズのデバイスは、イーサネットまたは Wi-Fi インターフェイスと CS I/O インターフェイスをブリッジするように設定できます。イーサネットまたは Wi-Fi 経由でデバイスに着信するすべてのパケットは、CS I/O ポートを介してデータ ロガーに転送されます。これにより、データ ロガーは IP 関連のすべてのサービスを利用できるようになります。ブリッジ モードを有効にして NL200 シリーズ デバイスを構成することは、データ ロガーにネイティブ イーサネットまたは Wi-Fi ポートを追加することに似ています。ブリッジ モードでは PPP は使用されません。

  6. はい。たとえば、NL115 を使用すると、CR1000 は TCP/IP 経由でローカル ネットワークまたは専用のインターネット接続を介して通信できます。

  7. Connect one data logger to the RS-232 port (6784) and the other data logger to the CS I/O port (6783). To access a data logger on the RS-232 port, use the IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:6784. To access a data logger on the CS I/O port, use xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:6783. For setup instructions and configuration assistance, refer to the NL240 instruction manual, use the LoggerNet Network Planner tool, or contact Campbell Scientific.
