sehr geringer Stromverbrauch
Überblick
Das NL201 ist ein serielles Interface, das die Verbindung eines Datenloggers oder Peripheriegeräts mit serieller Schnittstelle mit dem Ethernet ermöglicht. Das NL201 unterstützt auch kompliziertere Anwendungen für PakBus-Netzwerke. Es verwendet eine neue Technik zur Verbindung von CS I/O-Port und Ethernet-Port und ermölicht direkten Zugriff auf die integrierte IP-Funktionalität eines Loggers. Es kann auch als serieller Standard-TCP Server, serieller Client, Modbus TCP/IP Gateway und TLS Proxy Server für HTTPS eingesetzt werden oder zur benutzerdefinierten Kommunikation.

Technische Beschreibung
The NL201 connects to an Ethernet network using a 10Base-T/100Base-TX, full or half duplex, Ethernet interface. It has CS I/O and RS-232 ports for connecting a Campbell Scientific datalogger, peripheral, Modbus RTU, or other serial-based device. A USB micro B connection is provided for on-site configuration using Device Configuration Utility software.
The NL201 can act as a PakBus router, TCP serial server, TCP serial client, Modbus TCP/IP gateway, and TLS proxy server for HTTPS and user-defined-port communications.
The NL201 also provides a unique mode that bridges the Ethernet and CS I/O ports. This allows access to the internal IP functionality of the CR6, CR800, CR850, CR1000, and CR3000 (for example, web page access, email, FTP). Adding an NL201 configured in this manner to a CR800 is analogous to adding an NL121 to a CR1000’s peripheral port. Adding an NL201 configured in this manner to a CR800 is analogous to adding an NL120 to a CR1000’s peripheral port.

Notes:
♣The CR300 connects to the NL201 using a 10873 serial that is not supplied with the CR300 or the NL201. The CR300-series dataloggers are not compatible with the bridge mode functionality in the NL201 interface.
* Although compatible, the CR9000X does not need an Ethernet interface because it has an on-board Ethernet port.
** It is possible to use an NL201 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 NL201's RS-232 port.

-
Use the NL201 Network Link Interface.
-
After the OS has been sent, the NL201 will automatically be reset. There is no need to do it manually.
-
No. A connection to the NL201 must be made to configure it for bridge mode.
-
Yes. An OS can be uploaded remotely over TCP/IP using our Device Configuration Utility (DevConfig) software. This method will not work, however, if the device has been configured to operate in bridge mode or if the device has not been configured with a valid IP address.
To upload the OS over TCP/IP, do the following:
- Open DevConfig.
- Select NL200 from the list of device types.
- Click the Send OS tab.
- Follow the instructions listed in the “Download via Ethernet” section.
-
Yes. We currently have, and continue to develop, a variety of products that are compatible with IPv6 networking. For example, the NL200/201 and NL240 can serve as IPv6 serial servers for our data loggers and communications peripherals. We anticipate IPv6 compatibility to be included in the CR800, CR850, CR1000, and CR3000 by mid-2014.
-
The NL201 and NL240 are available options.
-
The NL121 plugs into the datalogger and doesn't require an additional cable to work. The NL121 also doesn't take up much extra space. Because the NL121 has a faster interface to the datalogger than the NL201 does, the NL121 communicates faster.
The NL201 has to be mounted next to the datalogger and requires a cable to connect to it. Also, the NL201 requires some additional configuration so that it will work with the datalogger. For example, choices have to be made regarding how the NL201 is connected to the datalogger.
-
The NL201 and NL240 are powered via the DC barrel connector and/or the CS I/O port. Sometimes, users who are using the network link
interface as a serial terminal server, PakBus router, or Modbus gateway want to connect their devices via the CS I/O port while
providing power only through the DC barrel connector and a 12 V source (such as a datalogger SW12V output). In this scenario, a jumper
inside the NL201 or NL240 can be removed, preventing the interfaces from always being powered by the CS I/O connections. For more
information, refer to the instruction manual for the interface. -
The maximum recommended segment length (length of cable between the NL device and the Ethernet repeater, hub, switch, or router it is connected to) for 10Base-T and 100Base-Tx networks using CAT5e cable is 100 m.
-
Yes. For example, the NL115 allows the CR1000 to communicate over a local network or a dedicated Internet connection via TCP/IP.
