Overview
Campbell Scientific's NL200 is a powerful network link interface that provides a wired Ethernet network connection to data loggers and peripherals. It allows our data loggers, as well as other serial devices, to communicate over a local area network or a dedicated Internet connection. Additionally, the NL200 supports sophisticated networking capabilities, especially when used in PakBus networks with PakBus devices. For example, with the NL200, multiple PakBus clients can be connected to a single data logger at the same time.
Key Advantages
Extremely low power consumption
Technical Description
The NL200 communicates with Campbell Scientific data loggers and peripherals using an Ethernet 10/100 Mbps communications link. It has CS I/O and RS-232 ports for communication and a USB port for NL200 configuration.
The NL200 can be configured to bridge Ethernet and CS I/O communications allowing access to the internal IP functionality of the CR800, CR850, CR1000, and CR3000 (e.g., web page access, email, FTP). This device also can be configured to act as a serial server, as a PakBus router, or as a TLS Proxy server.
