OEASY INSTALLATION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
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.
SAFETY SUMMARY
All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in the
literature or on equipment must be observed to ensure personal safety and to
prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment connected to it. If
equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Do not use the controller to directly command motors, valves, or other
actuators not equipped with safeguards. To do so can be potentially harmful to
persons or equipment in the event of a fault to the controller.

SPECIFICATIONS
1. POWER REQUIREMENTS: Power is supplied to the option card from the
main board of the Modular Controller Master or Data Station Plus.
2. COMMUNICATIONS:
Serial Ports: Format and Baud Rates for each port are individually software
programmable up to 115,200 baud and are isolated to help prevent ground
loops. The RS422/485 and DH485 port via RJ45 and the RS232 port via
RJ12 share the same hardware. The XCRS option card multiplexes the ports
to communicate via two protocols. These ports may be used to configure
different master protocols, but only one port may be used if configuring a
slave protocol or AB DH485.
DH485 TXEN: Transmit enable; open collector, VOH = 15 VDC, VOL = 0.5 VDC
Isolation from XCRS Communication ports to the Modular Controller
Master or Data Station Plus: 1000 VDC for 1 minute.
3. CERTIFICATIONS AND COMPLIANCES:
Refer to main unit manual or “Agency Approvals” section of Red Lion’s
website for agency certifications.

BLOCK DIAGRAM
INSTALLING THE XCRS OPTION CARD
1. Remove power from the unit
2. Insert a flat-bladed screwdriver into the slot at the top of the expansion port
cover. Gently apply pressure on the screwdriver in an upward direction until
the expansion port cover disengages from the unit as shown in Figure 1.
3. Verify that the option card knobs are in the “unlocked” position as shown in
Figure 2.
4. Carefully insert the option card into the expansion port opening while
aligning the card-edge connector on the option card with the main board's
header, as shown in Figure 3. Once aligned, gently press on the front of the
card until it is flush with the front of the case.
5. Turn the option card knobs to the locked position as shown in Figure 4.
Caution: The expansion and main circuit boards contain static
sensitive components. Before handling the cards, discharge static
charges from your body by touching a grounded bare metal object.
Ideally, handle the cards at a static controlled clean workstation.
Also, handle the cards by the edges only. Dirt, oil, or other
contaminants that may contact the cards can adversely affect circuit
operation.
Warning: Risk of Danger: Be sure to remove all power before
removing the expansion port cover
POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
NEW AND EXISTING INSTALLATIONS
The XCRS option card draws all of its power from the main board of the
Modular Controller Master or Data Station Plus. The specifications of the
Modular Controller Master or Data Station Plus account for the power needs of
an option card.
COMMUNICATING WITH THE XCRS OPTION CARD
CONFIGURING A XCRS OPTION CARD
The XCRS is configured using Crimson software. Crimson is available as a
free download from www.redlion.net, or it can be ordered on CD. Updates to
Crimson for new features and drivers are posted on the website as they become
available. By configuring the XCRS using the latest version of Crimson, you are
assured that your unit has the most up-to-date feature set. Crimson software can
configure the XCRS through the RS232 PGM port, USB port, Ethernet port, or
CompactFlash socket on your Modular Controller Master or Data Station Plus.
Additional information can be found in your Modular Controller Master or
Data Station Plus hardware bulletin and the Crimson user manual.
CABLES AND DRIVERS
Red Lion has a wide range of cables and drivers for use with many different
communication types. A list of these drivers and cables along with pin outs is
available from www.redlion.net. New cables and drivers are added on a regular
basis. If making your own cable, refer to the “XCRS Port Pin Outs” for wiring
information.
RS232 PORTS
The XCRS option card has one RS232 port. The port can be used for either
master or slave protocols with any Modular Controller Master or Data Station
Plus configuration. The RS232 port and RS422/485 port on the XCRS option
card are multiplexed because they share the same hardware. Both ports can be
used with master protocols. However, when the RS232 port is used with a slave
protocol, the RS422/485 port is not available. For examples of RS232
communications refer to your Modular Controller Master or Data Station Plus
literature.
RS422/485 COMMS PORT
The XCRS option card has one RS422/485 port. This port can be configured
to act as either RS422 or RS485.
The RS422/485 port and RS232 port are multiplexed because they share the
same hardware. Both ports can be used with master protocols. However, when
the RS422/485 port is used with a slave protocol, the RS232 port is not
available.
Note: All Red Lion devices connect A to A and B to B, except for Paradigm
devices. Refer to www.redlion.net for additional information.
For examples of RS422/485 communications refer to your Modular Controller
Master or Data Station Plus literature.
DH485 COMMUNICATIONS
The XCRS option card's RS422/485 port can also be used for Allen Bradley
DH485 communications. When this port is configured to communicate DH485,
the RS232 port can not be used because the ports share the same hardware and
the XCRS option card multiplexes the ports to communicate via two protocols.
WARNING: DO NOT use a standard DH485 cable to connect this port to Allen
Bradley equipment doing so may cause irreparable damage to the equipment
connected. A cable and wiring diagram are available from Red Lion.
