CX1000/CX2000

Every DAQSTATION model is standard-equipped with an Ethernet port (10BaseT). This facilitates connection to an existing network, and is already in place if you have future plans to create a network. The DAQSTATION includes a variety of networking protocols: TCP/IP, the standard protocol for the internet and LAN/WAN environments; SMTP, a protocol for sending internet mail; HTTP for remote monitoring with an internet web browser; and an FTP client/server function for file transfers. Once your DAQSTATION is installed on your network, you can use the networking functions immediately.

CX Series can send you alarm data, instantaneous values at preset times, report data, power-outage data, and other information via email. Once your DAQSTATION is connected to the Internet, it can send email anywhere. You can even receive CX emails in a remote location using an email-capable cellular phone.

You can display the CX screen using an Internet web browser such as Internet Explorer. In addition to displaying the CX screen, your web browser can check alarm status, report instantaneous channel values, and write message data to the CX.
The Web server function lets you remotely monitor your CX units, making wide-area on demand monitoring a possibility.

The FTP client function in CX Series lets you automatically transfer, at preset times, data files saved to the CX unit's internal memory. DAQSTATION supports as many as two servers - a primary server and secondary server. If the primary server fails, files will automatically be transferred to the secondary server.
