Click2Contact

The NL240 is a wireless networking peripheral that provides Wi-Fi connectivity to Campbell Scientific data loggers and peripheral devices over standard 802.11b/g/n networks. It is a low-power device that offers powerful PakBus networking capabilities but is easy to configure.

The logger can take advantage of the thousands of Wi-Fi hotspots available in cafes, 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 industrial device is said to go beyond the typical Wi-Fi serial device server, supporting Wi-Fi communication with an iOS or Android device when used with Campbell Scientific LoggerLink apps.

By providing direct access to all the IP capabilities of the CR800, CR1000 and CR3000 data loggers, the product 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.
