SRM-5A Short Haul Modem

Überblick

Das SRM-5A ist ein asynchrones Modem für lokale Kommunikation zwischen Datenlogger und Computer. Zwei SRM-5A Kurzstreckenmodems sind nötig, eins am Datenlogger und eins am Computer. Jedes sendet über ein vieradriges Telefonkabel oder CABLE2TB mit zwei verdrillten Leiterpaaren. Datenraten bis zu 9600 bps sind möglich.

Funktionen und Vorteile

  • Provides the easiest link for communicating with one data logger over longer distances
  • Low voltage transmission levels minimize crosstalk between adjacent lines within the same cable.
  • Data are transmitted and received at a balanced impedance, providing excellent immunity to circuit noise.
  • Transmits up to 6.2 miles using 19 gauge cable at 9600 bps
  • Transmits up to 7.6 miles at 1200 bps

Technische Beschreibung

Campbell Scientific recommends connecting the SRM-5A to the data logger's CS I/O port via the SC932A interface; a 9-to-25 pin adapter is required. It may be possible to connect the SRM-5A to the data logger's RS-232 port, but configuration is more complicated; contact Campbell Scientific for more information. Surge protectors on both ends of the transmission line are strongly recommended.

Power Requirements

  • At Computer: uses low power from the EIA RS-232-C/CCITT V.24 data and control signals
  • At Data logger: combined current drain of the SC932A and RAD modem, which is 2.2 mA quiescent, and 10 to 15 mA active
  • Protection: ac/dc over voltage connected via isolation transformers rated at 1,500 V RMS

CR9000X (retired) Although the CR9000X is compatible, the SRM-5A does not support the CR9000X's maximum communication rate and therefore may not be practical for many CR9000X applications.

Additional Compatibility Information

Other Short Haul Modems

The SRM-5A is compatible with the now retired SRM-6A; the two can be used on either end of the same line.

Transmission Cables

Most manufacturers refer to cables compatible with this application as "PE39 Cable".

  1. Campbell Scientific does not currently offer any. 

  2. Technically, the SRM-5A is compatible with the CR200X-series dataloggers, but it is more complicated to use it with these data loggers. To use a SRM-5A with a CR200X-series datalogger, the SRM-5A must be in the DTE position on the station modem. In addition, user-supplied adapters and gender changers are needed to complete the connections between the SRM-5A and the RS-232 port of the data logger. Contact Campbell Scientific for more information.

  3. Use the terminal mode of the Device Configuration Utility (select Unknown for Device type) set to 9600 baud. Click the Connect button to open the terminal screen.

    On the SRM-5A, short together the RCV + to the XMT +, and the RCV – to the XMT – connections. Try typing letters and numbers with the computer keyboard.  If these do not appear on the terminal screen, the modem is damaged and must be replaced.  Ensure that the Echo Input box is NOT selected.

  4. The FC100 is designed for lightning-proof and lightning-safe serial communication. Because the FC100 offers PMMA or glass fibers that are not conductive, electrical surges (such as those caused by lightning) cannot travel between the modems.
  5. If connecting to the CS I/O port, one of the following is needed:

    • An SC932A interface with a 15751 9 to 25 pin adapter
    • An SC932C interface

    A connection can also be made to the RS-232 port. However, the switch on the SRM-5A must be in the DTE position on the station modem, and adapters and gender changers may be needed to complete the connection.

  6. It is not cost effective to repair. The SRM-5A should be replaced.
