The Campbell Scientic Datalogger is a rugged instrument and will give years of reliable service if a few precautions are observed: Protect from over-voltage Protect from water Protect from ESD Disuse accelerates depletion of the internal battery, which backs up several functions. The internal battery will be depleted in three years or less if the datalogger is left on the shelf. When the datalogger is continuously used, the internal battery may last up to 10 years or more. Maintain a level of calibration appropriate to the application.

The ZephIR 300 is a Class 1 Laser Product.

Class 1 Laser Product Laser Wavelength: 1560 to 1565 nm Peak Power: <1 W (70 mm aperture)

Interfacing Campbell Scientific Dataloggers to the ZephIR 300

Programming and Configuration

Datalogger Programs

Template programs are available to facilitate datalogger programming for datalogger-to-ZephIR 300 communications.

The template programs contain code specic for ZephIR 300 communications. Code can be added to the existing template programs to measure met tower instruments, set up Modbus or DNP3 maps to make data available to SCADA systems, send emails, FTP data, etc. To obtain copies of the template programs, please contact Campbell Scientic.

Throughout the remainder of this guide, program and conguration examples will be shown for the CR1000 datalogger. Equivalent programming templates are available for the CR6, CR800, CR850, CR1000X, and CR3000 dataloggers.

There are three les that are loaded onto the datalogger to set up ZephIR 300 to datalogger communications:

Interface Template This program is used to poll the ZephIR 300 for 10-minute averaged data. Code can be added to this template program to measure and store mast instrumentation data.

Flag Convert File The interface template program calls on this le to run a subroutine that converts ZephIR 300 information and status ag data to readable text for storage with the 10-minute averaged data.

Discovery Template This program is run on the datalogger to establish initial communications with the ZephIR 300 and to learn the ZephIR 300 conguration (heights being measured). This le is optional and is used to automate the process of setting up the datalogger to poll the ZephIR 300 for the heights that the ZephIR 300 is congured to measure.

Introduction Campbell Scientic CR6, CR800, CR850, CR1000, CR1000X, and CR3000 dataloggers can be used to obtain data from the ZephIR 300. The dataloggers use the Modbus protocol to poll the ZephIR 300 for 10-minute averaged data.

Some of the benets of using a Campbell Scientic datalogger with a ZephIR 300 Lidar are: Lidar data in standard Campbell Scientic format Flexible data transfer options through Campbell Scientic equipment Lidar data compatible with existing systems that use Campbell Scientic LoggerNet software Data congurability with programmable Campbell Scientic dataloggers Lidar-to-meteorological tower communications and data concentration Single-point data gateway for Lidar data and data from other devices Customizable DNP3 or Modbus maps to meet the requirements of SCADA systems

ZephIR 300 Compatibility The datalogger must be programmed to enable communications with the ZephIR 300. This guide describes the steps for setting up a CR1000 datalogger to communicate and collect data from a ZephIR 300 Lidar.

The ZephIR 300 must be running rmware version 1.3 or later to be compatible with the Modbus protocol and to be able to send data to Campbell Scientic dataloggers. Earlier versions of ZephIR rmware may be compatible but will require dierent datalogger programs than the programs described in this manual.

1. Connect to the CR1000 datalogger using Device Conguration Utility

Software Conguration and Programming

2. Select the Settings Editor tab

3. Scroll down until you nd the USR: Drive Size setting. Enter 30000 in the data entry eld and then click the Apply button at the bottom of the window. After the settings are applied Device Conguration Utility can be closed. NOTE: A larger USR drive size may be needed for larger programs.

B. Establishing Communications with ZephIR_Discovery_Template.cr1

1. Connect to the CR1000 using the Connect screen in LoggerNet and click the File Control button at the top of the Connect screen. The File Control window will open as shown below. For more information on setting up a connection to the CR1000 using LoggerNet, see the CR1000 Manual.

2. With the File Control window now open, select the USR Drive and click the Send button. Browse to where the Template Program le (See Section 3) is located, select the le, and then click the Open button. 3. Clear the Run Now box and check the Run On Power-up box. Click the OK button.

4. With the File Control window still open, select the USR Drive and click the Send button. Browse to where the Flag Convert le is located, select the le, and then click the Open button. 5. Clear the Run Now box. Click the OK button. 6.After the Interface and Flag Convert les have been sent, close the File Control window.

7. Open the Discovery Template le in the CRBasic Editor. In the ZephIR_Discovery_Template.cr1 le, there is an IP_Address constant dened near the beginning of the program. Enter the IP address of the ZephIR 300 between the quotation marks.

8. Save and compile the ZephIR_Discovery_Template.cr1 le. 9. On the Connect screen, click the Send button.

10. Browse to where the ZephIR_Discovery_Template.cr1 le is located, select the le, and then click Open. 11. After the CR1000 has compiled the Discovery Program, it will attempt to open a TCP socket with the ZephIR 300 and communicate with it via the Modbus over TCP protocol.

Upon successful communication with the ZephIR 300, the CR1000 will automati- cally create a conguration le on the USR drive called ZephIR_Cong.cr1. This le is created based on the settings read from the ZephIR 300. The le documents the heights, aw well as the number of heights, that the ZephIR 300 is congured to measure.

Important Note: If the conguration of the ZephIR 300 is changed, the Discovery Program should be run again after all data is collected from the datalogger.

The CR1000 automatically compiles and runs the Interface Template le that was previously loaded on the USR drive of the CR1000 datalogger. The Interface template le then polls the ZephIR 300 on a regular interval to obtain the 10-minute averaged data.

Note: The ZephIR 300 can be congured to measure a maximum of 10 heights. However, a reference height of 38 m is always measured. The wind speed data at this height will be reported back to the datalogger and recorded in the nal storage table.

C. Customizing the Template Files Code can be added to the Interface Template program using th
