Wiring panel and terminal functions
The CR300 series wiring panel provides ports and removable terminals Point at which a wire (or wires) connects to a wiring panel or connector. Wires are usually secured in terminals by screw- or lever-and-spring actuated gates with small screw- or spring-loaded clamps. for connecting sensors, power, and communications devices. It is protected against surge, over-voltage, over-current, and reverse power. The wiring panel is the interface to most data logger functions so studying it is a good way to get acquainted with the data logger. Functions of the terminals are broken down into the following categories:
- Analog input
- Pulse counting
- Analog output
- Communications
- Digital I/O
- Power input
- Power output
- Power ground
- Signal ground
