NL121 Ethernet Interface

The NL121 is the easiest and lowest-cost way to add an Ethernet interface connection to your CR1000 or CR3000. This small device, about the size of a deck of cards, simply plugs onto the data logger’s peripheral port.
  • Through the NL121, you can access the Internet capabilities of your data logger, such as PakBus, Modbus, and DNP3 over TCP, as well as web, email, file transfer, and cloud-based application clients.
  • You can collect from and control your data logger over any standard IP network—within your office or across the Internet.
  • The easiest way to add Ethernet to a CR1000 or CR3000
  • Provides a native Ethernet connection, allowing the data logger to communicate directly using a variety of Internet protocols
  • Integrated protection for surge and ESD
  • Data-logger-controlled power management for low-power operation
