Interview Q&A

Compared to the CR300, what enhanced functionality does the CR310 offer our customers?

今年早些时候，凯文·罗德斯（Kevin Rhodes）在一次采访中解释了（“对新的CR300 Datalogger感到兴奋的10多个理由”) how theCR300 Datalogger是从寻求改进的客户的反馈中诞生的CR200X Dataloggeror a small embeddable platform on which to build their own solution. The CR310 continues on the success of the CR300, and it ushers in multiple new and notable additions including: native Ethernet connectivity, support for our full suite of IP instructions, increased storage capacity, removable screw terminals, and a new web page interface.

我们CR30 CR310是最新的补充0-series family, which includes the CR300, CR310, and their respective options with embedded communications. We will follow the release of the CR310 with new communication options over the next few months.

您为什么对CR310感到兴奋？

我对CR310感到兴奋，因为它对我们的客户代表了可能性。We’ve never had a data logger this small and in this price range with native Ethernet and Internet communication capabilities.In years past, projects that needed Ethernet connectivity required the use of one of our premiere data loggers, such as theCR6. Alternatively, a CR200X was used with anNL201网络链接接口功能更有限. In contrast, the CR310 allows us to offer solutions for new or underserved applications that require a smaller footprint. It is also an appropriate solution for customers who are willing to trade some performance for a lower price.

Two phrases come to mind when I think about the CR310: “A connected environment” and “The Industrial Internet of Things.” Not only can the CR310 measure the environment, it very naturally can serve as a gateway that connects those measurements of weather, microclimates, water, energy, structures, and earth to the Internet. The CR310 can serve as a highly capable measurement, control protocol conversion, and data aggregation device capable of connecting your data to the world in real time using a number of standard SCADA and Internet protocols.

What makes the CR310 different from other products?

Without question, the CR310 offers a great price-to-performance ratio. Even though this is considered our new low-end data logger, the capabilities place it head-to-head with many flagship data loggers offered by other manufacturers. You will see the same reliability and flexibility that our data loggers have come to be known for. Yet, with some limits in inputs and control, we have been able to keep the price down.

Can you tell me more about the new web page interface?

我们能够使用数据存储内存的增加来托管一个新的和改进的Web界面。当使用Web浏览器检查状态，查看或下载数据以及管理文件时，它提供了很好的体验。我们将继续改进界面，因此甚至还有一个更新实用程序，可以轻松保持最新状态。

When is the CR310 available?

You're in luck. It is available now.
