LM3000 Series Master Station

Logic Net - LM3000 Series Master Station

Cost Effective
Logic NetR modules can replace costly PC workstations, network hubs and network software. To add more stations, simply increase the number of LS3000 module connected to one LM3000 control modules. No special interface cards or additional hardware is required between the LS3000 I/O stations and a multitude of peripheral devices.

Reliable and Rugged

The LM3000 control module was designed to meet the most demanding requirements of an industrial network. There are no disk drives, fans or mechanical parts that can easily fail. The enclosure is a heavy-duty zinc die cast case for extra ruggedness. Every module uses snap-to-lock connectors for secure connections. The LM3000 communicates with LS3000 I/O stations using communications protocols and topologies with proven reliability. It features high common-mode noise rejection network wiring. The poll/select protocol functionality avoids data collision, and the cyclic redundant checks virtually eliminate all communication errors. A zero single-point-of-failure configuration is also supported. LM3000 connections provide for a redundant data path to prevent network interruption due to a line breakage. The LM3000 has low power consumption that results in low internal temperature rise for higher mean time between failure. In addition, the units are tamper proof, with no on/off or selection switches and no adjustable devices.

Ultra Compact
The LM3000 has a very compact form factor ¡V only 1.0¡¨h x 6.3¡¨w x 5.1¡¨d. Two mounting brackets enable these modules to be mounted almost anywhere ¡V on a wall, ceiling, table top or under a counter. This enables it to be used in a variety of applications ¡V on a production line, in a restaurant¡¦s kitchen system, etc. ¡V despite severe space constraints.
