INTRODUCTION
The Data Logger Models DL-1080/1081, hereafter, will be referred to in this document as Data Logger.
The Data Logger is a high-resolution and high-speed data acquisition and logging equipment for analog and digital
signals. The result of an advanced technological development, the product is distinguished in diverse aspects, such as
high-performance, high-connectivity and ease of configuration and operation. This technology is presented as the ideal
solution for applications that require flexibility and functionality for diverse communication networks.
Its main features include:
•Analog inputs: 8
•Digital inputs/outputs: 8
•Relay outputs: 2
•2 MB internal memory
•SD Card interface (up to 16 GB – not available in some models)
•RS485 interface
oMain: Modbus RTU master and slave
oAuxiliary (DB9 connector – not available in some models): Modbus RTU slave
•Ethernet services (not available in some models):
oDHCP
oHTTP (web page)
oFTP (client and server)
oSMTP (e-mails sending)
oSNMP
oModbus TCP
•USB:
oHost
oDevice
•DISPLAY (HMI - human-machine interface [DISPLAY] – optional)
There are four input channel types in the Data Logger: analog, digital, remote and virtual. Analog and digital channels
are those acquired directly by Data Logger through their respective inputs. The remote channels are those acquired
through Modbus RTU protocol, operating as master on its RS485 interface. Virtual channels are a special type of input
channel where mathematical operations can be carried out, allowing the calculation of complex formulas from the
measured information.
The analog input channels are configurable for reading voltage, current, thermocouples, Pt100 and Pt1000 signals.
These inputs count on the precision of a 24 bit A/D converter with high acquisition speed, which can reach 1000 samples
per second. The digital channels can be configured individually as inputs or outputs.
The Ethernet interface allows data download and data access of the inputs and outputs, through services that can be
individually enabled and configured. Through a web browser (HTTP), one can visualize the data of the enabled channel,
diagnostics and general information of the Data Logger. FTP client can be used for logging data downloads. Data
Logger can identify up to 32 distinct alarm conditions, allowing the triggering of outputs, sending e-mails or SNMP traps
whenever an alarm condition is detected. All the information relative to the variables, status and diagnostics of the Data
Logger are available in Modbus registers that can be accessed through the Modbus TCP interface or the Modbus RTU
interface available either through USB interface (device) or RS485 (when operating as slave).
The USB Interface device is used for connection to a computer for configuration, monitoring or download. Whereas the
USB interface host is used for connection of a USB flash drive, for data downloading from the logging memory.
The data logging memory can be transferred by any of the interfaces to the configuration software, which allows the
exportation for the most diverse data formats.
When the indication of the measured data from the process is necessary, an exclusive color graphical DISPLAY
(Human-Machine Interface) can be attached or installed remotely (optional).
NOTE: The DISPLAY is also referred to as HMI in the software provided with the data logger.

CONNECTIONS AND INSTALLATION
When unpacking, remove the insulating film of the Data Logger battery
, located below
the chassis according to Fig. 01, before carrying through the electrical
wiring and
configuration.
Fig. 01 – Insulating film of the battery
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
Data Logger chassis can be installed on a 35 mm DIN rail.
For the installation on the rail, you must pull out the two clamps located right below the connections of the channels,
taking care not to remove them, as per Fig. 02.
Note: If necessary, the connector may be removed for installation of DIN rail.

Afterwards, attach the Data Logger to the rail according to Fig. 03.
Fig. 03 - DIN rail installation
Finally, push the two clasps up until you hear a double-click to complete the installation, as shown in Fig. 04.

ATTACHING AND DETACHING THE FRONT COVER
NOTE: The DISPLAY is also referred to as HMI in the software provided with the data logger.
When detaching the front cover, pull the lever at the right side of the Data Logger up to the end.
When attaching it, insert the cover (left side first) and press its right side gently. After that, press the lever back into the
chassis.

ATTACHING AND DETACHING THE DISPLAY
NOTE: The DISPLAY is also referred to as HMI in the software provided with the data logger.
When detaching the DISPLAY, pull up the lever at the right side of the Data Logger up to the end.
When attaching it, insert the DISPLAY (left side first) and press its right side until DB9 connectors are firmly connected.
After that, press the lever down into the chassis.

SAFETY SUMMARY
The symbols below are used on the equipment and throughout this document to draw the user’s attention to important
operational and safety information.
CAUTION or WARNING:
Read complete instructions
prior to installation and
operation of the unit.
CAUTION or WARNING:
Electrical Shock Hazard
DOUBLE INSULATION
The Data Logger power supply
is double insulated, represented
by the above symbol printed on
the equipment’s connection
label.
POWER INPUT
The Data Logger may be
powered from either AC or
DC power source.
All safety related instructions that appear in the manual must be observed to ensure personal safety and to prevent
damage to either the instrument or the system. If the instrument is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer,
the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.

Fig. 12 - Data Logger front panel
The Data Logger has two rows of terminals. Among them are the following items: Ethernet, input connections, power
supply, output relays, auxiliary power supply output, digital inputs and serial communication. This information is identified
according to Fig. 13 and Fig. 14:
Fig. 13 - Upper side connections
NOTES: 1) An external protection device consisting of a 0.5A slow blow fuse (UL Listed) must be wired near to the Data Logger.
2) A switch or circuit-breaker placed near to the Data Logger shall be used as the disconnecting device.
Fig. 14 - Lower side connections
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR INSTALLATION
•Input signal leads must be installed in grounded conduits and away from power or contactor wires.
•Instruments must be powered only by an exclusive power supply.
•Installing RC filters (47Ωand 100nF, serial) is strongly recommended at contactor coils or any other inductors.
•System failure should always be taken into account when designing a control panel to avoid irreversible damage to
equipment or injury to people. The RL1 and RL2 output relays, used as alarms, do not warrant total protection.
•Wiring section: minimum gauge 0.14 mm².
