18. CR1000 Interface Guide
The CCFC can interface to the CR1000 using the RS-232
(default) or RS-485. The RS-232 configuration is the simplest
option as it does not require an additional hardware interface (see
Section 13 RS-232 Communications). The pigtail end of the
CCFC Power & I/O cable can be terminated directly to the
CR1000 wiring panel control ports (COM1-4). Refer to Section 8
Cables/Wiring for wiring details.
The CCFC RS-485 interface can also be used, but does require
the use of an MD485 interface to provide conversion of the RS-
485 signal (see Section 14 RS-485 Communications). The MD485
can connect to the CR1000 using the CS I/O port or the RS-232
port. Refer to the MD485 manual for additional information.
18.1 CR1000 Memory Setup
To facilitate the storage of photos, a CFM100 allows the use of a
compact flash card on the CR1000. Memory can also be allocated
from the CR1000 internal memory to create a virtual user drive –
USR. Entering a non-zero value for the parameter USR:drive size
allocates internal memory for the drive. The amount of memory
required varies depending on each application. A good number to
start with is approximately 1048 Kbytes, which is 25% of the 4M
bytes available on a standard CR1000.
The following methods can be used to set the drive size of the
USR:

The CCFC will not send any files using the PakBus
that are greater than 2 MB.
18.2 CR1000 Files Manager
The Files Manager setting on the CR1000 facilitates the
management of jpeg and avi files that are received from the
