Large LED display

January 2004 Operator Interfaces, Switches & Relays

When size really does matter, Red Lion's large display, EPAX could be a good choice. The 100 mm red LED display means that the EPAX can be seen from almost anywhere on the plant floor, at distances up to 55 m away. All the features and flexibility of the PAX panel meter series are available in this larger package.

Typically, production target numbers, conveyor line rates - or time of day are just a few of the displays that can easily be made available to the production floor. The EPAX uses plug-in input modules, which allow it to display most any input signal including count, rate, voltage, current, time, or temperature. The input modules can also be fitted with plug-in option cards to increase its capability, including set points, retransmitted analog output, and communication. Communication options include RS232, RS485, Modbus, DeviceNet, and Profibus.
