Advanced graphic operator interface with modular I/O capabilities
September 2013
Operator Interfaces, Switches & Relays
The new Graphite series from Red Lion Controls merges two of its most successful product platforms into a single modular solution. The nexus of the product is the operator interface panel which offers the technology of the G3 HMI series including protocol conversion, data logging and remote access. Programming the unit is easy using drag and drop selection within the Crimson 3 software allowing complete set-up in minutes, added to that are the new plug-in modules which provide I/O functionality within the framework of the operator interface panel. The I/O modules are similar to the Modular controller series product providing easy interface of sensors, discreet outputs and communication modules. The result is a complete industrial solution that connects, monitors, and controls while providing real-time displays.
The operator interface panels are available in five different panel sizes in wide screen format. The displays are full colour touch panels in VGA, SVGA or XGA and operate as full touch screens. The all-aluminium construction provides robust packaging that can withstand even the most demanding environments.
The units are able to communicate with many types of hardware simultaneously using high-speed RS-232/485 communication ports and Ethernet 10 Base T/100 Base-TX communications. Currently over 250 drivers are selectable in the Crimson Software which allows easy data mapping to PLCs, PCs, and scada systems. In addition, the Graphite series features USB host capability for fast downloads of configuration files and access to trending and data-logging information.
