Operator interface modules

October 2001 Operator Interfaces, Switches & Relays

Red Lion's CL01 and CL04 operator interface terminals provide an effective solution for OEM applications where low cost is critical.

They are cost-effective solutions for original equipment designs, using the same EDICT97 software as all other Paradigm operator interfaces.

The CL01 features a 2-line by 20-character text-based liquid crystal display, 3 screen-legendable soft keys, 32 bit maths, 100 alarm point logging capability and two serial ports. The CL40 features a 2-line by 40-character text-based liquid crystal display, 5 screen-legendable soft keys, 32 bit floating point maths, 250 alarm point logging, and three serial ports.

The multiple language feature of EDICT-97 allows each database to be displayed in up to eight languages. This provides the OEM with global compatibility at the touch of a button. OEM/machine builders can use the security system feature to control access to critical functions.

With over 90 drivers already written, the CL01 and CL40 are able to address most PLCs, motion controllers, temperature controllers etc. Event and alarm logging capabilities add to the machine builder's ability to monitor the machine status. Typical applications of these features include machine maintenance and troubleshooting.
