AA Electric & Red Lion offer voltage, current, temperature, process and strain gage meters. More ways to process indication and control. All process variables are scalable to the units you need. Choose from dedicated function models to intelligent solutions that can be enabled for setpoint alarms, communications and analog output with optional plug-in cards.
The quick showcase explains Crimsons power, flexibility and ease. The software works with G3, G3 Kadet, Modular Controller and Data Station Plus products. The presentation illustrates the user friendly, open and accessible workspace, how one uses the navigation and resource panes, and some new features like translation, adding text or data to graphics, mass editing of tags and database conversion. Also included is the point and click steps needed to use Crimson 3.0 for protocol conversion, data logging and web server functions.
More Crimson 3 Videos Available!
Two new video presentations are now available explaining how easy it is to use Crimson 3 software. These Windows Media Presentations feature step by step instructions on how to program a Data Station Plus for Protocol Conversion and Data Logging.
The first video on protocol conversion explains how you can save time and money using a Data Station Plus to avoid communication card setup and dedicated programming in PLCs and other devices. Crimson's simple drag and drop interface allows the mapping of registers from one connected device to another, programming the Data Station Plus to allow the exchange of data between any and all connected devices.
The second video on data logging explains how to create and map data tags to an external device. These tags can be recorded at user-programmable rates, time and date stamped, and stored in a CSV (comma separated variable) file to a CompactFlash card, thus providing the ability to record a system's performance for process improvement.
New Web Server Video
A new video presentation is available demonstrating how easy it is to use Crimson 3.0 software to configure the web server feature that is built into each of our G3 operator interfaces, the SX and GT models of the Modular Controller Master, and the Data Station Plus. The web server is part of the internal hardware of these Red Lion products, so no additional software or modules are needed.
Red Lion devices with the web server feature enabled provide a means to access data log files and allow remote viewing and control of all connected devices, from anywhere in the world. You can use it to monitor a process only or enable full control of your system from a remote computer, a web-enabled phone, PDA or other web enabled device.
Red Lion Crimson 3: Email and Text Messaging
A new video presentation is now available demonstrating how easy it is to use Crimson 3.0 software to enable and configure the automatic email and text messaging capabilities built into our G3 HMIs, the Modular Controller, and the Data Station Plus. This important feature allows vital monitoring of systems and equipment used at remote or unmanned locations.
In the example used in the video, a Data Station Plus equipped with a cellular modem card is configured to monitor a tank level at a remote location. If the tank level reaches 85% or more of capacity, an alarm is triggered causing the Data Station to send an email, a text message, or both to a list of recipients. This feature not only allows personnel to find out about impending problems, it can also be used to notify of scheduled routine maintenance procedures, or to retrieve status log updates, or to send log file attachments.
CUB5 panel meters feature a rugged window that protects the display from damaging UV rays and the yellowing and distortion that comes from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Meters measure dc current and voltage, process meter and sensor signals, and accept inputs from thermocouple and RTD sensors.
