New enhanced modular controller master
Expanding the Modular Controller Series, Red Lion launches the Enhanced Master, with a full-featured web server that allows remote system monitoring and control using a "virtual HMI" interface
The series is comprised of a master module and up to 16 PID modules.
The master communicates PID module data to the external PC or PLC simply by selecting and downloading the proper device driver, and mapping the desired data.
With its RS232/485 and 10-base T Ethernet ports, the master can be connected to almost any device.
It also stores each module's configuration and firmware data so replacement modules do not need to be configured.
The series hot-swap design allows the modules to be replaced while powered up, reducing downtime to a minimum.
The Modular Controller series is configured via Windows compatible Crimson software.
Crimson is an easy to use graphical interface, which provides a means of communication configuration, as well as commissioning and calibration of new systems.
With it's built in PC/PLC drivers and drag-n-drop data mapping, multi-zone integration is reduced to minutes, not hours.
