G3 Series HMI, shown
smaller than actual size.

Now you can make complete
integration of your machine a
reality. The G3 HMI Series
features the most on-board
communications ports of any HMI
available, and lets you web- and network­enable many different types of hardware
using integrated Ethernet. Control multiple
devices including PLCs, PCs, drives, PID
controllers and more—at speeds up to 115
kBaud. Three serial ports are standard, and
with an inexpensive expansion card, the
G3 HMI integrated protocol converter can
communicate with as many as five different
device types. No HMI offers that kind of
connectivity at any price. And the best news
is, the G3 HMIs actually cost LESS than
many HMIs with far fewer features.

A Variety of Affordable Models
Deliver the Most Value of Any HMI

G3 HMIs are available in a variety of
models and sizes to meet your machine
requirements. Each model combines unique
capabilities normally expected from high­end units, yet at a very affordable price. One
RS422/485 port and two RS232 ports are
standard, and each port is format and Baud
rate programmable up to 115,200 Baud.
One each RS232 and RS422/485 ports
are available with an option card, providing
up to five comms ports per G3 HMI.

The Easiest and Most Flexible
Software; and It’s Free

Red Lion’s remarkable Crimson 2 software
is a powerful programming platform that
gives the G3 Series a number of exclusive
functions. Its sophistication also makes
all the complex capability of the G3
manageable, with user friendly drag and
drop data mapping. Crimson is universal to
all Red Lion HMIs. And unlike competitive
HMIs that charge you extra for what is often
very cumbersome and difficult proprietary
software, the initial set up of Crimson is very
easy and virtually self-explanatory. Crimson
includes an extensive library of device
drivers to quickly establish communications
between the G3 and virtually any device.
Once communication is established,
anything the G3 can communicate with
is now Ethernet-enabled via the built-in
gateway and protocol converter. This
capability is unavailable in any other HMI
Panel. Best of all, Crimson is free. As
are software updates, support, cabling

instructions and communication drivers.
In fact, if a specific device driver does not
exist, Red Lion will write one for you. Try
finding this level of support and value with
any other HMI!

Integrated Protocol Converter
Has Them All Talking

Crimson features a built in gateway that
converts any attached device’s serial
protocol to 10 Base T/100 Base-TX Ethernet
and automatically web-enables the device.
Disparate serial devices now speak the same
language, and unlike other HMIs that require
you to purchase a protocol converter for
up to $1,000 additional— on the G3 Series,
it’s standard.

Built-In Web Server Offers
Remote Access and Control

The Crimson web server is capable of
providing remote access to the G3 via a
number of mechanisms. First, you can
use Crimson to automatically generate

B-7

web pages that contain lists of tags—each
formatted according to the tag’s properties.
You can also create a custom web site, using
a third party HTML editor such as Microsoft
FrontPage, with code that instructs Crimson
to insert live tag values for realtime
monitoring. And finally, you can enable
Crimson’s Virtual Panel, a unique remote
access and control feature, which allows
a web browser to not only view the G3’s
display in realtime, but control its keypad
and operate any of its Ethernet-enabled
devices remotely. This feature is only
available in the G3 HMI Series.

Multi-Device Data Logging
Capabilities

Crimson allows users to quickly set up any
number of devices in a control application,
collect performance data, display it, store
it for evaluation, or trigger PLC functions
with one panel—either live or remotely.
Data may be recorded as quickly as once
per second and can be acquired from one or
all connected devices. Values are stored in
CSV (comma separated variable) files that
can easily be imported into applications such
as Microsoft Excel. Unique to the G3 HMI,
Crimson’s web server can be used to expose
various data via the G3 panel’s Ethernet
port, allowing remote access to diagnostic
information, or to the values recorded by the
data logger.

Lower Manpower and Travel Costs

Why check up on equipment performance manually when you can have the process
notify you of pending failure?

The G3 series can connect via Ethernet, landline modems, or even cellular modems
to reach you anywhere in the world. With built-in email and text messaging
functions, the G3 allows you to focus only on the areas of concern.

Faster Configuration
and Programming

Crimson 2 is a powerful set of icon-based,
configuration, display, control and data

Virtually Unlimited Data Storage
with CompactFlash

An integrated CompactFlash slot
accommodates inexpensive and readily
available Type I and II CompactFlash cards
that lets you collect, retain and transfer data
easily. If you need to update the database
within a machine that is already installed at a
customer’s site, Crimson allows you to save
a copy of the database to a CompactFlash
card, ship that card to your customer,
and have the G3 load the database from
that card.

Faster Data Transfer and
Downloading with USB

The G3 HMI Series features a convenient
USB port for fast downloads of configuration
files from a PC as well as trending and data
logging uploads to your PC for analysis.

Powerful Processing

The G3 HMI Series features an onboard
32-bit processor for unmatched computing
capability. The full-featured Crimson
software contains a built in “C” compiler
to create custom programs for complex
applications, recipe handling, realtime
scheduling, math expression evaluation
and much more.

logging tools designed specifically to
take full advantage of the G3 HMI Series
architecture. The majority of simple
applications can be quickly set up using
a step-by-step process to configure
communications protocols, define the
data tags to be accessed, and create the
user interface. A full set of drag and drop
graphical items makes creation of the
interface easy while yielding professional
results. More advanced features, such as
programming, data logging and configuring
the G3’s web server, are intuitive and
easily enabled.

The Lowest Priced,
Full-Featured HMIs

For less than many stripped-down HMIs,
you can add the powerful capabilities and
ease of use found only in the G3 HMI Series.
The G3 Series come standard with three
serial comms, Ethernet, protocol converter,
USB, and CompactFlash slot. And at no
extra charge, you get full-featured Crimson
2 software with drag and drop configuration
and data tagging, easy-to-use interface tools,
flexible programming environment, powerful
data logging, and our exclusive Virtual
Panel and web server capabilities for remote
access and control.

The Only HMI That Web-Enables Any Device for
Remote Operation Across Your LAN or the Internet

Red Lion’s G3 HMI Series is not
only the first to communicate
with up to five different types of
serial devices simultaneously,
but lets you access, monitor and
control these devices remotely—
from across your network, or
around the globe.
