GENERALDESCRIPTION
The Graphite
monitor and control equipment in process applications. At the core of the
product is Crimson
engine, that can be configured via Ladder, Function Block, Structured
Text, and Instruction List. Additionally, the Graphite Edge Controller is
optimized for multi-vendor environments with powerful protocol
conversion, built-in data logging and a virtual operator interface for
remotely viewing equipment and processes. The Edge Controller can be
expanded to meet almost any application requirement through the use of
plug-in digital and analog I/O modules that leverage the Graphite
Expansion Racks. The integrated rack port supports 4 GEXRACK2
bases (12 modules). An additional 12 modules can be added using the
USB host port (GEXRACK1, 3 GEXRACK2).
Red Lion’s industry leading protocol library offers access to over 300
drivers including PLCs, drives, cameras, bar code readers and many
other devices providing easy data mapping to PLCs, PCs, and SCADA
Systems. In addition, the Edge Controller can convert over 13 protocols
simultaneously, seamlessly connecting and communicating with
disparate devices. Graphite Edge Controllers offer numerous
communication ports including high-speed RS-232/485 and 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet ports. Additionally, the Edge Controller features built-in
USB host ports for fast downloads of configuration files and access to
trending and data logging information. Eliminate the need for external
protocol converters and use an Edge Controller to connect and control to
all your devices.
The Graphite Edge Controller can be programmed with Red Lion’s
Crimson 3.0 software using a simple drag and drop interface to configure
data tags, virtual displays, protocol conversion and data logging in
minutes. Embedded in Crimson 3.0 software platform is the IEC 61131
control engine, Crimson Control which can be written in 4 programming
languages including Ladder, Function Block, Structured Text, and
Instruction List. The controller comes with Crimson Control functionality
®
Edge Controller is designed to remotely connect,
®
3.0 featuring an embedded IEC61131 control
enabled, without the need for additional equipment or modules.
Red Lion’s Edge Controller is housed in an all-aluminum housing,
which provides reliable operation that can withstand even the most
demanding environments. The result is an industrially-hardened solution
that connects, monitors, and controls disparate equipment in multivendor applications.

SAFETYSUMMARY
All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear
in the manual or on equipment must be observed to ensure personal
safety and to prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment
connected to it. If equipment is used in a manner not specified by the
manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be
impaired.
Do not use the controller to directly command motors, valves, or other
actuators not equipped with safeguards. To do so can be potentially
harmful to persons or equipment in the event of a fault to the unit.
