Red Lion Automation Series

Rugged Standalone Industrial Controller

The Graphite® Edge Controller is a rugged all-in-one industrial solution that reduces cost and complexity by combining IEC 61131 control capabilities with networking and data visualization.

Integrating communication and control into factory automation and process control applications has never been easier. With all-metal construction, a built-in web server, data logging with SD card, and Red Lion’s Crimson® 3.0 software with Crimson Control functionality, our rugged controller operates in the harshest environments to provide a single programming solution for control, networking and data visualization. Simply use industry-standard IEC 61131 programming languages such as ladder logic, function block, structured text and instruction list to develop logic code much like a programmable logic controller (PLC) or remote telemetry unit (RTU) without the added expense of additional software. In addition, select from a variety of I/O, PID control and communications modules to connect, monitor and control a wide array of ﬁeld devices – regardless of location – to meet speciﬁc application requirements.
