Sleek. Rugged. Flexible. Red Lion is the Best Choice for HMI Panels.
From factories to extreme remote locations, Red Lion's HMI solutions enable customers to easily connect, monitor and
control processes across a diverse range of industries that include manufacturing, oil and gas and water/wastewater.
2
Connect Every Device.
Anywhere. Anytime.
Optimizing the performance of industrial assets can only occur when both
those in the field and in management can see the right data at the right time
and act on it. This is a truth that remains consistent even as the details of
various industrial installations and applications change. From factory floors to
hazardous remote locations, whether simple systems or complex multi-vendor
environments, the ability to connect devices, monitor performance and control
operations is critical to operational success.
This is why Red Lion Controls offers a comprehensive array of HMI operator
panels to address the varying requirements found within the industrial
automation space. With a full spectrum of indoor and outdoor models ranging
in size from 3” through 15” touchscreens, our HMIs give organizations the
ability to select exactly the functionality they need to connect, monitor and
control operations.
By combining powerful features such as web serving and data logging with
built-in protocol conversion, our award-winning HMIs work with over 300
leading industrial protocols to connect disparate systems and devices across
industries that include manufacturing, packaging, oil and gas, water/wastewater
and more.
Whether installing new best-in-class equipment from multiple vendors or
extending the lifespan of existing equipment, Red Lion’s protocol conversion
capabilities provide the path toward seamless equipment integration.
Supporting up to 20 simultaneous protocol conversions, our database of
over 300 industrial drivers offers the most powerful cross-communication
platform available today.
3
More than Machine Access.
With features ranging from protocol conversion to SMS message alerting, Red Lion HMIs are powerful tools
that provide real-time information access—anywhere, anytime.
Unify disparate equipment.
By easily integrating into single or multi-vendor environments,
our HMIs provide the ability to network-enable and web-serve
different devices through a variety of built-in connection methods
that include serial, USB and 10/100Base-T(X) Ethernet ports.
These features allow you to choose best-in-class equipment
from virtually any vendor to create machines, systems and
processes and control them all from a single point. From PLCs
to drives, cameras, PID controllers and more, Red Lion HMIs
unify disparate equipment to help ensure everything
communicates seamlessly.
• Communicate with over 300 major industrial protocols
• Support up to 20 simultaneous protocol conversions
• Convert between serial, USB and Ethernet devices
• Manage multi-vendor environments with ease
Monitor and control remotely.
Web-enabled remote monitoring allows organizations to monitor
and control operations in real time, regardless of where process
operations are occurring. With a built-in web server, our HMIs
provide you with real-time access to remote locations or factory
floor data, even when that data is derived from legacy serialconnected equipment. Virtual HMI capabilities give operators full
control over a remote HMI or simply provide view-only access for
process monitoring.
•
Synchronize logged data between HMIs and remote
FTP sites automatically
• Download, upload and remotely access data and
configuration files from SD card or use a USB drive
to load database and configuration updates
• Use pass-through programming for connected devices
that don't typically allow remote programming
• Provide remote virtual HMI display and/or full control
from any web browser

Stay informed in real time.
A rapid response to issues as they occur can be the difference
between a major crisis and a small hiccup. Red Lion HMIs feature
powerful messaging capabilities that automatically send email or
SMS text messages to notify operators or management should a
process issue occur or if a value moves out of a specified range.
Given the stakes, being proactively notified of issues as they
happen can help you stay on top of operations and give you
the competitive advantage needed today.
• Send email or SMS text messages based on alarms
and system values
• Alert operators or management in real time on
critical processes
Improve performance.
Communicating between devices is an important step in the drive
toward efficiency, but it is only the beginning of overall process
improvement efforts. To be able to truly improve performance
requires review and analysis of cumulative data and results.
The powerful data-logging capabilities found in Red Lion HMIs
allow you to compile data from all connected devices in a
single CSV file, even in the most complex multi-vendor, multiprotocol, multi-device environments. With the ability to store,
view and analyze data locally or transfer it via email, FTP or
posting to custom web pages, our HMIs provide options that
make data logging easy and intuitive.
Save time.
Changing equipment parameters and configurations is
unavoidable, but the time and resources required to program
equipment and protocol converters equates to process and
equipment downtime and reduced productivity. This makes
minimizing the duration of these interruptions critically important.
This is why Red Lion HMIs are programmed using our flagship
Crimson® software, an intuitive, easy-to-use Windows-based
program that combines drag-and-drop simplicity with
unprecedented configuration power. The best part is that
Crimson software is included with every HMI and comes
with free updates and ongoing support.
• Acquire data from connected devices into a single file
• Create batch logs or record data from each batch
run separately
• Store security logs to capture user IDs when performing
tasks as well as note alarm event data
• Create password-protected data screens to segment
data by user
• Automatically push stored data to SQL server for
reporting and analysis
• Configure HMIs with drag-and-drop interface and
programming tools
• Use built-in gateway and protocol converter to quickly
Ethernet-enable connected devices
