Red Lion Controls has announced the
availability of its new rugged E3 I/O™ module platform, a set of 17 high-density I/O
modules with hardened metal enclosures and powerful communication options. This
versatile platform marks Red Lion’s first rugged I/O modules configurable using
Crimson® 3.0 software.
Designed to withstand the critical demands of localized
and distributed I/O applications, Red Lion’s Crimson-enabled E3 I/O modules
feature robust networking capabilities with redundant Ethernet ports and
built-in serial communication. With one RS-485 terminal block and dual Ethernet
ports that include user-selectable Ethernet modes for ring, pass through and
two network, the easy-to-deploy E3 I/O modules can eliminate the need for
additional switching devices. In addition, these modules offer up to 34 mixed
I/O points including input/output, analog/discrete and temperature I/O for
complex industrial applications.
“Customers today are demanding
both more I/O connectivity and mixed I/O types – digital, analog or
temperature – because of the variety of sensors and inputs needed to monitor
complex systems,” said Paul Bunnell, director of automation product management
at Red Lion Controls. “To keep industrial operations running smoothly,
organizations require easy-to-configure equipment with multiple connectivity
options and rugged enclosures that enable reliable performance in harsh
environments.”
Available in DIN-rail and
panel-mount form factors, Red Lion’s E3 I/O modules feature rugged metal
enclosures to support wide environmental tolerances and enable seamless
integration into any industrial environment. Wide -40° to 75°C operating
temperature, high shock and vibration ratings coupled with industry certifications
that include UL Class I, Division 2 listing, ATEX and IECEx (model specific) approvals make
each E3 I/O module safe for use with industrial control equipment in hazardous
locations around the world. Developed for industries including oil and gas,
water, utilities, marine, transportation and mining, the E3 I/O module platform
is ideal for critical-uptime applications where customers need to expand I/O
for devices such as Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs) or standalone deployments.
