.jpg) March 9, 2009 - Red Lion Controls introduces the G3 Kadet Operator Interface Series. Based on the company's G3 line of touchscreen HMIs, the G3 Kadet Series delivers a value-based alternative solution for applications that don’t require FTP access, data logging and web server capabilities. Featuring the essential interface and connectivity features of the G3 Series, as well as the same rugged construction and easy-to-use interface, the G3 Kadet Series delivers a cost-effective solution for enabling simple communications between multiple devices and protocols in a broad range of OEM and machine monitoring and control applications. The robust G3 Kadet Series features a highly visible color TFT display and is available in three sizes: 4.3", 5.6" and 8". All models come standard with one RS-232 port and one RS-232/422/485 port, and support over 170 different protocols. Additionally, the 5.6" and 8" models include a third RS-232/422/485 serial port and integrated Ethernet, allowing simultaneous communication with up to seven device types, including PLCs, PCs, drives, PID controllers and more. G3 Kadet Series operator interface terminals deliver powerful protocol conversion and data acquisition tools for efficient process monitoring and control. Plus, these HMIs can be simply configured with free Red Lion Crimson software, that features drag-and-drop data mapping and extensive libraries of pre-configured device drivers and graphical elements. Applications: The G3 Kadet Series incorporates advanced communications and data management into a single, easy-to-use platform suited for numerous machine monitoring and control applications, including: In addition, several features of the G3 Kadet Operator Interface Series make it particularly easy to set up and use: "Our customers were looking for an HMI with the same reliability, ruggedness and powerful insight into their process as the G3 Series—designed specifically for applications that don't need web-serving, data logging or a keypad," said Jesse Benefiel, Red Lion Product Manager. "The G3 Kadet Series does just that. With a cost-effective price tag and far more features than other low-cost HMIs, the G3 Kadet Series provides an advanced interface that is ideal for OEMs, discrete machinery and process machinery." Red Lion Controls, Inc. is a leading manufacturer of industrial control solutions worldwide. Products include digital/analog control and monitoring, panel meters, PID control, human-machine interface panels, signal conditioning, protocol conversion and data logging products. |
