Option Card for HMI Interface

Red Lion Controls Inc has announced a new expansion card to further increase the communications capabilities of the company’s advanced family of G3 operator interfaces. The G3MPI option card allows G3 HMIs to communicate with Siemens' devices that support the MPI protocol, without requiring the use of a converter cable. The card is simply added to the G3 HMI’s expansion slot during installation. Red Lion G3 operator interface panels – ranging from versatile advanced models to value-based panels for less demanding applications – provide an intuitive interface for connected devices. With the most on-board communications ports of any HMI, G3 operator interface panels allow users to monitor, control or acquire data from thirteen or more devices simultaneously. Featuring integrated Ethernet and a built-in web server and gateway, these operator interface panels facilitate remote monitoring, operation and diagnostics. The company is a leading manufacturer of industrial control solutions worldwide. Products include protocol converters, operator interface panels, process controllers, digital/analog panel meters, sensors, and signal conditioning.
