The Graphite Edge Controller is designed to remotely connect, monitor and control equipment in process applications. At the core of the product is Crimson 3.0 featuring an embedded IEC61131 controlengine, that can be configured via Ladder, Function Block, Structured Text, and Instruction List. Additionally, the Graphite Edge Controller is optimized for multi‑vendor environments with powerful protocol conversion, built‑in data logging and a virtual operator interface for remotely viewing equipment and processes.
The Edge Controller can be expanded to meet almost any application requirement through the use of plug‑in digital and analog I/O modules that leverage the Graphite Expansion Racks. The integrated rack port supports 4 GEXRACK2 bases (12 modules). An additional 12 modules can be added using the USB host port (GEXRACK1, 3 GEXRACK2).
Red Lion's industry leading protocol library offers access to over 300 drivers including PLCs, drives, cameras, bar code readers and many other devices providing easy data mapping to PLCs, PCs, and SCADA Systems. In addition, the Edge Controller can convert over 13 protocols simultaneously, seamlessly connecting and communicating with disparate devices. Graphite Edge Controllers offer numerous communication ports including high‑speed RS‑232/485 and 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet ports. Additionally, the Edge Controller features built‑in USB host ports for fast downloads of configuration files and access to trending and data logging information.
Eliminate the need for external protocol converters and use an Edge Controller to connect and control to all your devices. The Graphite Edge Controller can be programmed with Red Lion's Crimson 3.0 software using a simple drag and drop interface to configure data tags, virtual displays, protocol conversion and data logging in minutes. Embedded in Crimson 3.0 software platform is the IEC 61131 control engine, Crimson Control which can be written in 4 programming languages including Ladder, Function Block, Structured Text, and Instruction List. The controller comes with Crimson Control functionality.
