Multi-zone PID Control & Data Acquisition Modular Controller Protocol conversion Control and communication Web server Data logging Crimson 3.0 SoftwarePlatform flexibility for PID Control and data acquisition CSDIO14 CSINI8 CSPID1 CSPID2 Multi-zone process control with dedicated PID modules. Integrating multi-zone PID control into PC, PLC and DCS-based systems now takes only a few minutes with Red Lions Modular Controllers. By lifting the burden of PID control from the controller, expensive I/O cards are avoided and valuable PLC memory and processing power are freed for other tasks. The Modular Controller is comprised of a master module and up to 16 PID modules. With two PID loops per module, a single master can accommodate up to 32 loops, saving space and greatly reducing total comms scan time compared to discrete node solutions. The master communicates PID module data to the external PC, PLC or DCS simply by selecting and downloading the proper device driver, allowing the Modular Controller to communicate in your devices native language. Drag and drop controller data to PLC registers in seconds using point-and-click data mapping from the extensive menu of built-in serial and Ethernet drivers. Its complete integration without writing a single rung of tedious PLC code. With its RS-232/485 and 10/100Base-T Ethernet ports, the master can be connected to almost any device. Hot-swap design and storage of each modules configuration and firmware data automatically programs a replaced module. With the Modular Controllers, not only are programming costs slashed, you can eliminate costly add-on I/O and analog cards and solve applications simply using an inexpensive brick PLC. Data acquisition system with built-in SCADA functionality. Red Lions Modular Controllers are the industrys only data-acquisition system with built-in SCADA-like functionality. With its onboard CompactFlash card, the Master can store any or all data in CSV format, allowing common office applications such as MS Excel to open and chart the data. With its built-in web server, you have remote access to the data files, as well as an innovative virtual HMI. Create intuitive user interface screens as if an HMI were connected and control the process from any networked PC with a standard Internet browser. This alone could save you over 5,000 in SCADA software Monitor 16 modules with up to 14 points each224 I/O with a single master. Mix and match analog or digital even dedicated PID modules. 2
