The most powerful and user-friendly operator panels just got even better, with the addition of an extensive symbol library to Red Lion’s Crimson 2.0 programming software. This powerful enhancement provides a selection of over 4,000 industrial and manufacturing visualizations, including push buttons, tanks, motors and machinery—plus over 60 other categories! Now with just a click of your mouse, you can add professional quality graphics to your G3 display pages.

Using the build-in object browser, you can view the various categories, and then drag the selected image on to your display page. You can rotate or flip the images as required, or even re-color them to get the exact effect you desire. And, since the images are fully scalable without loss of quality, you can precisely adjust them to fit to your application. Crimson also provides the ability to select between multiple images based on a data value—and even to move the image about the screen based on the state of your process—thereby allowing symbols to be animated to provide dynamic indications of plant status.

In addition to the thousands of symbols provided as standard, Crimson 2.0 can also import JPEGs, bitmaps or Windows Metafiles—allowing you to incorporate clipart images from a virtually unlimited number of web sources. And best of all, Crimson 2.0 is still available free-of-charge!
