Unprecedented HMI Operator Interface Configuration & Control

 HMI Operator Interface Configuration & ControlChoose from over 300 drivers

With Crimson, simple applications can be set up quickly using a step-by-step process to configure communications protocols and define data tags for access. An extensive menu of built-in, point-and-click serial and Ethernet drivers map controller data to PLC registers in seconds. Built-in communications drivers inherently know how to talk to PLCs, PCs or SCADA systems—so no code is required to establish communication.

Red Lion’s Crimson software is a remarkable programming platform.

Delivering a powerful set of drag-and-drop configuration, display, control and data logging tools, Crimson was designed specifically to take full advantage of Red Lion's product architecture.

Red Lion's CR1000, CR3000Graphite and G3 HMIs, Graphite Core and Edge controllers, Modular Controller and Data Station Plus products have access to the widest used protocols in the automation market.

Here are just a few of the exclusive features and capabilities included with Crimson:
