Red Lion Crimson 3.2 edge controller software

Red Lion has released version 3.2 of its Crimson software to complement its FlexEdge platform, which includes the DA50 and DA70. This fusion technology enables a single FlexEdge controller to provide advanced networking, security and automation. By integrating information technology and operational technology, FlexEdge is designed to help reduce costs, improve data security and increase productivity.

As part of the update, advanced network capabilities including routing, VLAN support, VPN client/server and certificate management features have been added. In addition, the symbol library and primitives have expanded for creative interface design such as anti-aliased rendering.

Users can securely monitor and control applications from a remote location using the Crimson 3.2 enhanced web server, with its mobile responsive design, a full-screen display option ideal for tablet or mobile display, HTTPS operation with the provision of certificates, HTTP redirect, CSS and JavaScript support. In addition, Crimson 3.2 now also supports a system-based web server for real-time system configuration and management.

Support for over 300 protocols, including Modbus RTU, TCP/IP, EtherNet/IP, Emerson ROC, and both DNP3 serial and Ethernet communications, is also available.
