Red Lion Controls Crimson 3.0 ethernet switch monitoring

Red Lion Controls has announced the integration of its Crimson 3.0 configuration software with N-View server software from N-Tron. With this announcement, all N-Tron and Sixnet industrial ethernet switches can be monitored from any locally mounted Red Lion G3 operator interface.

This offers users the benefit of using Red Lion operator interfaces as visible dashboards to monitor, display, log and alert on network status received from N-Tron and Sixnet industrial ethernet switches.

For users with N-Tron switches, the integration of Crimson 3.0 and N-View allows plant managers and IT staff to efficiently monitor a number of different network parameters - including data collisions, received packets, dropped packets, alignment errors and more - from a single dashboard. For customers with Sixnet switches, monitoring is accomplished via Modbus. Advanced data logging features offer users the ability to collect and review network performance history. Email and SMS notification is also available to alert remote personnel of network issues.
