Red Lion Protocol Converters
Red Lion’s protocol converters allow you to connect different serial, Ethernet and fieldbus devices. Their free and easy-to-use software, Crimson®, is used in all of Red Lion’s protocol converters and HMIs which enables you to collect data from industrial assets. For example, a Siemens PLC can talk to an Allen Bradley drive in seconds with drag and drop register mapping.
