October 2, 2012 – Red Lion Controls released the PAX2C PID controller, which is designed specifically for the process and temperature control markets. Applications include food & beverage, plastics, packaging, energy, gas, heat treating and glass processing.
The PAX2C’s features include:
- Field installable plug-in option cards – simplifies configuration by enabling customers to seamlessly use different cards to build their own controllers.
- Dual-line tri-color display – provides at-a-glance visual representation of up to 16 changing alarm conditions with 7 programmable color zones; customizable to allow users full access to bar graphs, annunciators, color zones and display mnemonics.
- Universal input – accepts current, voltage, resistance, temperature and process signals all in the same unit.
- Universal power supply – accepts AC or DC power, and is ready to plug in “out of the box” for fast, easy installation regardless of power polarity.
- Easy programming, firmware and software upgrades – using a standard built-in USB connector and Red Lion’s Crimson software to support both current needs and future requirements.
