Red Lion PAX2C PID controller

The Red Lion PAX2C PID controller is an addition to the PAX2 Series and is claimed to improve flexibility and ease of use for process and temperature control markets. Applications include food and beverage, plastics, packaging, energy, gas, heat treating and glass processing.

The PID controller has field-installable, plug-in option cards, which may simplify configuration by enabling customers to seamlessly use different cards to build their own controllers. This type of flexibility eliminates the need to order additional products to meet changing application requirements.

A dual-line tri-colour display provides at-a-glance visual representation of up to 16 changing alarm conditions with seven programmable colour zones. The display is customisable to allow users full access to bar graphs, annunciators, colour zones and display mnemonics.

The universal input accepts current, voltage, resistance, temperature and process signals all in the same unit. The 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 and firmware and software upgrades are made possible by using a standard built-in USB connector and Red Lion’s Crimson software to support both current needs and future requirements.

The PAX2C’s flexible plug-in option cards allow users to build their own controllers by simply changing cards. This may reduce inventory and lower costs because users need to stock a single controller and several option cards.
