Red Lion G3 HMIs

Red Lion G3 Series HMIs can now conveniently allow a machine operator to deliver specific vision sensor controls while seeing exact images of the entire sensing area on the G3’s bright display.
“A number of built-in features make the G3 Series ideal for integration into a wide variety of vision sensing applications using Banner vision sensors,” said Jesse Benefiel, Interface & Control Product Manager for Red Lion. “Because the G3 offers all the necessary tools built directly into the interface, operation and system-wide integration of Banner’s cameras is much more convenient all via a single Ethernet connection.” Benefiel added, “Sensor positioning as well as inspection file transfer for varying batches or product control can now be done without a PC.”
“The G3 touch screens can deliver many practical PresencePLUS sensor controls and feedback to a machine operator,” said Jeff Schmitz, Corporate Business Manager for Banner Vision Sensors. “A machine designer can configure a G3 for specific sensor operations such as switching inspection files for different product batches, archiving and running additional inspections, uploading barcode data and displaying images of failed product.”
The G3 Series features a built-in image driver that allows the integration of multiple Banner vision sensors; the G3 supports Banner’s full line of PresencePLUS sensors.
With its multiple-protocol Ethernet port, the G3 can connect to the vision sensor, as well as to PLCs and PCs simultaneously.
