Red Lion Temperature Controller – An Important Device To Maintain The Temperature Near Desired Set Point

The process of measuring or detecting the change of temperature in a limited area, in a system or within in an object is called temperature control. After the temperature is found to be abnormal for an on-going process, it is adjusted to the desired set point. A temperature controller is a device, typically installed in a system or specified space to sense or maintain temperature near the desired set point. The controller actually works by switching the heating or cooling devices on or off as and when required. Moreover, it regulates the flow of heat transfer. When talking about a home thermostat, it’s a perfect example of closed control loop. It can be used as a control unit in a cooling or heating system such as an air conditioner or a heater. It has a sensor that measure temperature.

Our consistent efforts and the technological advancement have contributed a lot towards enabling us to discover various types of temperature controllers, including on-off, proportional and PID. But, red lion temperature controller has no match in the market in terms of quality and functionality. It takes an input from a built-in sensor and sends an output to a connected control element such as a heater or fan. The most impressive feature of this controller is its sensor that measures and compares the actual temperature to the desired set point and sends an output to a control system. Before you buy a controller, consider the type of input sensor (thermocouple or RTD) and the type of output required (electromechanical relay, SSR or analog output).

Red Lion Data Station Plus – A Useful Device To Be Used In Remotely Located Processes

A Data station plus is a multipurpose device, globally used as a data analysis and control system in remote applications. Along with a 10/100Mbps Ethernet port, it has three serial ports and selectable communications drivers that enable you to access any piece of information regarding your process or equipment. Moreover, you can collect data from one or more systems, perform 32-bit floating-point maths, store data for further retrieval or send the result to another device. When using this device, you don’t need to understand the protocols being used because it’s installed with Crimson 2 (Red Lion free software) to handle the process.

Its built-in data logger function makes it a useful device to determine the sequence of events that may cause a machine to break down. It also helps the operators detect the flaws in a process and prevent the machine failure. The DSP’s data logger can store information in a simple file format that can be opened with common applications like Microsoft Excel, accessed and used immediately. ‘Alerts- Email/SMS Messaging’ is another impressive feature that eliminates the need of waiting for a call from employees about the machine-down condition. Instead, Red lion data station plus can be programmed to send an email or a text message directly to your cell phone. The increasing demands of these devices in the market remain directly attributable to their enhanced functionality, low maintenance, high accuracy, easy installation and user-friendliness. These devices are available in various specifications as per your different requirements. You can also avail them at market leading prices.
