I'm wondering if anyone on this forum has ever setup a VPN on a Red Lion flexedge device. If so 'HELP'. thanks..

View File Crimson 3.0 Simple String Validation Pattern Matcher I developed this for work and thought I would share. It can be used for input validation and we needed it to enable validation of scanner gun input through the USB port. I also use it for serial input validation. Usage is: pattern.isMatch(input string, input pattern) which will return 1 if match, 0 if not a match I have also included toUpperCase and toLowerCase functions for strings. To use in your project, simply copy the pattern program folder to your project. This can be auto-migrated to crimson 3.1. Pattern string syntax is described in the comments or by clicking the guide button. Worth using this testbed to debug your pattern strings before using in a production environment. The controls and bits on the right side of the test page allow you to tab through your pattern and the string and see what matches each char. You can see a mockup of a real world batch-entry view on the "Demo" page and edit the input fields to try to defeat the validation. If you end up using it, toss a thanks my way if you can. If you find any bugs, please let me know. Built with Crimson 3.0 v707.000, tested in built-in emulator and used on Graphite G07s with both Crimson 3.0 and 3.1 runtimes.

 We have been tasked with saving money on equipment within our 4 plants here in the USA. I would like to investigate using low cost HMI's, I've had great success using C-more in the past. Has anyone had any of the several low cost HMI's attached to Emerson PAC (AKA GE Prophecy) PLC's? has there been any connectivity issues? I'd like to try one to replace the Emerson HMI's which are hard to source, and expensive. I believe any time setting up a low cost option would offset the cost of the Emerson, and open up our choices of HMI's and not be boxed in to one brand. We also use Profinet along with Ethernet connection, I believe the Emerson HMI only uses Ethernet (for us) but if there is a Profinet version that is easy to set up, that would make it an easy sale for me.   This HMI would also have to work with the older 90-30 series PLC's, but i'm pretty sure the communications have not changed much from the to the stand alone RSTi-EP and RX3i PLC's. Any advice would be appreciated.  Have a great week. 

I have G310 and need to communicate with a AB PowerFlex 753 via Ethernet (20-COMM-E). I have tinkered with the Allen-Bradley drivers, which appear to be a MSG function, with no success. Has anyone done this?

Hello all, I am using a g10 graphite series HMI from Red Lion. I am trying to figure out a way to have the device use the operators windows logon by calling up the windows security services. Basically a user would have to log on to the HMI with his windows credentials to be able to do anything. I vaguely remember being able to set this up in FT, but FT seems to have a lot more features than the crimson software. Thoughts? Ideas? thanks guys.

This is a problem that shouldn't happen .. It may be due to a defective Network port in the PC. Basically, it's easy to connect to Red Lion G3 HMI's.. using USB, or Ethernet.   Unfortunately there is a flaw with the G315 processor.. and you cannot connect with newer PC's via USB .. and there is no FIX.   However, connecting via Ethernet should be quite easy .. and, I'm able to do it with several old and newer PCs' .. EXCEPT one:   A Dell Latitude E6410.   I don't need help with the Red Lion programming to enable Ethernet communication via TCP/IP ... That's kinda straight forward. (sorta) What I need help with is... what's wrong with my PC ..?  sniff!      I have two similar Dell's  .. one is an ATG model... I've set the fixed LAN IP address the same in both (192.168.0.105).. and I've set the HMI's Ethernet port (789) to an address in the same subset: 192.168.0.20  ...   The E6410 ATG communicates no problem.. the other E6410 ..communication fails.  Everything seems identical in both PC's (well... not totally .. the LAN cards might be different) Anyone ever had this connectivity problem where only one of two identical PC's can connect via Ethernet? Thanks Much... PS: perhaps a suggestion on troubleshooting a LAN Network card? OR..Firewall blocking the HMI connecting...  ?  

Hi all.   I have a Weintek MTV 100 unit and using easy builder to create a screen. I have a Red Lion G15 hooked up to an AB plc. We do a few calcs using the G15 and store the values in tags. I have it also setup with as a  Modbus slave so I am using it as a protocal conversion.   I can see the 5 addresses I have set up with modbus from another PC using Modbus software and also a Modbus scanner.   However I am having difficulty getting the Weintek to talk to it? Can someone give me the exact protocol name of the Modbus protocol emitting from the Red Lion? The first address is simply 400001 so I am sure its not zero based but I seem to be missing something on the Weintek. Any help is much appreciated

Has anybody tried communicating Allen Bradley 5069 Compact logix PLC with Red Lion HMI ?  I am unable to communicate them in spite of adding AB tags via L5K file which gives me no error. I am able to see all the tags in Crimsion 3.0 software in development mode.  However, PLC & HMI are not communicating with each other. I am able to ping to both, using the same program in PLC of which I generated L5K file.  I think it may have something to do with the driver as 5069 is a new line of PLC Rockwell come out with only in 2016.   

Hi guys, I,m using software crimsom3.0 to program a  Modular Controller Red Lion Model CSMSTRZR. I wrote the program and download to Red Lion but don't run.I followed the instructions to configure communications using the user manual, but don't response. What do you thing can be? What step i missed?
