Industrial IoT Control Panel Design

Industrial IoT Control Panel Design

Introduction: What is IIoT and Why is it Important?


IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) is the network of physical devices, sensors, vehicles, buildings, and other items in an  industrial realm—embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and connectivity that enables these objects to collect and exchange data. Process control IIoT applications used for measuring and monitoring flow, pressure, temperature, vibration and level are found in manufacturing, supply chain management, and smart factories.

Wireless Networking for Connected Devices


A wireless network is a system that allows devices to communicate with each other without the use of a wired connection. Wireless networks are becoming increasingly popular as they are easy to set up, cost-effective, and provide high performance and security for data transmission. They also offer mobility and versatility for users who need to access their data from multiple locations.

Control Panel Design for IIoT Systems


The control panel is the physical interface between the operator and the industrial automation system. It provides local control and monitoring of the process.  Wireless industrial control panels are replacing wired panels in many industries because of the benefits to users and companies:

Industrial IoT Control Panel Solutions:
  • Solve issues with costs and difficulties in traditional hard-wiring.
  • Quickly and locally identify process conditions and alert, alarm, or correct outputs to normalize the process.
  • Efficiently deploy various instruments and controls to interact with the process.
  • Provide easy-to-understand displays showing in-depth information.
  • Provide real-time information to corporate information systems.
  • Are easy to install anywhere, even in remote locations with no power supply.
  • Are more flexible with their use and have applications in many industry types.

    Crimson Configuration Software by Red Lion: Protocol Conversion

    Crimson, by Red Lion, is a powerful set of drag-and-drop configuration, display, control and data logging tools, Crimson works with Red Lion's industrial automation products, including CR1000, CR3000 HMIs, Graphite® HMIs and Graphite Controllers, and E3 I/O™ modules.

    Crimson features support for over 300 protocol drivers, including Modbus RTU and TCP/IP, EtherNet/IP, Emerson ROC, and both DNP3 serial and Ethernet communications. With an intuitive, drag-and-drop graphical user interface and a variety of hardware offerings each supporting multiple simultaneous conversions, customers can easily integrate new functionality into virtually any PLC, PC or SCADA system.

    With Crimson, simple applications can be set up quickly using a step-by-step process to configure communications protocols and define data tags for access. An extensive menu of built-in, point-and-click serial and Ethernet drivers map controller data to PLC registers in seconds. Built-in communications drivers inherently know how to talk to PLCs, PCs or SCADA systems — so no code is required to establish communication.

    Safety Light Curtains to Prevent Injury and Equipment Damage


    Safety light curtains protect personnel from injury and machines from damage by creating a sensing screen that guards machine access points and perimeters. Type 4 safety light curtains protect personnel from injury and machines from damage by guarding points of operation, access, areas and perimeters. Type 2 safety light curtains are a cost-effective light curtain safety solution for guarding lower-risk applications, where the result of an accident is only a slight injury.
