Wireless LAN Tower Light Series
The MSystem IT40SW, IT50SW and IT60SW Series are preassembled tower lights of 40-mm, 50-mm, and 60-mm diameter LED modules with wireless LAN connectivity. The WLAN access point built in the IP 65 protected tower light is a simple and practical solution for status remote monitoring, data logging, and supervisory control of manufacturing equipment and processes in harsh industrial environment.
The WLAN capability complying with IEEE 802.11b/g/n allows a wide compatibility with MSystem’s and other manufacturers’ remote I/O modules and web-enabled data loggers. This supports versatile applications such as data acquisition and control of multiple machines by a single master PLC located in one without needing hard wiring between each of them or event notification to tablet devices with texts and images from manufacturing equipment.
Wireless LAN Light Features
- Energy saving, maintenance free LED lights
- Remote monitoring and data logging via WLAN network by bridging signals to/from Ethernet Modbus/TCP I/Os
- Wireless LAN access point and infrastructure mode
- Wireless LAN connection complied with IEEE802.11b/g/n
- Bright and even illumination thanks to MSystem’s original reflection system
- Rugged IP 65 construction is ideal for harsh industrial applications
The LED lights are controlled either by local contact inputs or by a host PLC/PC via Modbus/TCP network.
Open Network Capable Tower Light Series
The MSYSTEM IT40S, IT50S and IT60S Series are preassembled tower lights of 40-mm, 50-mm, and 60-mm diameter LED modules. They feature direct control by PLC via Ethernet Modbus/TCP (model: ITxxSRE) or CC-Link (model: ITxxSRC).
Open Network Light Features
- Energy saving, maintenance free LED lights
- Direct Ethernet and CC-Link control saves wiring and cost
- Bright and even illumination thanks toMSystem’s original reflection system
- Number and color of LED modules can be freely combined
- Rugged IP 65 construction is ideal for harsh industrial
In combination with MSystem’s remote I/O modules, local discrete signals can trigger the light modules connected with single network cables via a remote PLC, saving a great part of parallel wiring from sensor devices to the PLC’s input cards, and from the PLC’s output cards to the lights.
Contact input type (ITxxSA1) without network connection is also available for local control.

Red Lion (www.redlion.net), one of the world’s premiere suppliers of process indicators, HMI displays, industrial Ethernet switches and industrial cellular modems, is pleased to announce the new “Graphite” series of touch-screen HMIs.
Why was the new Graphite series needed?
Red Lion’s G3 series has been incredibly successful for the past 10 years. However, with the advancement in high-resolution, sleek technology similar to many new computer tablets and smart-phones, a new series was necessary to take advantage of sleeker displays and powerful graphic engines.
Features include:
- Touch-screen interface
- Smooth, sleek design with rounded edges
- Brilliant display using TFT Widescreen 800×400 pixel resolution
- Fully compatible with Red Lion’s powerful Crimson 3 configuration software
- Two Ethernet Ports, three serial port, USB host and Device Ports
- Data Storage and Logging via SD card
- Direct Analog and Digital Inputs / Outputs installed directly on rear of unit
- Web Server
- Powerful Protocol Converter
All Made in America at Red Lion’s York, PA facility!

Invensys Eurotherm, one of the world’s premiere suppliers of temperature control and data acquisition equipment, is pleased to announce the new “E-Pack” power controller and SCR. In 2009, Eurotherm announced the release of the new E-Power power controller system, which provided advanced configuration, control, diagnostics, and communications in a powe
What problem does it solve?
Many low-amp SCRs are “build-to-order” with the specific control method, amperage, voltage, and options all designed for one specific application. Should anything change with the application, a whole new unit would need to be ordered and the other scrapped.r control package for applications of 150 Amps or higher. Now that same capability is released for a low-amperage SCR design (1-63 Amps).
The New E-Pack features the following:
- Local iPod-like screen for configuration and visualization of process variables
- Two hardware models spanning the entire range from 1 – 63 Amps, with up to 500 Volts available for the voltage feed
- Configuration via computer software or front face
- Built-in unmanaged Ethernet switch with two Ethernet RJ45 ports
- Advanced Load Diagnostics
- Controls comprehensive ranges of loads: resistive, infrared, transformer primary, molybdenum disilicide, silicon carbide
- Energy Usage Measurement available
- Voltage squared, Current squared, and True Power Control
- Modbus TCP standard

The 945U-E and 245U-E Ethernet Modems are now VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) compliant and capable of passing VLAN tagged frames by default. VLAN bridging and Routing Modes are also available which will facilitate a number of different VLAN topologies.
VLAN is a way of splitting a network into groups that could extend beyond a single traditional LAN to groups of LANs each identified with a different VLAN ID (VID).
Enabling VLAN’s will allow the module to facilitate a number of possible VLAN topologies such as:
- Segregating a wireless network into multiple virtual networks
- Function as the wireless backbone on a VLAN trunk and priority handling
- Bridging allows tags to be applied for non-VLAN host devices
- Define multiple virtual networks
Please find information about these products at the following: 245U-E, 945U-E.
