GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ICM8 is designed to act as an ethernet gateway offering multiple
protocol conversion for Red Lion panel meters. With two serial ports (one
RS232 and one RS485) and a 10 Base-T/100 Ethernet Port, the unit performs
protocol conversion, allowing Red Lion panel meters to communicate
seamlessly to the ethernet network. Programming the unit can be accomplished
via the RS232 or the USB Port using Crimson Software. It is important to note
that this device is designed to function with Red Lion panel meters and will not
offer protocol conversion if a Red Lion Product is not connected to at least one
of the serial ports.
The ICM8’S DIN rail mounting saves time and panel space and snaps easily
onto standard top hat (T) profile DIN rail.
SOFTWARE
The ICM8 is programmed with Windows
®
compatible Crimson software.
The software is an easy to use graphical interface which can be purchased as part
of a kit that includes a manual and cables, or downloaded free of charge from
www.redlion.net.
