Red Lion® Introduces Two New Programmable RTUs for Harsh Automation Environments, VT-MIPM-138-D and VT-MIPM-248-D

Red Lion Controls, a manufacturer of innovative technologies dedicated to providing industrial organizations with the ability to access, connect and visualize data, Inc.

announced the release of two new programmable Remote Terminal Units (RTUs), the VT-MIPM-138-D and VT-MIPM-248-D.

Equipped with on-board I/O, the industrial manipulators are designed for superior functionality in extreme environments and are suitable for a variety of rugged, process-oriented applications.

Ideal for use in water and wastewater treatment, oil and gas production, and other advanced automation setups.

The new RTUs provide maximum control independence to meet the demands of today's most demanding industrial processes.

Automatic data logging and time stamping, as well as the logging of trends, alarms and event sequences, provide operators with full visibility into their programs.

The robust IEC 61131 programming and rigging environment in Red Lion Workbench provides extensive programming and troubleshooting capabilities.

The unit also supports ISaGRAF for backward compatibility and has a truly open system design, supporting Ethernet TCP, Modbus, Linux® and more.

The VT RTU is the ideal platform for water and wastewater treatment and oil and gas processing facilities. pre-certified.

Operators can add applications, program and equip as needed, and easily scale from 1 site to over 1000.

Multi-user connectivity is accomplished via 10/100 Ethernet ports, RS232 and RS485. and up to 4 communication ports.

Onboard I/O is a mix of DI, DO, AI and AO. Advanced communication features include exception reporting, store-and-forward, and peer-to-peer networking.

The VT-MIPM-138-D and VT-MIPM-248-D represent the ultimate upgrade for RTUs in extreme industrial environments,” said Jacob Colegrove, Product Director.

For users replacing from the existing Sixnet series, this is a pretty smart pick.

They occupy the same space, have the same I/O counts, offer comprehensive data logging and networking capabilities, and programmable features to accomplish full flexibility.”

Suitable for risky areas and extreme temperatures, the manipulators have an additional operating temperature scale of -40°C to 70°C and are UL Class I, Division 2. CE and ABS Type certified.
