2 2 © Red Lion Controls Inc. FlexBus What is FlexBus?  A parallel bus that expands the option card capability of a PAX2C PID Controller.

3 3 © Red Lion Controls Inc. FlexBus How does FlexBus work?  It adds a new set of option card connectors within a PAX2C PID Controller which allow for new option cards – known as FlexCards – to be used. FlexBus Connectors

4 4 © Red Lion Controls Inc. FlexBus Why do we need FlexBus?  The advantage is that FlexCards are not slot-specific like our existing option cards. This allows the FlexCards to be added to any open slot, and further expands the capability and flexibility of the controller. FlexBus Connectors

5 5 © Red Lion Controls Inc. FlexCards What kind of options are available?  Currently we offer two FlexCards, both are available for the PAX2C PID Controller; –Heater Current Monitor w/ Outputs –PID Controller/2 nd Analog Input Field Installed FlexCards

6 6 © Red Lion Controls Inc. Heater Current Monitor FlexCard What is Heater Current Monitor?  The current of the heater is measured through a current transducer. The transducer output is connected to the HCM FlexCard inside the Controller. A display and/or alarm can be assigned to monitor the “health” of the heater and heater circuit, providing advanced warning of a short or open-circuit, and of heater degradation.

7 7 © Red Lion Controls Inc. PID/ 2 nd Analog Input FlexCard What is the advantage of 2 PID controllers in one unit?  Saves the customer panel space and installation time. In addition, the customer can leverage all the features in the PAX2C like Graphic Bar Graphs, Color Changing Displays, 16 Alarms and the universal PID Control. OR +

8 8 © Red Lion Controls Inc. FlexBus and FlexCards What products feature FlexBus?  The PAX2C is the only product that currently offers FlexBus and FlexCards. Combining this advantage with the PAX2C capabilities provides the market with a controller which has never been seen before. FlexBus Connectors

9 9 © Red Lion Controls Inc. PAX2C PID Controllers Quick Review of PAX2C

10 10 © Red Lion Controls Inc. PX 2 C Universal PID Controller Standard Feature Set  Full PID Controller  Universal Input for Process, Voltage, Current, Resistance, and Temperature  Dual Line Display with Bar Graph  Tri-color Display with 7 Configurable Color Zones  Up to 16 Soft Alarms with Boolean Logic

11 11 © Red Lion Controls Inc. PX 2 C Universal PID Controller Standard Feature Set (continued)  Built-in USB Programming Port  Modbus Communication  Universal Power Supply  Color-Aided Programming  Crimson 2 Software Support  Vertical or Horizontal Models  Firmware Upgradeable

12 12 © Red Lion Controls Inc. Universal Input (one model offers)  DC Current – 250 µADC, 2.5 mADC, 25 mADC, 250 mADC, and 2 ADC  DC Voltage – 250 mVDC, 2 VDC, 10 VDC, 25 VDC, 100 VDC, and 200 VDC  Thermocouple – T, E, J, K, R, S, B, N, and C  RTD – 100 ohm Pt, 120 ohm Nickel, and 10 ohm Copper  Resistance – 100 ohm, 1000 ohm, and 10K ohm Universal Capabilities Universal Power (one model offers)  AC Power – 40 to 250 VAC  DC Power – 21.6 to 250 VDC

13 13 © Red Lion Controls Inc. Display Capabilities  Dual line display, allows two variables to be seen at one time  Tri-color display, programmable for red, orange and green  Display color change, provides visual indication of changing conditions  Custom units and universal annunciators allow the display to be designed for your requirements  Bar graph displays, provides visual feedback of process conditions

14 14 © Red Lion Controls Inc. What is a soft alarm? A condition (alarm) within the controller that allows an action to be taken. Actions could be as simple as a change in display color to direct mapping to a hard output for external control. 1 6 Soft Alarms Control outputs Currently the controller supports up to 4 hard outputs for external control. Those outputs could be in the form of relay, triac, or solid state.

15 15 © Red Lion Controls Inc. Crimson 2 Support Because of the versatility of the controller, you will want to use the software to program it.  Ease of programming  Storing the program  “Software Included”

16 16 © Red Lion Controls Inc. Unlike today’s PID Controller market, the PAX2C offers option cards that can be customer installed in the field. Our Biggest Advantage

17 17 © Red Lion Controls Inc. You Must Order and stock Exactly What You Need! The Competition Machine #1 PID Control with alarms – buy and stock this part number Machine #2 PID Control with alarms and comms – buy and stock this different part number Machine #3 PID Control with alarms and retransmission – buy and stock this different part number

18 18 © Red Lion Controls Inc. Build what you need! Buy and Stock one Controller and a handful of field installable option cards… and support all of your control requirements. Reduce Your Inventory

19 19 © Red Lion Controls Inc. Increase Your Capability and Flexibility Simple Plug-and-Play Communication Cards RS232 RS485 Profibus DeviceNet Setpoint Cards Dual Relay Quad Relay Quad Sinking Quad Sourcing Triac Output Retransmitted Analog 0 to 10 VDC/4 to 20 mA FlexCards (Use any available card slot) Heater Current Monitor w/ Outputs PID Controller/2 nd Analog Input Standard Controller Inputs
