Red Lion, a manufacturer of technologies that help to empower industrial organizations to access, connect, and visualize data, announced the launch of new strain gauge modules and J1939 and CAN protocol sleds designed to help enhance and scale its 
FlexEdge Intelligent Edge Automation Platform.
The new strain gauge modules are designed to be more easily installable and configurable and come in both SSR output and relay output options. Both offer single loop PID capabilities to monitor, measure, and control equipment. Designed for harsh environments, the modules accept signals from load cell, pressure, and torque bridge transducers. With a software-selectable 5 VDC or 10 VDC stable bridge excitation voltage, each strain gauge module can drive up to four 350W bridges. The inputs are also software selectable for low level inputs at ±20 mV, ±33 mV, and ±200 mV full scale.
In addition to the new strain gauge capabilities, Red Lion launched two field-installable sleds serving either the J1939 or CAN protocol. Providing a more seamless interface between industrial equipment and the controller environment, the protocol sleds can be powered and configured directly from the FlexEdge DA50 or DA70 controller using Red Lion’s Crimson software.
The new modules help to make data easier to gather and be more accurate and actionable in real time. This can help equipment operators and users to drive additional value out of industrial data. The modules are designed to be easier to use, install and configure, which can help equipment operators and users to save time, boost operational performance, improve efficiency, and minimize downtime.
