PM-50 Graphical Panel Meters

 The Red Lion PM-50 graphical panel meters bring the simplicity of traditional panel displays into the connected era of IIoT. These next-generation meters, available with 3.5-inch or 4.3-inch full-color touchscreens, let operators visualize equipment performance and status in real time with vibrant graphics and intuitive swipe navigation. The PM-50 series frees critical production data from being siloed on the plant floor by providing built-in Wi-Fi along with wired Ethernet and RS-485(Modbus) connectivity, allowing remote access to workflow and process insights via the Red Lion mobile app or any web browser. Visual alarms are integrated into the display, users can configure the screen’s color to change for status alerts or fault conditions, instantly notifying on-site staff, while simultaneous push notifications can be sent to remote personnel through the PM-50 smartphone app. Both sizes have analog and digital input variants, providing models for both counting and rate applications, as well as process, DC current and voltage, and temperature inputs. The base digital 4.3-inch variant is capable of accepting and displaying two inputs at the same time, while the analog 4.3-inch variant provides the same dual input functionality with the addition of Red Lion Analog Input Module (PMM000I0ANI00000).

Applications

• Factory automation and manufacturing equipment: real-time monitoring of machine parameters, production counts, and process variables on the plant floor
• Automotive and robotics systems: monitoring of assembly line metrics, test stand measurements, and robot status indicators to ensure optimal performance
• Packaging and material handling: integration into packaging machines, conveyor systems, and logistic equipment for counting products, timing operations, and displaying throughput rates
• Food and beverage processing: sanitary production line monitoring (e.g. fill levels, flow rates, temperatures) with robust, washdown-resistant panel displays
• Water/wastewater treatment: pump station and process monitoring (flow totals, tank levels, pump run-times) using NEMA 4X rated meters suitable for wet environments
• Oil and gas operations: pipeline and industrial site monitoring for pressure, flow and runtime, using explosion-safe panel meters (UL listed for industrial control) in hazardous locations
• Energy management systems: power monitoring, voltage/current measurements, and generator or battery status displays in utilities and building automation (using AC voltage/current panel meters and large LED displays)
