Bringing industrial data technology together to transform operations
Keeping you at the cutting edge of DigitAl trAnsformAtion.
In technology, the edge is where the action is. Where new ideas emerge. Where progress happens first.
In today’s complex operations, edge technology is revolutionizing the way information is communicated,
monitored, and controlled.
FlexEdgeTM is a highly scalable IIoT platform that embodies communication technology at its core and layers
on powerful automation features like industry-leading protocol conversion, multichannel alerts, visualization,
data logging, IIoT cloud connectivity, and advanced networking features.
linking yesterDAy, toDAy, AnD tomorrowThe FlexEdge platform includes capabilities to help ensure that your capital investment will stay relevant and
connected for years to come. The FlexEdge platform allows you to connect your equipment’s proprietary protocols
to modern, open standards like OPC UA for enterprise visibility. Red Lion’s protocol driver library adds further value
by unlocking the data already available in existing equipment. The drag-and-drop simplicity of protocol conversion in
our Crimson® software enables you to quickly respond to new needs without costly redevelopment.
As an IIoT gateway, protocol converter, scalable edge controller, and web-based HMI, FlexEdge is your all-in-one
platform for improving productivity at the edge.
secure network communicAtions between locAl AnD wiDe AreA networksThe platform also offers advanced network security features such as a stateful firewall, access control list (ACL),
packet filtering, and VPN connections, all designed to help protect against unwanted intrusions.
Additional benefits include:
• Routing between subnets, allowing users to maintain clean separation within a network by defining logical
boundaries between different functions
• Reduced traffic which, in turn, helps maximize the efficiency of your bandwidth and network
• Network Address Translation (NAT), enabling engineers to create easily manageable, repeatable programs
that can be used across cells or factories without the need for additional costly PLC network interfaces,
all while adding another layer of network security
Additionally, the web-based event engine can be customized to trigger I/O or email alerts,
allowing personnel to be notified about any critical events.

flexible ArchitectureUntil now, modern industrial applications demanded a variety of products to meet their many different
requirements. Red Lion’s modular platform enables users to consolidate a variety of devices into one—for simplified
deployment and easier maintenance. It also allows for a deployment today, with the possibility to address new
requirements without replacing the entire device or losing continuity. With the ability to address up to nine serial
ports, multiple Ethernet ports, Wi-Fi, and cellular communications, the modular architecture adapts to past, present,
and future technologies.
eAsier, fAster, AnD smoother softwAre configurAtionDrag-and-drop configuration, a huge built-in protocol library, and access to critical monitoring and logging features
make connecting assets easier and more error-free than ever. With so many features built into Crimson, a user
doesn’t need any other applications to bridge the communication gap between disparate serial, Ethernet, and
fieldbus devices that have been orphaned by incompatible communications standards; develop intuitive interfaces
for operators; and connect data to ERP and cloud environments.
one plAtform to rule them AllSimplifying deployment architectures allows companies to deploy more quickly without learning new software,
upgrade applications without replacing equipment, and more easily adapt to changing application requirements.
OEMs and system integrators can quickly migrate between Red Lion products without having to fully re-create user
interfaces, reenter data tags or re-write application code, and the highly flexible architecture significantly reduces
development time.
broAD rAnge of certificAtionsWith UL Class 1, Division 2, and ATEX/IECEx certifications, the FlexEdge platform can be safely deployed in
hazardous environments across the globe. With the addition of ABS/DNV, they can also be securely launched in
harsh maritime applications.
wiDe operAting temperAture rAngeThe FlexEdge platform is available in two temperature ranges: an industrial grade -10 to 50oC, and a wide-temp
range of -40 to 75oC designed for the harshest applications. With one of the widest operating temperature ranges in
the industry, no matter where your applications take you, FlexEdge is designed to be there, providing effortless and
secure access to your industrial information.

All-in-One Configuration, Programming, and Visualization Software
With Crimson, simple applications can be set up quickly using a step-by-step process to configure
communications protocols and define data tags. An extensive menu of built-in, point-and-click
serial and Ethernet drivers map data from virtually anything–in seconds.
Delivering a powerful and intuitive set of drag-and-drop configuration, display, and data logging
tools, Crimson was designed specifically to take full advantage of Red Lion’s product architecture.

protocol converterIn legacy environments, widely differing suppliers and vendors make connecting disparate assets and collecting data
from them a costly and time-consuming challenge. FlexEdge includes all the protocols you need to quickly easily
connect, monitor, and control your systems.
ADvAnceD web serverThe advanced web server with JavaScript, Bootstrap, CSS and HMTL5 support delivers operations visibility
anywhere, while the virtual HMI enables an operator to interact with a deployed gateway as if they were standing
in front of it.
cellulAr gAtewAyCellular communication is an easy and secure method to connect to deployed assets to collect data and monitor
productivity. Whether on the factory floor or 1,000 miles away, FlexEdge enables you to collect data, visualize
information, and manage operations effectively. Dual SIM slots, available standard on the FlexEdge cellular
communication sled, add robustness to cellular communication and ensure connectivity where you need it,
while the ease of field installation provides peace of mind that a deployment is future-proof as new
communication standards emerge.
point-AnD-click clouD connectivityConnecting asset data to an IIoT cloud enables businesses to easily monitor and control systems and processes
without having to own and manage the server architecture. Because our cloud connectors are predefined
protocols already within our products, connecting assets to IIoT clouds is simple and straightforward.
More than a platforM. An Answer.
Here’s how FlexEdge solves the three most common
digital transformation challenges.
The challenge: It takes a variety of products to meet modern application
requirements. Often, this demands multiple devices
(for example, protocol converter + visualization + cellular
gateway + micro PLC).
the flexeDge™ solution:As a highly scalable IIoT platform with communication technology at its core and powerful automation features
like industry-leading protocol conversion, visualization, and IIoT cloud connectivity, FlexEdge makes deployment,
management, and upgrading simple and straightforward.
the chAllenge: Modern plant and factory operations are highly complex, with a wide variety of installed technologies—each
supporting a different application and posing unique requirements. As new technologies emerge (e.g., 5G),
previously installed investments are left behind or must be scrapped.
the flexeDge solution:The scalability of the platform extends to provide a customized solution for each application. FlexEdge enables
customization to the application with varying communication sleds combined with scalable, hot-swappable I/O.
The scalability enables future technology trends to be easily incorporated and/or upgraded.
The challenge: To boost efficiency and improve productivity, organizations need to gather and analyze more data, but much
of it is stranded in existing, already-installed assets and cannot be accessed without interfering with existing
production processes.
the flexeDge solution:To help users collect more data, and enable visualization, monitoring, and integration into higher-level systems
(private or public clouds, ERPs, etc.) without interfering with ongoing operations, the FlexEdge platform is designed
to seamlessly integrate within existing automation infrastructures. FlexEdge’s scalability enables customization to
the application with varying communication sleds combined with scalable, hot-swappable I/O, and also allows future
technology trends to be easily incorporated and/or upgraded.
