Red Lion Data Station DA10D and DA30D data acquisition

The Data Station DA10D and DA30D data acquisition and protocol converters from Red Lion are designed to bridge the communication gap between serial, Ethernet and fieldbus devices to unlock data from field equipment such as PLCs, drives and controllers.

Features of the range include point-and-click built-in MQTT connectors and embedded OPC UA server functionality to easily connect to cloud platforms as an IIoT gateway utilising the Red Lion’s Crimson 3.1 software.

With a growing list of over 300 serial, Ethernet and fieldbus drivers, the Data Station provides the freedom to choose best-in-class components for a given application, regardless of vendor.

The protocol converter and data acquisition platforms can act as a part of any plant’s industrial data collection, visualisation and management system, to provide real-time data from virtually any industrial equipment.

Additional options include a data, event and security logger with cryptographic signature support and SQL queries that can be executed periodically or on demand. The platform also offers an optional web server with mobile responsive design, full-screen display suitable for tablet or mobile viewing, HTTPS operation with the provision of certificates, HTTP redirect, CSS and JavaScript support.
