Red Lion: New VT-MIPM-138-D and VT-MIPM-248-D Programmable RTUs for Rugged Automation Environments

August 20, 2024

Red Lion is pleased to announce the launch of two new programmable Remote Terminal Units (RTUs), VT-MIPM-138-D and VT-MIPM-248-D.

Equipped with onboard I/O and designed for uncompromising performance in extreme environments, the industrial controllers are ideal for a wide range of rugged, process-oriented applications in water and wastewater processing, oil and gas production and other advanced automation settings.

The new RTUs deliver maximum standalone control over today’s toughest industrial processes. Automatic datalogging and timestamping, as well as logging of trends, alarms and sequences of events, give operators full visibility on their applications. A robust IEC 61131 programming and configuration environment in Red Lion Workbench provides extensive programming and troubleshooting capability. The unit also supports ISaGRAF for backward compatibility and has a true open system design, with Ethernet TCP, Modbus, Linux and more.

An ideal platform for water, wastewater and oil and gas processing facilities, the VT RTUs come pre-certified, letting operators add applications as desired, program and configure as needed and scale up easily, from 1 to 1000+ stations. Multi-user connectivity is enabled via 10/100 Ethernet ports, RS232 and RS485 and up to 4 communications ports. Onboard I/O is a mixture of DI, DO, AI and AO. Advanced communication capabilities include report on exception, store and forward and peer-to-peer networking.

“The VT-MIPM-138-D and VT-MIPM-248-D units represent the ultimate RTU upgrade for extreme industrial settings,” said Jacob Colegrove, Product Manager. “For operators moving from an existing Sixnet series, it’s the obvious choice. They share the same footprint, has equivalent I/O count, offer comprehensive data logging and networking functionality, plus programmable features for full flexibility.”

Suitable for hazardous areas and extreme temperatures, the controllers are rated for operating temperatures of -40°C to 70°C and have UL Class I, Division 2, CE, and ABS Type certifications.
