G3 Series
The G3 Series Red Lion HMI is the traditional HMI that has been on the market for a while and has been used in many industrial applications. For less than many stripped-down HMIs, the G3 Series can offer many of the same features included in the Graphite series, except the display is not as advanced. The G3 Series HMI comes standard with three serial comms, Ethernet, protocol converter, USB, and Compact Flash slot. The G3 Series also comes with the free Crimson 3.0.
Kadet Series
TheKadet Series Red Lion HMI offers an inexpensive solution for OEM applications or end users that may not require as many features or a large display. One of the common key features that the G3 Kadet HMIs DOES NOT SUPPORT is data logging. These units come in 4″ and 7″ versions.
