Description: Crimson is programming software for Red Lion`s Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs), modular controllers, temperature controllers, and panel meters. This software allows users to setup applications through a step-by-step process to configure communications protocols and define data tags for access. Additionally, Crimson includes drag-and-drop configuration, display, control, and data-logging features. Crimson is included with compatible Red Lion hardware.

Crimson stores data in text files that are compressed and stored on the user`s local drive. Data is manipulated via the standard commands found on the File menu of Crimson. Additionally, Crimson`s Structured Query Language (SQL) Queries category can be used to create SQL queries to extract data from a Microsoft SQL Server database and store it within tags.
