Rugged operator interface panels
16 October 2013
The Graphite series of advanced operator interface panels from Red Lion Controls is reported to be the first rugged HMI solution to combine a wide range of versatile plug-in modules with protocol conversion, data logging and web-based monitoring and control.

Of cast-aluminum construction, the Graphite series allows users to easily connect, monitor and control processes across industries including manufacturing, oil and gas, and water/wastewater.
Eight models are available in sizes ranging from 7 to 15in, with sleek bezels that provide a relatively large display given their overall dimension. The 7 and 10in HMIs are available as sunlight visible models. Combined with Graphite’s rugged packaging, these models are ideal for harsh outdoor environments.
