GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 4.3-inch G3 Kadet was designed for applications in which available
mounting space is at a premium. Though diminutive in size, the Kadet boasts a
bright TFT display with full 256-color support. With a resolution of 480 x 272,
the Kadet’s 4.3-inch display has a higher resolution and better image clarity than
most 6-inch HMIs.
The G3 Kadet offers two high-speed serial ports in the form of one RS-232
and one RS-232/422/485 ports. This allows the Kadet to simultaneously
communicate with devices from different manufacturers, as well as to perform
protocol conversion.
The G3 Kadet range of HMIs is programmed with Red Lion’s free Crimson
2.0 software. Crimson 2.0 offers easy to use drag and drop communications
configuration, while the embedded image library allows the programmer to
create intuitive screens and prompts for the operator.
