Red Lion issued a press release today to announce that our rugged Graphite® Human Machine Interface (HMI) operator panels have been tested to meet ABS (American Bureau of Shipping) standards. ABS approval assures equipment is safe for operation in a manner that protects life, property and the marine environment when used in shipboard and offshore settings. In addition to ABS approval, Graphite HMIs are Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Class I, Division 2 listed for hazardous locations and ATEX and IECEx zone 2/22 approved for potentially explosive environments.
In addition, Red Lion’s compact NT24k™ Ethernet switches have recently received ABS approval as well as EN 50155, EN 50121 and EN 61373 certifications to ensure safe operation on railway rolling stock. With over 100 mixed-media configuration options, our rugged NT24k platform combines the benefits of noise-immune fiber with the versatility of 10, 100, 1000Base copper connectivity to provide a robust migration path across varying industrial applications.
