PATLITE (formerly Kasuga Electric) Stacked Signal Light (Ethernet Control) (Φ50) Signal Tower (R) LR5-LAN

Direct LAN control from industrial PC/PLC, simple configuration and easy notification
Before
Contact output boards are used in industrial PC-controlled devices, but as the number of parts increases, inventory and delivery date management becomes more complicated.
After
Signal lights can be controlled directly via HTTP or Modbus/TCP. By not using a contact output board, the number of parts can be reduced, reducing costs and management workload.
Usage scenarios Direct command control is possible from industrial PCs/PLCs.
The contact output board itself and the number of contacts can be reduced.
Notification from the host system
Status and alert displays for SCADA and production management systems are also possible using general-purpose protocols.
By visualizing not only alerts on the monitor but also familiar signal lights on the production floor, information can be grasped immediately and oversights can be prevented.
Easy software design command generation function
After logging in to LR5-LAN from a web browser, you can display commands by selecting the items you want LR5-LAN to operate on the settings screen.
Operation commands can be easily confirmed, eliminating the need to read and understand instruction manuals, reducing software development man-hours.
Sample source code
Sample source code for running LR5-LAN is posted on the product website.
We offer various languages for Windows/Linux, so you can easily try it out in the language you use in your project or in the language you are good at.
Extensive flashing preset patterns
Seven types of LED control preset patterns are available.
Since the blinking operation can be performed using command control alone, the effort required to set clock pulses using a PLC is reduced.
Host device connection confirmation function: You can check the connection with the host device. If the connection with the host is lost, an LED unit will notify you, allowing you to monitor whether the host is alive or not.
Reduced wiring man-hours
Power is supplied at 24V DC and control is possible with an RJ-45 connector LAN cable. Wiring work can be reduced compared to discrete wires.
By using the optional PWS-AD, power can be supplied from an AC 100V outlet, eliminating the need for electrical work. Even if it is difficult to prepare a DC 24V outlet, it can be easily installed without any construction work.
Stackable structure: The same stackable structure as the existing LR series signal lights. Color order and number of rows can be easily changed without tools.
