GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ProducTVity Station is a ready to deploy solution for displaying 

productivity information, andon messaging, and process status on any off-the-
shelf TV, PC monitor and even projectors. The PTV leverages over 200 
communications drivers via three independent serial ports and an Ethernet port, 
to connect and collect data from virtually any PLC, drive, bar code scanner, etc. 
Its 720p (1280 x 780 resolution) DVI output is compatible with both 720p and 
1080p/i TVs.

The ProducTVity Station’s built-in data-logger can record any key-

performance indicators, as well as andon events for later review. The PTV can 
synchronize the log files with any FTP server and/or Microsoft’s SQL Server for 
further analysis.

The ProducTVity Station extends production monitoring to remote personnel 

by providing email and text alerts, and its built-in webserver allows productivity 
information to be monitored via any networked PC or smart-phone. If enabled, 
remote personnel can take partial or full control of the system remotely, allowing 
a maintenance person to effect changes without a site visit.

The ProducTVity Station ships complete with a 2GB CompactFlash card, as 

well as a DVI to HDMI cable (15´), and HDMI/DVI adapter. The PTV is 
programmed with Red Lion’s popular Crimson

®

 software.

SOFTWARE

The PTV is programmed with Crimson 3.0 software for Windows

®

 XP 

Service Pack 2 or later platforms. The software is an easy to use, graphical 
interface which allows the configuration of communications, logging, and 
stunning visual displays through simple drag and drop steps.

SAFETY SUMMARY

All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in the 

manual or on equipment must be observed to ensure personal safety and to 
prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment connected to it. If 
equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection 
provided by the equipment may be impaired.

Do not use the controller to directly command motors, valves, or other 

actuators not equipped with safeguards. To do so can be potentially harmful to 
persons or equipment in the event of a fault to the controller. An independent 
and redundant temperature limit indicator with alarm outputs is strongly 
recommended.
