Slide 23: Event Engine Example
Event Engine Example 1 • A simple liquid level indicator connected to a RAM ® discrete input (DI1) can be configured to trigger an event when the tank level is too high • The register value associated with the liquid level indicator/DI1 is the actual trigger for the event, which then sends a user de
Slide 24: Event Engine Example
Event Engine Example 1 • In this example, we’re configuring an event called Event1 • Data will come from a discrete input, DI1. © Red Lion Controls
Slide 25: Event Engine Example
Event Engine Example 1 • We want to act when the input is a 1 (meaning we’ve gotten a signal from the level sensor). – Discrete inputs are either a 1 or a 0. • In this case, if DI1 remains 1 for 5 seconds, then the event will trigger. – Waiting 5 seconds prevents false positive readings 11/08/2026 ©
Slide 26: Event Engine Example
Event Engine Example 1 • This screen determines what action to take as a result of the previous screen. Level high • If DI1 = 1 for 5 seconds, then send an SMS Message to the phone number listed. 11/08/2026 © Red Lion Controls 26
Slide 27: Event Engine Example
Event Engine Example 2 • Events can be triggered by expressions based on other events this case, Event 1 is true (enabled) only when Event 2 and Event 3 are © Red Lion Controls
Slide 28: Data Logging

Slide 34: What is DNP3?
What is DNP3? • DNP3 stands for Distributed Network Protocol 3rd version. • It came out of the power generation market and was based on serial devices originally. – Its main use today is still in power generation, but has become widely utilized in water/waste water, transportation and oil & gas. © R
Slide 35: DNP3 Architecture
DNP3 Architecture • The basic architecture of a DNP3 setup is Master / Outstation*, although that could include one:one and one:many configurations. • The Red Lion RAM-XXXX family is a DNP3 outstation only, which MUST report to a DNP3 Master to work. *outstations are a/k/a “slave” devices © Red Lion
Slide 36: DNP3 Basics - Events
DNP3 Basics - Events • DNP3 uses “events” inside equipment set up to use this protocol – How the events are used is based on how the driver is configured by the customer / OEM – Events in our devices are stored in NVRAM • However, they are NOT directly readable by an outside program like a text edit
Slide 37: DNP3 Basics – Polling & Classes
DNP3 Basics – Polling & Classes • DNP3 has three polling levels and one integrity poll – The 3 polling levels (classes) allow users to assign different levels of importance to various groups of data tags. – The integrity poll is used to grab all data at one poll to be sure the unit is still active.
Slide 38: DNP3 Basics – Report by Exception
DNP3 Basics – Report by Exception • Report by exception is a feature many customers like and utilize. • If set up in the unit, the DNP3 outstation device will proactively communicate to the master - versus waiting until the next poll – to report new information. – This is also known as “unsolicited
Slide 39: DNP3 Tradeoffs
DNP3 Tradeoffs Advantages Disadvantages • Setting up both polling classes and • Not an easy protocol to set report by exception makes it possible to get highly reliable data AND be up very conservative in the amount of • Original configuration often data transmitted (lower cost to customer) requires
Slide 40: What is MQTT?
What is MQTT? • Some people call MQTT “the communication protocol of IoT.” – In reality, it is one of the communication protocols our products support. (The others are Modbus and DNP3.) • In MQTT communication, there are three terms to know. Client(s) Broker Platform • Any device • Responsible • Con
Slide 41: What is RAMQTT?
What is RAMQTT™? • RAMQTT is Red Lion’s built-in MQTT client that is pre-configured for select IIoT platforms. • Our value proposition is that RAMQTT is very easy & intuitive to use compared to other solutions in the market. – How easy? We’ve been able to show that RAMQTT can be set up and communica
