Red Lion Controls E3-MIX24880-1 Industrial IO Module

Red Lion Controls E3-MIX24880-1 is a rugged 32 mixed I/O Ethernet I/O module in the E3 family, designed to expand a control system with distributed digital input and output points. The MIX designation indicates a mixed set of input and output channels on a single, compact module, and the device includes 8 solid-state outputs for fast, solid-state switching of loads such as relays or indicators. Configurable and monitored with Red Lion’s Crimson software (Crimson 3.0), it enables straightforward IO mapping, thresholding, polling, and visualization without bespoke PLC programming. The E3-MIX24880-1 is intended for use as a remote I/O extension on Red Lion RTUs or controllers and can operate on standard industrial networks through Modbus TCP/RTU, depending on the host configuration. Red Lion’s E3 series is described as rugged Ethernet I/O modules built for industrial environments, offering reliable performance on factory floors, water and wastewater facilities, and packaging lines. Typical applications include sensing from digital inputs—such as sensors and switches—and driving outputs to control devices like relays and indicators, all wired per the E3 hardware guide for safe and robust field wiring. This model’s combination of 32 mixed I/O points and configurable software integration makes it a versatile choice when you need scalable, networked I/O in a compact form factor.
