Gateway Assembly Overview
The Gateway Network Communication Assembly
(referred to as Gateway Assembly throughout this man-
ual) enables various Graco systems to communicate
with PLCs (programmable logic controllers) and network
communication systems. Communication assemblies
are available for many different communication proto-
cols, including Modbus TCP, Ethernet IP, DeviceNet,
and Profibus. The Gateway Assembly supports many
other protocols; contact Graco Technical Assistance for
information to support your desired protocol.
NOTE: Only persons very familiar with their PLC and
Network communication architecture should use this
hardware and software. This manual assumes that the
person using the Gateway Assembly has full under-
standing of the PLC equipment and related software.
NOTE: Network communications essentially operate
with the same rules as Discrete I/O. However, network
communications require placing correct values or
adjusting appropriate bits within various registers
depending on the protocol. Network communications
should only be installed by qualified persons familiar
with this type of communication.
The Red Lion Gateway Module allows for most PLCs to
communicate with the various Graco systems via the
protocol selected by mapping registers from the Graco
system to the PLC or communications hardware of
choice. Software is available to do this, as well as pre-
configured database mappings from Graco for various
Graco systems. As a result, the PLC has full access to
all the registers for monitoring and controlling the Graco
system. It is the responsibility of the integrator or user to
ensure proper configuration of the communication hard-
ware on the PLC side.
NOTE: The Red Lion Gateway Module (Graco part no.
18C235) used in each Gateway Assembly is the core
communication component of all five Gateway
Assembly models covered in this manual. The Red Lion
Gateway Module includes Modbus TCP, Modbus RTU
Serial, and many other protocols.

NOTE: Use of the term “target device” in this section is
consistent with documentation provided by Red Lion
and refers the Red Lion Gateway Module referenced
earlier in this manual.
Red Lion Crimson 3.0/3.1 software provides access to
the Gateway Assembly hardware. The CD provided
includes a preconfigured database which is essentially a
setup file for the Gateway Assembly for various Graco
System Controllers. Refer to your appropriate Graco
system manual for which of the databases to be used,
or contact Graco for optional preconfigured mapping
databases. The database file has a .cd31 extension.
The Gateway Assembly provides conversions for many
protocols, including the following:
• All Allen-Bradley protocols
• DeviceNet
• Ethernet TCP/IP
• Ethernet IP
• Mitsubishi
• Modbus (ASCII, RTU)
• Profibus
• Siemens
NOTE: Graco provides expansion cards for DeviceNet
and Profibus protocols. DeviceNet setup procedures are
on page 32. Profibus setup procedures are on page 35.
See page 24 for Parts.
NOTE: Contact your Graco distributor or Graco Techni-
cal Assistance for information regarding additional sup-
ported protocols.
System Requirements
Crimson 3.1 is designed to run on any version of Micro-
soft Windows from Windows Vista onward. Memory
requirements are modes and any system that meets the
minimum system requirements for its operating system
will be able to run Crimson 3.1. About 600MB of free
disk space will be needed for installation, and you
should ideally have a display with sufficient resolution to
allow the editing of display pages without having to
scroll.
Installing the Software
Crimson 3.1 is supplied as an executable or .exe file.
You will typically have downloaded this file from Red
Lion’s website, but if you have downloaded it from
another source, please check that Windows is satisfied
with the package’s digital signature so that you are
assured of receiving genuine Red Lion software.
1. Disconnect power to the Gateway Assembly and
remove the cover.
2. Connect the USB cable (23, supplied) between the
USB port on the Gateway Module and a USB port
on your PC. See FIG. 18.
3. Connect power to the Gateway Assembly and refer
to the Red Lion Crimson website
(https://redlion.net/red-lion-software/crimson/crimson-31)
for download and usage instructions for the Crimson
Software.
NOTE: The supplied Crimson 3.1 User Manual is
available for download at the Crimson Software web
page at the link in step 3.

4. Follow the PC software installation instructions.
NOTES:
• Connecting the USB cable (23) to the Gateway
Assembly and your PC should automatically load
the proper drivers. Contact Graco Technical
Assistance to ensure the proper drivers are installed
for your PC if there are software installation
difficulties.
• Graco provides preconfigured files of the data
variable mappings for the specific Graco system
connected to your Gateway Assembly. This
configuration may be sent by email or by purchasing
a preconfigured file on an SD Card. Follow the
communications manual for the specific Graco
system used.
• If you’ve followed the instructions that came with
your target hardware, you will not yet have
connected the hardware to your PC. Now that you
have completed the Crimson 3.1 installation, you
may safely connect the device using a standard
USB cable. After some churning, Windows should
indicate that it has found the drivers for the new
hardware and that it is ready for operation. No
further user intervention should be required.
Registration
When you first run Crimson 3.1, you will be offered a
chance to register your software. While registration is
optional, we strongly recommend that you take the
opportunity to provide us with your contact details so
that we can keep you informed about updates to
Crimson 3.1 and the associated products. Since
registration requires an Internet connection, you may
skip the process if you do not have such a connection
available. Crimson 3.1 will periodically remind you if you
are running an unregistered copy of the software.
Checking for Updates
If you have an Internet connection, you can use the
Check for Update command in the Help menu to scan
Red Lion’s website for anew version of Crimson 3.1. If a
later version than the one you are using is found,
Crimson will ask if it should download the upgrade and
update your software automatically. You may also
manually download the upgrade from Red Lion’s
website by visiting the Downloads page within the
Support section.
Troubleshooting
If you connected the target Red Lion Gateway to your
PC before installing Crimson, it is possible that an
aborted installation has made it impossible for you to
install the drivers correctly. To check for this, open the
Windows Device Manager by finding the My Computer
icon, right-clicking and selecting the Manage command.
The exact process for getting to this point will vary from
one operating system to another, but the basic idea is
the same: Find the My Computer icon, either on the
desktop or on your start menu, right-click it and select
Manage. If that doesn’t work, select the System option
from the Control Panel, and activate the Device
Manager from the Hardware tab.
If you have a problem with your USB drivers, you will
see a yellow icon carrying an exclamation point under
the Universal Serial Bus controllers category. The name
of the icon may be HMI or Loader or something similar.
To fix the problem, right-click on the broken device and
select Uninstall from the menu.
After asking for confirmation, Windows will remove the
device from your system. You can now power the
Crimson 3.1 target device off. After a couple of seconds,
reapply power and Windows will start the driver
installation process once again.
As mentioned above, Crimson 3.1 actually uses distinct
device drivers for the boot loader and for the Crimson
runtime. You may have to repeat this repair process for
each driver, although it is unlikely that things got beyond
the boot loader if that install failed.
