## Patlite Expands LR5 Signal Tower Series with New LAN Model

Patlite enables direct Ethernet connectivity in traditional stack light signaling with its LR5-LAN Series Φ50 LED signal tower. This new model offers HTTP(S), Modbus/TCP, socket communication, and EtherNet/IP support, eliminating the need for additional I/O cards in connected factory systems.

The LR5-LAN system provides direct network control without the use of local PLC output cards or additional I/O modules. Furthermore, its built-in web configuration feature, optional buzzer signal unit, and network monitoring functions offer easy integration into modern industrial Ethernet environments, along with the advantages of simple installation, maintenance, and system expansion.

### LR5-LAN Series Features

• Φ50 LED signal tower form factor
• HTTP(S), Modbus/TCP, socket communication, and EtherNet/IP protocol support
• Dual configuration: standard LAN model and EtherNet/IP model option
• EDS file registration support for EtherNet/IP model, fast PLC software integration
• Built-in web server for configuration and control command generation directly via browser
• Sample source code support for Windows and Linux
• Structure supporting a maximum of five layers
• Seven predefined LED flash modes (e.g., steady, slow, medium, fast)
• Light and optional buzzer sound signal controlled by network commands
• Continuous network connection monitoring via Ping and Modbus/TCP
• Ability to trigger pre-set responses upon connection loss and recovery
• 24 VDC operating voltage
• IP65 protection class, suitable for direct mounting
• Resistant to industrial ambient temperatures: -20°C to +50°C

Patlite LR5-LAN seamlessly integrates into existing industrial Ethernet infrastructure, enabling signal tower control over standard protocols without physical output cards and intermediate hardware. This reduces the number of system components, simplifies maintenance, and accelerates expansion and update processes in Ethernet-based automation systems.
