Red Lion G3CN - Manual

1
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The G3 proprietary expansion slot provides a high speed, parallel architecture
that extends the functionality and flexibility of the G3 series HMI. This
approach allows the G3 series to evolve concurrently with the latest advances in
communications and standards, without sacrificing performance. This high
bandwidth channel has significantly greater throughput when compared to the
traditional (external) serial gateway approach.
The G3CN option card is easily installed by removing the rear cover of your
G3 operator interface, attaching the card using three screws and connecting a
single cable. Adding this card gives the operator interface a CANopen
communications port. It is built with digital isolation to protect the operator
interface from the CANopen bus and vice versa. It provides the ability to
communicate to any high speed CANopen device. The G3CN option board has
a termination resistor built-in, and is selectable through a jumper setting. A
connector housing is provided to function as a strain relief for the wires that
terminate into the five position connector. The connector is pluggable for easy
removal of the G3 operator interface from the CANopen bus, without disturbing
communications with other devices on the bus.
SAFETY SUMMARY
All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in the
literature 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.
