Red Lion G3ENET - 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 G3ENET option card is easily installed by removing the rear cover of
your G3 operator interface, attaching the card using the supplied screws and
connecting a single cable. Installing this card adds an auxiliary 10/100 Ethernet
port to any G3 Series HMI that contains only a single resident port.
The auxiliary Ethernet port provides a means to isolate machine-network
traffic from the plant-wide network, thereby negating the need for an industrial
router. Further, by isolating the machine and plant-wide networks, the system
only requires that a single IP address be provided by the company’s IT group.
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.
