Red Lion G3PB - 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 G3PB option card adds PROFIBUS DP connectivity to any G3 series
HMI. This allows a high speed exchange of blocks of data, at data rates up to 12
MBaud, between the hosting G3 and a Master PLC on a PROFIBUS network.
The DP suffix refers to “Decentralized Periphery”, which is used to describe
distributed I/O devices connected via a fast serial data link with a central
controller.
The 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.
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.
