Red Lion G3RS - 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
bandwith channel has significantly greater throughput when compared to the
traditional (external) serial gateway approach.
The G3RS 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 another RS232 port
and RS422/485 port. It is built with isolation to protect equipment from
potentially harmful ground loops, and provides high speed RS232, RS422,
RS485, and DH485 communications for many different types of hardware.
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.
