Red Lion G3USB - 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 G3USB 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 a USB host port to the G306A
HMI that is not available on standard units.
Having an on-board USB host port will allow such functionality as file
transfer from CompactFlash to USB memory stick or attachment of peripherals
such as a keyboard or bar code reader.
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.
