GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The G308 Operator Interface T erminal combines unique capabilities normally expected from high-end units with a very affordable price. It is built around a high performance core with integrated functionality. This core allows the G308 to perform many of the normal features of the Paradigm range of Operator Interfaces while improving and adding new features.

The G308 is able to communicate with many different types of hardware using high-speed RS232/422/485 communications ports and Ethernet 10 Base T/100 Base-TX communications. In addition, the G308 features USB for fast downloads of configuration files and access to trending and data logging. A CompactFlash socket is provided so that Flash cards can be used to collect your trending and data logging information as well as to store larger configuration files.

In addition to accessing and controlling of external resources, the G308 allows a user to easily view and enter information. Users can enter data through the touchscreen or front panel 7-button keypad.

SAFETY SUMMARY

All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in the manual 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.

The protective conductor terminal is bonded to conductive parts of the equipment for safety purposes and must be connected to an external protective earthing system.

WARNING - EXPLOSION HAZARD - SUBSTITUTION OF COMPONENTS MAY IMPAIR SUITABILITY FOR CLASS I, DIVISION 2

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

This operator interface is designed for through-panel mounting. A panel cutout diagram and a template are provided. Care should be taken to remove any loose material from the mounting cut-out to prevent that material from falling into the operator interface during installation. A gasket is provided to enable sealing to NEMA 4X/IP66 specification. Install the 14 kep nuts provided and tighten evenly for uniform gasket compression.

Note: Tightening the kep nuts beyond a maximum of 17 inch-pounds (1.92 N-m) may cause damage to the front panel.

CONNECTING TO EARTH GROUND

The protective conductor terminal is bonded to conductive parts of the equipment for safety purposes and must be connected to an external protective earthing system.

Each G308 has a chassis ground terminal on the back of the unit. Your unit should be connected to earth ground (protective earth).

The chassis ground is not connected to signal common of the unit. Maintaining isolation between earth ground and signal common is not required to operate your unit. But, other equipment connected to this unit may require isolation between signal common and earth ground. To maintain isolation

between signal common and earth ground care must be taken when connections are made to the unit. For example, a power supply with isolation between its

signal common and earth ground must be used. Also, plugging in a USB cable may connect signal common and earth ground.

USB’s shield may be connected to earth ground at the host. USB’s shield in

turn may also be connected to signal common.

POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

The G308C1 requires a 24 VDC power supply rated at 13 W, and the G308A2 requires a 24 VDC power supply rated at 27 W. Your unit may draw considerably less the rated power depending upon the options being used. As additional features are used your unit will draw increasing amounts of power. Items that could cause increases in current are additional communications, optional communications card, CompactFlash card, and other features programmed through Crimson.

In any case, it is very important that the power supply is mounted correctly if the unit is to operate reliably. Please take care to observe the following points:

– The power supply must be mounted close to the unit, with usually not

more than 6 feet (1.8 m) of cable between the supply and the operator interface. Ideally, the shortest length possible should be used.

– The wire used to connect the operator interface’s power supply should

be at least 22-gage wire. If a longer cable run is used, a heavier gage wire should be used. The routing of the cable should be kept away from large contactors, inverters, and other devices which may generate significant electrical noise.

– A power supply with an NEC Class 2 or Limited Power Source (LPS)

and SELV rating is to be used. This type of power supply provides isolation to accessible circuits from hazardous voltage levels generated by a mains power supply due to single faults. SELV is an acronym for “safety extra-low voltage.” Safety extra-low voltage circuits shall exhibit voltages safe to touch both under normal operating conditions and after a single fault, such as a breakdown of a layer of basic insulation or after the failure of a single component has occurred.

WARNING - EXPLOSION HAZARD - DO NOT DISCONNECT

EQUIPMENT WHILE THE CIRCUIT IS LIVE OR UNLESS THE AREA

IS KNOWN TO BE FREE OF IGNITABLE CONCENTRATIONS.

INSTALLING AN OPTION CARD

WARNING - EXPLOSION HAZARD - DO NOT DISCONNECT EQUIPMENT UNLESS POWER HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED AND THE AREA IS KNOWN TO BE NON-HAZARDOUS.

Each option card comes with a cable for communications and three

screws for attaching the option card to the G3’s main board.

To install the option card, remove all power and I/O communications cables from the unit and remove the rear cover. Connect the cable from the option card to the connector on the main board. Be sure both ends of the cable are firmly seated into their appropriate connector housings. Use the three screws provided to mount the option card to the main board as shown in Figure 1.

Carefully replace the rear cover by reversing the instructions for removing the rear cover.
