GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The G315C Operator Interface combines powerful features normally found
only in PC-based HMIs, with the reliability of a dedicated operating system. It
is built around a high performance core with integrated features, allowing it to
provide SCADA-like functionality at a fraction of the cost.

The G315C is able to act as a multiple protocol converter using four high­speed RS232/422/485 communications ports and an Ethernet 10/100 Base-TX
port. The Ethernet port supports up to four protocols simultaneously, allowing
dissimilar Ethernet based products to communicate with one another.

The G315C’s USB port allows fast downloads of configuration files and
access to trending and data logging. A CompactFlash socket is provided so that
standard ComplactFlash cards can be used to collect your trending and data
logging information as well as to store configuration files. The built-in web
server allows processes to be controlled remotely.

The G315C’s large, high-resolution display allows users to easily view and
enter information. Data can be manipulated through the touchscreen and/or the
10-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.

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

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 Type 4X/IP66 specification. Install the 22 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

Each G315C has a chassis ground terminal on the back of the unit. Your unit

should be connected to earth ground.

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.

1

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

1

in turn may also be connected to signal common.

POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

The G315C requires a 24 VDC power supply. Your unit may draw
considerably less than the maximum 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.
