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 G3CN 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 a CANopen communications port. It is built with digital isolation to protect the operator interface from the CANopen bus and vice versa. It provides the ability to communicate to any high speed CANopen device. The G3CN option board has a termination resistor built-in, and is selectable through a jumper setting. A connector housing is provided to function as a strain relief for the wires that terminate into the five position connector. The connector is pluggable for easy removal of the G3 operator interface from the CANopen bus, without disturbing communications with other devices on the bus.

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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Caution: The option and main circuit boards contain static

sensitive components. Before handling the cards, discharge static charges from your body by touching a grounded bare metal object. Ideally, handle the cards at a static controlled clean workstation. Also, handle the cards by the edges only. Dirt, oil, or other contaminants that may contact the cards can adversely affect circuit operation.

Figure 2

Warning: Depending upon the G3 operator interface, high voltage

may be present inside the operator interface. Be sure to remove all power before removing the rear cover of the operator interface.

Each G3CN option card comes with a cable for communications and three screws for attaching the option card to the inside of the G3 operator interface's rear cover.

To install the option card, remove all power and I/O communications cables from the unit. The G3 operator interface literature contains instructions for removing the rear cover. Refer to the “Battery & Time Keeping” section.

Using the three screws provided, connect the option card to the rear cover as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1

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

rear cover.

THE OPTION CARD LABEL

Place the option card label on your rear cover in the space indicated by the

dashed lines and labeled “COMMS EXPANSION MODULE.”

Connect the cable from the option card to CN11 on the main board of the G3 operator interface as shown in Figure 2. Be sure both ends of the cable are firmly seated into their appropriate connector housings.

POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

NEW AND EXISTING INSTALLATIONS

The G3CN option card draws all of its power from the main board of your G3 operator interface. The specifications of your G3 operator interface account for the power needs of an option card.
