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 G3DN 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 DeviceNet slave
communications port. It is built with digital isolation to protect the operator
interface from the DeviceNet bus and vice versa. It provides the ability to
communicate to any DeviceNet master. 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 DeviceNet 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.

Control and Laboratory use.

Immunity to Industrial Locations: Reference G3 unit for emissions and

immunity specifications

5. CONSTRUCTION: Installation Category I, Pollution Degree 2.

6. INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS: Card must be installed inside the

rear cover of a G3 operator interface with the hardware provided. See
“Installing the G3DN Option Card” for more details.

INSTALLING THE G3DN OPTION CARD

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.
Emissions EN 55011 Class A.

Each G3DN 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 G3DN 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.
