INTERFACE TERMINAL INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION HARDWARE INCLUDED WITH CARD GENERAL DESCRIPTION CONTENTS OF PACKAGE The G3 proprietary expansion slot provides a high speed, parallel architecture - G3RS Option Card that extends the functionality and flexibility of the G3 series HMI. This - Cable already attached to G3RS option card approach allows the G3 series to evolve concurrently with the latest advances in - Hardware pack consisting of three screws communications and standards, without sacrificing performance. This high - This hardware bulletin bandwith channel has significantly greater throughput when compared to the traditional (external) serial gateway approach. ORDERING INFORMATION The G3RS option card is easily installed by removing the rear cover of your G3 operator interface, attaching the card using three screws and connecting a MODEL NO. DESCRIPTION PART NUMBER single cable. Adding this card gives the operator interface another RS232 port RS232/485 option card for G3 operator interfaces and RS422/485 port. It is built with isolation to protect equipment from G3RS G3RS0000 with isolated high speed communications ports potentially harmful ground loops, and provides high speed RS232, RS422, 1 RS485, and DH485 communications for many different types of hardware.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS: Card must be installed inside the interface. rear cover of a G3 operator interface with the hardware provided. See 2. COMMUNICATIONS: Installing the G3RS Option Card for more details. Serial Ports: Format and Baud Rates for each port are individually software programmable up to 115,200 baud and are isolated to help prevent ground loops. The RS422/485 and DH485 port via RJ45 and the RS232 port via RJ12 share the same hardware. The G3RS option card multiplexes the BLOCK DIAGRAM ports to communicate via two protocols. These ports may be used to configure different master protocols, but only one port may be used if configuring a slave protocol or AB DH485.

Place the option card label on your rear cover in the space indicated by the dashed lines and labeled COMMS EXPANSION MODULE. 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. 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 G3RS option card comes with a cable for communications and three screws for attaching the option card to the inside of the G3 operator interfaces 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 POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS provided connect the option card to the rear cover as shown in NEW AND EXISTING INSTALLATIONS Figure 1. The G3RS 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 Figure 1 the power needs of an option card. 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 cables are firmly seated into their appropriate connector housing. Carefully replace the rear cover by reversing the instructions for removing the rear cover.
