G3DN
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.
