Overview
The BFD is a large (38.5' x 19') LED display (128 x 64 pixel resolution) which is driven from the RS485 port of a G3. The BFD is built using 32 display boards in an 8 column by 4 row configuration. When used with a G303, the BFD will display the contents of the current G3 page. When used with larger G3s, the desired information is selected by using a “display primitive' on the current G3 page. Multiple BFDs can be driven from a single G3 (see Using Multiple BFDs with a single G3). The exact number is dependent upon the lengths of the individual wiring runs. Contact Red Lion Tech Support for more info. The display is housed in a welded steel enclosure and the display window (0.118' thick red acrylic) is sealed to the enclosure using a gasket and bezel strips. The gasketed rear panel is bolted to the enclosure. The ventilation slots and internal fan are designed to provide adequate cooling in a normal industrial environment. The enclosure is designed to hang from an overhead support. Power to the BFD is provided by a universal AC input power supply. The AC power and the G3 RS485 cable enter the enclosure thru separate conduit fittings. AC power connects to the power supply via a removable 3 position terminal block. The RS485 signal connects to the communication board via either an RJ45 modular plug or a removable 2 position terminal block.
