Overview
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 G3ENET option card is easily installed by removing the rear cover of your G3 operator interface, attaching the card using the supplied screws and connecting a single cable. Installing this card adds an auxiliary 10/100 Ethernet port to any G3 Series HMI that contains only a single resident port. The auxiliary Ethernet port provides a means to isolate machine-network traffic from the plant-wide network, thereby negating the need for an industrial router. Further, by isolating the machine and plant-wide networks, the system only requires that a single IP address be provided by the company',s IT group.
