GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The G303 Operator Interface Terminal combines unique capabilities normally expected from high-end units with a very affordable price. It is built around a high performance core with integrated functionality. This core allows the G303 to perform many of the normal features of the Paradigm range of Operator

Interfaces while improving and adding new features.

The G303 is able to communicate with many different types of hardware using high-speed RS232/422/485 communications ports and Ethernet 10 Base T/100

Base-TX communications. In addition, the G303 features USB for fast downloads of configuration files and access to trending and data logging. A CompactFlash socket is provided so that Flash cards can be used to collect your trending and data logging information as well as to store larger configuration files.

In addition to accessing and controlling of external resources, the G303 allows a user to easily view and enter information. The unit uses a Liquid

Crystal Display (LCD) module, which is easily readable in both indoor and outdoor applications. Users can enter data through the front panel 32-button keypad that has user identifiable keys.

CONNECTING TO EARTH GROUND

Each G303 has a chassis ground terminal on the back of the unit. Your unit should be connected to earth ground (protective earth).

The chassis ground is not connected to signal common of the unit.

Maintaining isolation between earth ground and signal common is not required to operate your unit. But, other equipment connected to this unit may require isolation between signal common and earth ground. To maintain isolation between signal common and earth ground care must be taken when connections

are made to the unit. For example, a power supply with isolation between its signal common and earth ground must be used. Also, plugging in a USB cable may connect signal common and earth ground.

1

1. USB’s shield may be connected to earth ground at the host. USB’s shield in turn may also be connected to signal common.

POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

The G303 requires a 24 VDC power supply rated at 9.5 W. Your unit may draw considerably less than 9.5 W depending upon the options being used. As additional features are used your unit will draw increasing amounts of power.

Items that could cause increases in current are additional communications, optional communications card, Compact Flash card, and other features programmed through Crimson.

In any case, it is very important that the power supply is mounted correctly if the unit is to operate reliably. Please take care to observe the following points:

– The power supply must be mounted close to the unit, with usually not more than 6 feet (1.8 m) of cable between the supply and the operator interface. Ideally, the shortest length possible should be used.

– The wire used to connect the operator interface’s power supply should be at least 22-gage wire. If a longer cable run is used, a heavier gage wire should be used. The routing of the cable should be kept away from large contactors, inverters, and other devices which may generate significant electrical noise.

– A power supply with a Class 2 or SELV rating is to be used. A Class 2 or SELV power supply provides isolation to accessible circuits from hazardous voltage levels generated by a mains power supply due to single faults. SELV is an acronym for “safety extra-low voltage.” Safety extra-low voltage circuits shall exhibit voltages safe to touch both under normal operating conditions and after a single fault, such as a breakdown of a layer of basic insulation or after the failure of a single component has occurred.

CONFIGURING A G303

The G303 is configured using Crimson 2.0 software. Crimson is available as a free download from Red Lion’s website, or it can be ordered on CD. Updates to Crimson for new features and drivers are posted on the website as they become available. By configuring the G303 using the latest version of Crimson

2, you are assured that your unit has the most up to date feature set. Crimson software can configure the G303 through the RS232 PGM port, USB port, or

CompactFlash.

The USB port is connected using a standard USB cable with a Type B connector.

The driver needed to use the USB port will be installed with Crimson.

The RS232 PGM port uses a programming cable made by Red Lion to connect to the DB9 COM port of your computer. If you choose to make your own cable, use the “G303 Port Pin Out Diagram” for wiring information.

The CompactFlash can be used to program a G3 by placing a configuration file and firmware on the CompactFlash card. The card is then inserted into the target G3 and powered. Refer to the Crimson literature for more information on the proper names and locations of the files.

CABLES AND DRIVERS

Red Lion has a wide range of cables and drivers for use with many different communication types. A list of these drivers and cables along with pin outs is available from Red Lion’s website. New cables and drivers are added on a regular basis. If making your own cable, refer to the “G303 Port Pin Outs” for wiring information.

USB, DATA TRANSFERS FROM THE

COMPACTFLASH CARD

WARNING - DO NOT CONNECT OR DISCONNECT CABLES

WHILE POWER IS APPLIED UNLESS AREA IS KNOWN TO BE

NON-HAZARDOUS. USB PORT IS FOR SYSTEM SET-UP AND

DIAGNOSTICS AND IS NOT INTENDED FOR PERMANENT

CONNECTION.

In order to transfer data from the CompactFlash card via the USB port, a driver must be installed on your computer. This driver is installed with Crimson and is located in the folder C:\Program Files\Red Lion Controls\Crimson 2.0\

Device\ after Crimson is installed. This may have already been accomplished if your G303 was configured using the USB port.

Once the driver is installed, connect the G303 to your PC with a USB cable, and follow “Mounting the CompactFlash” instructions in the Crimson 2 user manual.

Note that using the USB port for frequent data transfers is not recommended.

For frequent data transfers it is recommended that the Ethernet connection be used. Through the Ethernet connection a web page can be set up to view logged data. Refer to the Crimson 2.0 manual for details.

ETHERNET COMMUNICATIONS

Ethernet communications can be established at either 10 BASE-T or 100

BASE-TX. The G303 unit’s RJ45 jack is wired as a NIC (Network Interface

Card). For example, when wiring to a hub or switch use a straight-through cable, but when connecting to another NIC use a crossover cable.

The Ethernet connector contains two LEDs. A yellow LED in the upper right, and a bi-color green/amber LED in the upper left. The LEDs represent the following statuses:

10 BASE-T Communications

100 BASE-TX Communications

The Crimson 2 manual contains additional information on Ethernet communications.

RS232 PORTS

The G303 has two RS232 ports. There is the PGM port and the COMMS port.

Although only one of these ports can be used for programming, both ports can be used for communications with a PLC.

The RS232 PGM port can be used for either master or slave protocols with any G303 configuration. The RS232 COMMS and RS422/485 COMMS ports are multiplexed because they share the same hardware. Both COMMS ports can be used with master protocols. However, when the RS232 COMMS port is used with a slave protocol, the RS422/485 COMMS port is not available.

Examples of RS232 communications could involve another Red Lion product or a PC. By using a cable with RJ12 ends on it, and a twist in the cable, RS232 communications with another G3 product or the Modular Controller can be established. Red Lion part numbers for cables with a twist in them are

CBLPROG0 1 , CBLRLC01 2 , or CBLRC02 3 .
