GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The G315C Operator Interface combines powerful features normally found only in PC-based HMIs, with the reliability of a dedicated operating system. It is built around a high performance core with integrated features, allowing it to provide SCADA-like functionality at a fraction of the cost.

The G315C is able to act as a multiple protocol converter using four highspeed RS232/422/485 communications ports and an Ethernet 10/100 Base-TX port. The Ethernet port supports up to four protocols simultaneously, allowing dissimilar Ethernet based products to communicate with one another.

The G315C’s USB port allows fast downloads of configuration files and access to trending and data logging. A CompactFlash socket is provided so that standard ComplactFlash cards can be used to collect your trending and data logging information as well as to store configuration files. The built-in web server allows processes to be controlled remotely.

The G315C’s large, high-resolution display allows users to easily view and enter information. Data can be manipulated through the touchscreen and/or the

10-button keypad.

CONNECTING TO EARTH GROUND

Each G315C has a chassis ground terminal on the back of the unit. Your unit should be connected to earth ground.

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.

ELECTRICAL CODE FOR INSTALLATION IN CANADA.

POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

The G315C requires a 24 VDC power supply. Your unit may draw considerably less than the maximum rated power 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, CompactFlash 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 an NEC Class 2 or Limited Power Source (LPS) and SELV rating is to be used. This type of 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 G315C

The G315C is configured using Crimson ® software. Crimson is available as a free download from Red Lion’s website, or it can be purchased on CD. Updates to Crimson for new features and drivers are posted on the website as they become available. By configuring the G315C using the latest version of Crimson, you are assured that your unit has the most up to date feature set. Crimson software can configure the G315C through the RS232 PGM port, USB port, Ethernet 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 “G315C 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 the G3 is then powered up. 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 “G315C Port Pin Outs” for wiring information.

ETHERNET COMMUNICATIONS

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

BASE-TX. The G315C 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:

On the rear of each unit is a unique 12-digit MAC address and a block for marking the unit with an IP address. Refer to the Crimson manual and Red

Lion’s website for additional information on Ethernet communications.

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 G315C was configured using the USB port.

Once the driver is installed, connect the G315C to your PC with a USB cable, and follow “Mounting the CompactFlash” instructions in the Crimson 2 user manual.

CRIMSON ® SOFTWARE

Crimson ® software is available as a free download from Red Lion’s website or it can be purchased on a CD, see “Ordering Information” for part number. The latest version of the software is always available from the website, and updating your copy is free.

DISPLAY

This operator interface uses a liquid crystal display (LCD) for displaying text and graphics. The display utilizes an LED backlight for lighting the display. The backlight can be dimmed for low light conditions.

The LED backlight has a limited lifetime. Backlight lifetime is based upon the amount of time the display is turned on at full intensity. Turning the backlight off when the display is not in use can extend the lifetime of your backlight. This can be accomplished through the Crimson software when configuring your unit.

KEYPAD

The G315C keypad consists of ten keys that can be used for on-screen menus.

TOUCHSCREEN

This operator interface utilizes a resistive analog touchscreen for user input.

The unit will only produce an audible tone (beep) when a touch on an active touchscreen cell is sensed. The touchscreen is fully functional as soon as the operator interface is initialized, and can be operated with gloved hands.

TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR G315C

If for any reason you have trouble operating, connecting, or simply have questions concerning your new G315C, contact Red Lion’s technical support.
