GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The G306 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 G306 to perform many of the normal features of the Paradigm range of
Operator Interfaces while improving and adding new features.
The G306 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 G306 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 G306
allows a user to easily view and enter information. Users can enter data through
the touchscreen and/or front panel 5-button keypad.

All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in the
manual or on equipment must be observed to ensure personal safety and to
prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment connected to it. If
equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Do not use the controller to directly command motors, valves, or other
actuators not equipped with safeguards. To do so can be potentially harmful to
persons or equipment in the event of a fault to the controller.
The protective conductor terminal is bonded to conductive
parts of the equipment for safety purposes and must be
connected to an external protective earthing system.

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
This operator interface is designed for through-panel mounting. A panel cut-
out diagram and a template are provided. Care should be taken to remove any
loose material from the mounting cut-out to prevent that material from falling
into the operator interface during installation. A gasket is provided to enable
sealing to NEMA 4X/IP66 specification. Install the ten kep nuts provided and
tighten evenly for uniform gasket compression.
Note: Tightening the kep nuts beyond a maximum of 17 inch-pounds (1.92 N-
m) may cause damage to the front panel.
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. 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
All tolerances ±0.010" (±0.25 mm).
ALL NONINCENDIVE CIRCUITS MUST BE WIRED USING
DIVISION 2 WIRING METHODS AS SPECIFIED IN ARTICLE 501-
4 (b), 502-4 (b), AND 503-3 (b) OF THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL
CODE, NFPA 70 FOR INSTALLATION WITHIN THE UNITED
STATES, OR AS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 19-152 OF CANADIAN
ELECTRICAL CODE FOR INSTALLATION IN CANADA.
CONNECTING TO EARTH GROUND
The protective conductor terminal is bonded to conductive
parts of the equipment for safety purposes and must be
connected to an external protective earthing system.
Each G306 has a chassis ground terminal on the back of the unit. Your unit
should be connected to earth ground (protective earth).
The G306 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 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 G306
THE
G306
The G306 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 G306 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 G306 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 “G306 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 “G306 Port Pin Outs” for
wiring information.
ETHERNET COMMUNICATIONS
Ethernet communications can be established at either 10 BASE-T or 100
BASE-TX. The G306 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
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 G306 was
configured using the USB port.
Once the driver is installed, connect the G306 to your PC with a USB cable, and
follow “Mounting the CompactFlash” instructions in the Crimson 2 user manual.
3
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.
The G306 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 ports can be used for either master or slave protocols with any
G306 configuration.
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
