GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The G306A 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 G306A to perform many of the normal features of the Paradigm range of
Operator Interfaces while improving and adding new features.
The G306A 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 G306A 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 G306A
allows a user to easily view and enter information. Users can enter data through
the touchscreen and/or front panel 5-button keypad.
