GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The G306M 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.
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. 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 touchscreen and/or front
panel 5-button keypad.
