1-1
1. Introduction
Manual updates
This manual is updated for the 101.1.0.0 program version. In this program is a web
server added which enables for the user to access the instrument using a PC running a
web browser. This manual can also be used for the previous program version
(101.0.0.0) where the only differences are the ‘Network Configuration’ menu, the
Instrument restart functionality and the remote access part.
General
The G4 Instrument is a high performance multi-channel force indicator intended for
industrial systems.
Its basic function is to convert the signals from strain gauge transducers to useful force
information. Transducer excitation is included as well as parameter controlled signal
processing, indication of output levels, error supervision and operation of optional
external equipment. The instrument can be equipped with up to 8 synchronized force
channels.
The instrument is modular and can be equipped with different types of
I/O units
to
match the demands in the specific applications. There are strain gauge transducer
interface modules, a digital input/output module, analog output modules.
Internal solid-state outputs in the instrument can be used for output functions from level
supervision or ‘In process’ indication, reporting the operating status of the G4
Instrument.
The
CPU unit
in the instrument has several communication interfaces. It has two serial
communication ports, an Ethernet port, an USB port and a fieldbus slot.
Several G4 Instruments can be controlled from a master computer or PLC.
Serial communication interfaces are RS-485 and RS-232 using Modbus RTU protocol.
The Ethernet interface is using Modbus TCP and the optional fieldbus interface uses
Profibus or DeviceNet.
