GENERALDESCRIPTION
The G307K2 is the perfect solution for applications that require the
operator to monitor and control more than just a single device. With three
serial ports and an Ethernet port, the 7" Kadet 2 can connect to multiple
serial and Ethernet devices simultaneously, including PLCs, motor
drives, bar code scanners, etc.
The G307K2 performs the functions of a multiple protocol converter,
using three high-speed RS-232/422/485 communications ports and a 10
Base-T Ethernet port. The Ethernet port supports up to four protocols
simultaneously, allowing dissimilar Ethernet based products to
communicate with one another.
The SD card slot can be used to load the unit's configuration file,
allowing configuration changes to be made and saved to the card for
later transfer.
The G3 Kadet 2 range of HMIs is programmed with Red Lion's free
Crimson 3 software. Crimson offers easy to use drag and drop
communications configuration, while the embedded image library allows
the programmer to create intuitive screens and prompts for the operator.
