About the G310C210
The G310C210 operator interface is the first operator interface terminal in the G310C2 group of models. The G310C210 model is enhanced with a USB host and isolated comms, and a 10.4" TFT VGA touchscreen and display. This model can only be used in indoor applications and has a resistive analog touchscreen interface, and can be used with gloved hands once the operator interface has been fully initialized when using the screen, as it is evident that a touch to an active touchscreen cell has been detected when a distinct beep is produced. On the left side of the module, there is a keypad with eight keys that helps with on-screen menus, which are fully programmable except for one key designated as the Menu key.
A CompactFlash card can be used with this model and helps maximize the amount of memory. The card types available used with this model are either Type I or II cards, with the lowest amount of megabytes available being four and the largest amount being two gigabytes. Please note that the card should not be inserted into the G310C210 module while power is being applied doing so can cause potential damage to not only the module but the card. To access the information accumulated on the card, the CompactFlash card should be inserted into a card reader attached to a PC. Several brands of CompactFlash cards are best suited for operating with Red Lion products, such as SanDisk, swissbit, SMART Modular, SimpleTech, and Silicon Systems cards.
If you would like to establish an Ethernet communication with this model, it can be done through either 100 Base-TX or 10 Base-T ports, and the associated jack, which is an RJ45 jack, must be wired as a Network Interface Card (NIC).
