There are very few special features on this device, two of which are the different port types available. An individual USB port on this terminal with two Ethernet serial ports makes the G315C230 model slightly more enhanced than the previous G315C2 model. The extra Ethernet port on this device is labeled as an Auxiliary Ethernet port and requires a NIC, also known as a network interface card wiring type.
There are a variety of two-wire connection types available with the G315C230 model; one of the connection types available is the G3 model connecting to the modular controller; one example of the G3 connection to the modular controller connection is connecting G3 7, which is labeled as TxB to the Modular Controller 7 which is is also named as TxB.
