G3 Introduction
The G3 Series is an electronic product platform that features an integrated graphic display for simple commissioning
and displaying of diagnostic information. In addition it has an innovative distribution capability which allows the same
I/O components that make up a centralized manifold configuration to be used as the distribution components as well,
decreasing the need for duplicate components on centralized and distributed applications. The G3 platform interfaces
to a variety of valve series and fieldbus interface protocols and is capable of addressing a total of 1200 I/O points (150
bytes). With proper assembly and termination the G3 modules will have an IP65 rating.
The manifold can be viewed as having two sections to it, the Valve Side and the Discrete I/O Side. The Valve Side
supports a maximum of 128 solenoid coils and the Discrete I/O Side supports a maximum of 16 modules capable of
addressing up to 1200 outputs, 1200 inputs or various combinations.
Various discrete modules with integrated graphic display are available. They include digital I/O, analog I/O, and
specialty modules which cover various application needs. Pin-outs for all connectors are labeled on the side of the
respective modules and are also detailed in the module section of this document.
This manual details specific information for configuring and commissioning the Aventics G3 Series product line. For
