About the G-series System
System overview
- Network Adapter Module: The network adapter module forms the link between the field bus and the field devices with the expansion modules. The connection to different field bus systems can be established by each of the corresponding network adapter module, e.g., for MODBUS TCP, Ethernet IP, EtherCAT, PROFINET, CC-Link IE Field, PROFIBUS, CANopen, DeviceNet, CC-Link, MODBUS/Serial etc.
- Expansion Module: Expansion module types: Digital IO, Analog IO, and Special modules.
- Messaging: The system uses two types of messaging: Service messaging and IO messaging.
IO Process Data Mapping
An expansion module has three types of data: IO data, configuration parameter, and memory register. The data exchange between the network adapter and the expansion modules is made via IO process image data by internal protocol.
Data flow between network adapter (63 slots) and expansion modules
The input and output image data depend on the slot position and the data type of the expansion slot. The ordering of input and output process image data is based on the expansion slot position. Calculations for this arrangement are included in the manuals for network adapter and programmable IO modules.
Valid parameter data depends on the modules in use. For example, analog modules have settings of either 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA, and temperature modules have settings such as PT100, PT200, and PT500. The documentation for each module provides a description of the parameter data.

Hardware Setup
CAUTION
- Always read this chapter before installing the module!
- Hot surface! The surface of the housing can become hot during operation. If the device is used in high ambient temperatures, always let the device cool down before touching it.
- Working on energized devices can damage the equipment! Always turn off the power supply before working on the device.
Space Requirements
The following drawings show the space requirements when installing the G-series modules. The spacing creates space for ventilation, and prevents conducted electromagnetic interference from influencing the operation. Installation position is valid vertical and horizontal. The drawings are illustrative and may be out of proportion.
