AVENTICS™ G3 Electronic Fieldbus Platform by Aventics/Numatics
Manufacturer: Aventics
In today's highly automated machines, the AVENTICS Series G3 electronic fieldbus valve system is replacing conventional hardwired solutions. It integrates communication interfaces to pneumatic valve systems with input/output (I/O) capabilities. This next-generation electronic platform permits easy access to connections; it's simple to assemble, install, commission, and maintain. The G3's functionality allows programmable logic controllers to more efficiently turn valves on and off, and to channel I/O data from sensors, lights, relays, individual valves, or other I/O devices via various industrial networks including IO-Link devices via the IO-Link Class A Master. The G3 is the only pneumatic valve manifold that contains a graphical display used for configuration, commissioning, and diagnostics. It offers improvements in application, performance, and maintenance for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and end users alike.
Features
- Innovative graphic display enables easy commissioning, visual status, and diagnostics
- Highly flexible, distributable architecture scales up with your system's requirements
- Fully customizable with up to 16 I/O modules per communication module (node); Digital I/O, Analog I/O, RTD, [Ex ia] Inputs, Sub-bus
- Efficient Sub-bus distribution system allows the same modules to be used in either centralized or distributed applications; distribution of Inputs only, Outputs only, I/O only, Valves with Inputs, Valves with Outputs and Valves with I/O
- IO-Link Class A Master with 8 ports supports multiple standard and IO-Link smart sensors and devices up to 50 total meters from G3 node
- Auto recovery module (ARM) protects configuration data during critical failure while the Wireless ARM allows access to vital valve system diagnostics and health monitoring via WiFi connection
- Power connector allows output power to be removed while inputs and communication are left active
- Networks with DeviceNet, Ethernet IP, Profibus, Profinet, and Powerlink fieldbus protocols
