G2 Module Selector
Since our Series G2 was originally introduced, new modules and continuous product refinements have been made. The Series G2 modules listed below encompass our latest standard model with some very exciting performance features and capabilities. They feature hot-swap capability and are compatible with our advanced touchscreen G2T Mainframes.
The G2 Modules install at the rear of a mainframe so signal connectors face the inside of your equipment rack . The rack mount Series G2T "mainframes" are available in four sizes to accommodate the needs of various sized applications. They feature a front panel menu driven touchscreen, single or dual (redundant) front loading hot-swap power supplies, and single or dual (redundant) C3 Controller CPUs (6RU and 8RU units only). Standard interfaces are 10/100 Ethernet (LXI), multi-serial (RS-232C, RS-422A or RS-485), USB 2.0, or GPIB (using our GPIB-USB adapter). The units are designed for any international AC power source.
NOTE: The G2T units (touchscreen) supersede the original G2 mainframes (VF and keypad).
