Measurement & Control of just about anything
Now supports Modbus Slave protocol!
If you need to control or monitor a device or system at a distance, the G3 is the solution. It comes complete with 8 x onboard I/O that allow you to connect to almost any device. Use it monitor or control pumps, valves, PLCs, dataloggers, rain gauges, tank levels, security systems, fire & evac systems, access control, irrigation systems, flow meters, emergency standby systems and more.
The G3 uses license free spread spectrum (900Mhz or 2.4Ghz), so you can get your remote monitoring or control application up and running fast.

G3Manager allows you to setup the G3 using your Windows PC. Event logs can also be downloaded from the G3 for archiving.
|
4 Different operating modes to suit every application
|
|
Stand Alone Mode
Stand alone mode allows you to control a device locally using the inbuilt logic functions. In this mode the G3 functions as a small logic controller, allowing you to control devices / systems with event logging capability.
|
|
Back to Back Mode
Back to Back mode allows you to use the G3 as a wire replacement device. Ideal for when you need to monitor or control a device remotely, where cabling would prove too difficult or costly.
|
|
Remote I/O Mode
Remote I/O mode allows you to connect over 200 G3 devices to your Kingfisher Series II or III telemetry system. Perfect for when you need to monitor or control remote devices with your SCADA system.
|
|
Modbus Slave Mode
Firmware update for G3 now includes support for Modbus slave protocol. This allows the G3 to interface to a wider range of devices such as HMIs, PLCs, SCADA PCs, RTUs (Kingfisher and other brands). The Modbus master can communicate to the G3 using a stand-alone Maxstream Spread Spectrum modem.
