As the tag information of STEP7 Project Files created by Siemens PLC can be imported to GP-Pro EX screen data, you can reduce the man-hours for screen creation.
*<supported data type>
BOOL, BYTE, WORD, DWORD, SINT/USINT, INT/UINT, DINT/UDINT, REAL, STRING, ARRAY, STRUCTURE, TIME, TIME_OF_DAY, DATE, DATE_AND_TIME

Smart Information

Alarm Analysis function

When an error occurs, an operator can easily seek and check the condition on-site, just by touching the alarm message to call up various error-related data in chronological order. An alarm analysis screen with timing chart of alarm-related device addresses can be simply configured only through a few steps on GP-Pro EX software for easy troubleshooting, debugging and/or design changes of production equipment to reduce downtime for enhanced productivity.

Sampling Data - Collecting various data during production

Temperature, voltage, and other desired address values can be stored in the GP. Data and times can be confirmed on the sampling display.

Historical Trend Graph - Displaying data in an easy-to-see graph

The change in the collected data over time is displayed in an easy-to-understand form with a graph. The graph can be traced back to see the past data.

Operation Log - Recording the operator's operation

Operations are saved to a log, so you can see who did what, and when. The log can also be used for a trend analysis of erroneous operation of operators.

Enhanced Recipe function

With the conventional recipe function, all recipe data must be stored at continuous addresses. The new recipe function allows writing random addresses and multiple data formats as a recipe.

CSV data transfer function

Since the CSV data stored in the USB memory/SD card can be edited, the recipe data can easily be carried for performing updates on-site. The alarm message can be easily changed with CSV files only.

Internal Logic Program - Program with a familiar ladder language

- Screens and logic programming can be edited with the same software, so editing between parts and logic elements can be performed via drag and drop.
- Reduces PLC operation and program maintenance load.
- The online editing function allows you to make program changes on a computer during operation.

D-Script - Create unique macro program for user-customized data process and functions

Configure these settings based on trigger conditions including "Continuous Action", "Timer Bit Change", and "Condition Satisfied". Many functions are also provided including search (search and replace strings in the script) and debug functions (display messages and addresses on the unit).

D-Scripts created with GP-PRO/PBIII can be used unmodified so replacement is a breeze.

Pro-Server EX

Collect information of operation progress on a PC via Ethernet network. Download operating instructions, such as recipes, from an office PC to a GP.

GP-Viewer EX

The screen of theHMI on the site can be monitored from a PC at a remote location.
*Purchase of a separate license is required.

Web Server

Acquirable devices or alarms in the GP on the site can be monitored with a browser.
*Ethernet I/F models only

FTP-Server

The content of a USB memory or SD card attached to the GP on the site can be interchanged from a remote location.
*Ethernet I/F models only

RPA (Remote PC Access)

The work procedure document stored in a PC in an office can be displayed on the GP. This is effective to reduce procedural errors or other mistakes.
*Purchase of a separate license is required.

Smart Installation

  • Makes maintenance simple, even for equipment that is used for extended periods of time.
  • Lets you save data even when using equipment that is left unpowered for long periods of time, giving peace of mind.
  • It is recommended that batteries are replaced every 5 years. Batteries can be purchased as maintenance items.

No more accidental dropping

Special projections prevent the GP4000 series from being accidentally dropped through the hole when it is being installed in a panel.

Consistent direction of cabling

Thanks to a consistent connection direction for cables and other interfaces, routing of wiring is now simpler than ever.
 

Compatibility for easy replacement

Since the panel cutting dimensions are the same as conventional models, it is easy to replace only the display unit in an existing facility.

Easy to change the display screen

  • The display screen can be changed by using a USB flash memory or SD card, without the need for a software license.
  • The screen maintenance can be done without bringing a PC to a production site.
  • A person in charge does not have to operate a PC, such as when manufacturing the multiple units of the same equipment.

Commercially available Type A to Mini-B USB cables can be used to transfer screen data.
Easy to change the display screen
