* Please check equipment status and maintain conditions for machine safety to avoid unintended equipment operation.
Ethernet Multi-Link function
The Ethernet Multi-Link function allows you to easily add a GP as a sub-display to the facility without changing any settings of the control device.
Easily connect multiple USB devices
A controller with serial interface, EZ Series accessory unit, bar code reader, and USB flash drive can be easily connected to the HMI unit.
* EZ Fingerprint Recognition Unit also requires power supply cable.
* Multiple devices of the same model cannot be connected.
Use Video for On-Site Adjustments with COGNEX In-Sight vision system communication driver
In combination with a COGNEX In-Sight vision system*1, the settings can be changed when watching images from the cameras on a GP unit on site.*2
-
A communication driver supports In-Sight Micro series and In-Sight 5000 series.
-
You can view video images from up to 3 cameras on a single screen. Up to 16 cameras can be connected to GP.Display position (X/Y), exposure time, focus, lighting and brightness can be adjusted on GP.
