Common features
- Superior visibility even in sunlight
The brightness, contrast ratio, and viewing angle have been improved. - Wide range of operating temperature that covers outdoor use
The improved environmental resistance allows for use in a wider operating temperature range of -20 °C to +60 °C -4 °F to +140 °F. - UV Resistant, Anti-glare front panel
A front protection layer reduces the intensity of UV rays and has an anti-glare coating. - Impressive water resistance makes usage possible in areas prone to water contact.
The front panel of the GT-E series is IP67 rated with added protection applied to the rear of the unit for a more rugged overall construction. - Built-in SD/SDHC memory card slot*1
Easy to copy, back up, and restore screen data. - Integrated USB Interface
You can connect your PC and GT32-E using your USB cable to transfer screen data.
When used with our FP series PLC, this display supports the pass through function, which allows simultaneous debugging of the PLC and the display. - Transformer-isolated power supply
The isolated power supply enhances the reliability.
*1 Class 10 Compatible with a card of up to 32 GB. *2 Note that the communication and power supply connector projects an additional 1.5 mm 0.06 in.
Also take the cable diameter must be taken into account.
Superior visibility even in sunlight
- High contrast LCD
Achieved higher contrast and visibility. - High brightness backlight
Achieved greater brightness and visibility than the conventional model.
Anti-glare, High visibility display
A front protection layer has an anti-glare coating to prevent unwanted reflections
(Fingerprints are made less noticeable even in outdoor use)
Comparison of reflection
No risk of product deterioration due to UV exposure
The front sheet is made of a material that does not transmit UV rays.
A combination of a UV cutting layer and a UV absorbing layer performs two-stage UV blocking.
The LCD and touch panel can be protected from deterioration.
UV ray transmittance performance
Excellent water resistance
- The front panel has a protective structure rated IP67.
Safe to use outdoors or in a location exposed to splashing water. - Added protection has been applied to the rear of the unit for a more rugged overall construction.
Wide operating temperature range
- Usable in a range of -20 °C to +60 °C -4 °F to +140 °F
(-20 °C to +55 °C -4 °F to +131 °F when horizontally installed) - The TFT LCD can quickly switch screens even at a low temperature.
- The life of the LED backlight does not decrease even at a low temperature.
- It is not necessary to prepare a heater for use at a low temperature.
Reduced power consumption
- Color type(GT32T-E) :
7.2 W or less - Monochrome type (GT32M-E) :
4.8 W or less
SD Solutions only Panasonic can provide
Links and expansion via SD
As small-size touch panels have significantly improved their image quality, easy to read displays with sharp characters are no longer special features these days. Instead, programmable displays will evolve with maximum "user-friendliness" in various applications with PCs or other devices.
As shown below, our touch panels exchange and store data using SD memory card, data for many applications.
PLC program transfer without the use of a PC
It is possible to modify PLC ladder programs as well as the GT screen programs by using an SD / SDHC memory card.
SD / SDHC memory card enables everyone to easily modify programs.
SD logging function to produce data “Visualization”
Capable of automatically collecting electrical power readings of Eco-POWER METERS and displaying them in a real time graph, allowing users to take quick actions for solutions.
- The GT unit can collect data, such as electrical power on an SD / SDHC memory card, and display the log data in a real time graph.
- You can make data “Visualization” without using a PC as a display or Data logger for collecting data.
- One bar graph has a maximum of eight bars and can be combined with line graphs.
- The following three conditions can be selected to trigger an operation to save log data.
(1) Specified time (2) Specified cycle (1 sec. to 24 hrs.) (3) Specified condition - Large volumes of data can be saved on an SD / SDHC memory card, which can be carried with you.
SD recipe function
For high-mix production, recipe data up to 64 types and 4,096 devices in total, can be easily set on a PC. The created recipe data is saved on an SD / SDHC memory card, and the specified data can be written or read from a PLC.
Saving alarm history data on an SD / SDHC memory card
The alarm history data stored in the GT built-in memory can be saved on an SD / SDHC memory card, making it possible to easily control problems on a PC.
Highly flexible screen design!
GT series displays use an analog-touch panel where locations of parts and characters can be adjusted in increments of one dot. The adoption of the Windows® font has widened the character size selection (10 to 240 dots), making the screen design more flexible.
*The maximum size varies depending on the model.
Analog-touch design
TrueType fonts
The adoption of the Windows®font has made it possible to choose a font focusing on the screen image and visual quality.
Graph function
One bar graph has a maximum of eight bars and can be combined with line graphs.
Flow display function
A flowing message of up to 64 characters (two-byte) can be displayed at the bottom of the screen. (128 messages)
Multi-function switches
Multiple operations are possible. For example, screens can be switched by setting multiple values.
4,096-color parts libraries
3D-design buttons with higher visibility and operability are available.
Newly equipped with an FP monitoring function
The setting status and data of our FP series PLC connected to GT can be monitored and edited on the GT screen. This function allows you to check equipment operations in actual environments without creating screens in advance or connecting the unit to a PC and to increase the efficiency of equipment startup and daily maintenance work.
Notes:
| 1) | The FP monitoring function is available for FP-X, FPΣ, FP0R, FP2, FP2SH, FP0, and FP-e. |
| 2) | The FP monitoring function can be used only when the FP monitoring screen is set (stored) in GT. Note that the FP monitoring screen uses the user’s memory (F-ROM) of GT. |
Multiple GT displays can be connected to our FP series PLC.
GT link function
Up to 32 GT displays can be connected to one PLC unit without communication programs. The same screen operation is possible at a conveyor line or other remote locations, and the number of PLC units can be reduced, cutting the production process costs.
Notes:
| 1) | Our FP series PLC |
| 2) | As the number of connected units increases, the response slows down. Check the speed in the actual line. |
Connectivity with multiple PLCs
Up to 31 PLC units can be connected to one GT unit. Progress in multiple production lines can be centrally monitored and controlled via one GT unit.
Enhanced security with password protection
Password protection and operation security functions protect the data asset in the display unit and control the authorization for operation.
Password protection function
The screen data upload operation can be restricted by using passwords to protect the data asset in the display unit.
Operation security function
Up to 64 operators can set individual passwords, and up to 16 levels of restrictions can be set on displays and operations for each part. The registered users and passwords can be changed on the display unit.
Easy-to-switch language
Conventionally, screens were created for each language. With this new language switching function, data can be registered in multiple languages (up to 16) for each part. The characters can be easily edited with Microsoft Excel® and then imported.
Write device function
This function modifies the PLC data or turns bits on/off according to the PLC status or the screen No. Now four arithmetic operations between devices are also possible.
High-efficiency operation with through function
This function allows operators to simultaneously carry out the transfer of screen data of a GT series display and the debugging of our FP series PLC connected to the display.
