B. Smart Connection
1. Connect to a wide range of control equipment
- Pro-face HMIs support connection with a wide range of industrial controllers including PLCs, motion controllers, robots, and other devices.
- A USB to RS-422/485 conversion adapter can be used to allow connection to a wide range of control equipment including temperature controllers, inverters, and PLCs.
2. Easy and flexible configuration of lamps and switches
- Lamps can be configured in six colors with four lighting states in the screen editor software, GP-Pro EX.
- EZ illuminated switches feature easily customizable insert labels.
3. Fingerprint Authentification on HMI Operation
- The EZ fingerprint recognition unit can reduce problems or accidents caused by inappropriate password use.
- Fingerprint data is registered and maintained through an HMI or PC connected to the fingerprint recognition unit.
4. Monitoring Anywhere of Large/Long Equipment
- Using the remote monitoring and operation functions, actions that previously required multiple staff for a large-sized machine or long-distance application can be easily accomplished by fewer operators.
5. Ethernet Multi-Link function
- The Ethernet Multi-Link function allows you to easily add a display unit as a sub-display to the facility without changing any settings of the control device.
6. 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.
7. Use Video for On-Site Adjustments with COGNEX In-Sight vision system communication driver
In combination with a COGNEX In-Sight vision system,the settings can be changed when watching images from the cameras on a display unit on site.
- 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.
8. Supports Siemens PLC's tag import function
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
C. Smart Information
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
D. Smart Installation
1. Equipped with a user-replaceable battery
- 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.
2. 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.
3. Consistent direction of cabling
- Thanks to a consistent connection direction for cables and other interfaces, routing of wiring is now simpler than ever.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Conforms to overseas standards for hassle-free export and use with overseas equipment
- IP65f Front Enclosure
- NEMA#250 TYPE 4X/13

7. Energy Saving - Standard equipped with LED backlight LCD + Lighting adjustment
- Energy-saving capabilities have been greatly improved. The GP4000 Series contributes to reducing on-site power consumption in a variety of ways including an on-board LED backlight in all models, and a lighting adjustment function used to decrease and eventually stand-by the display after being idle for a set period of time.
8. 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.
