Great diversity and variety of use

■A wide variety of display functions improve the workability for operators.

“TrueType fonts” “Analog-touch design” “Graph function” “Recipe function”

The use of a TrueType font allows GT11 to display up to 216 characters (24 wide x 9 high), GT01/GT01R to display up to 72 characters (12 wide x 6 high), improving the efficiency of use of the panel space.

You can freely position switches as small as 8 x 8 dots.

You can identify the production or operation status in line or bar graph form.

Settings by product item and other data (up to 3,600 words) can be transferred to PLC, simplifying PLC programming.

“Flow Display function” “Alarm list” (GT11) “Write Device function”

A flowing message of up to 64 characters (two-byte) can be displayed at the bottom of the screen. (128 messages)

Alarm activation, check, and recovery can be recorded and displayed.

This function writes the PLC values or turns bits on/off according to the PLC status or the screen No.

■The language switching function facilitates PLC programming and screen switching.

Conventionally, screens were created for each language. With this new language switching function, data can be entered in all available languages for each part. The same screens can be created all at once, and ladder diagram creation is also easier. The character table (below picture) for switching the language display can be edited in Excel and imported.

■Available languages

Japanese English German French Spanish

Simplified Traditional

Chinese Chinese

Korean Turkish Italian

If your operating system is Windows 2000 or XP, the above languages can be displayed on one screen at a time. With other operating systems, the screen creation tool “Terminal GTWIN English Version” is required, and the operating system’s language must be the one you want to display.

■There are two types of communication [RS232C/ RS422 (RS485)]. Connection with PLCs of a variety of manufacturers is possible.

(Please refer to the compatible PLC list.)

The RS422 type can be connected at a maximum distance of 500m.

Also supports connection

with a PLC of another company or a microprocessor board.

■The high environmental resistance is IP65-rated.

■The backlight can be controlled via PLC.

For example, when a sensor detects a person, the display backlight can be turned by an instruction from a PLC.

■An original screen can be displayed for a specified period of time after startup.

■The use of high-brightness LEDs eliminated backlight replacement work.
