About the GP870-PV11
The GP870-PV11 is a graphics panel human-machine interface designed by ProFace. This unit was originally part of the company s GP70/50/30/10 series. AX Control has a number of these panels available for sale. The user-configurable HMIs are designed to offer reliable control on the factory floor in industrial locations where a regular PC might not withstand rigorous daily use.
The GP870-PV11 is built with a 10-inch display. This includes a touch screen interface panel with one or two-point input. The display supports multiple fonts that can be expanded up to eight times.
The unit is protected by an exterior casing, but the HMI is ultimately designed for mounting within a panel or cabinet and is not designed to be freestanding. Please note this unit is typically mounted in a vertical position. If you mount it horizontally or at a significant angle you may need to add externally forced air cooling to the unit to maintain it within proper operating temperatures.
The GP870-PV11 supports T-link data transfer. Pro-face has a manual to help with connections between this GP unit and a Fuji PLC using a T-link cable to walk you through this connection process. Please be aware that if the GP power is turned off or is reset, T-link communication will stop and a fatal error will occur. Using the PLC s fault-handler feature will help bypass this issue.
