Caution
1. Please read all notes related to installation and wiring in the manual.
If this is not observed, electrical shock or malfunction may occur.
2. Make sure the ground wire of Graphic Panel is wired separately from the ground
wires of other devices. Ground resistance must be less than 100Ω, and a lead wire
of which sectional area is over 1.25mm²should be used.
If this is not observed, electrical shock or malfunction may occur.
3. When connecting Graphic Panel ports and constructing input/output, check the
pin number and terminal block before connecting.
It may cause a fire or a malfunction.
4. Please tighten bolt on terminal block with specified tightening torque.
It may cause a short circuit, fire or a malfunction.
5. Do not press the surface of the touch panel with sharp or hard objects.
The touch panel may be damaged.

1. OUTLINE
1.1 THE DEFINITION OF GP
GP(Graphic Panel) is a graphic interface device to monitor parameters of controllers as PLC. It is one
of HMI(Human-Machine Interface) or MMI(Man-Machine Interface).
It is used to find out current value and status of process between controller and user, it also available
to monitor control parameter on LCD screen, switch touch screen or set a variable. Mutual information
between GP and controller is transmitted through serial communication. The variable of controllers are
displayed as tags, for example, the physical variable is a temperature, it is displayed as numeral
method with tags and it is available to monitor temperature change with trend graph.
All data of GP user screen is edited in private software GP Editor. After editing screen data including
forms, arrangement, attribution of tags, download tags to GP, it starts to monitor by the screen data.
15
1.2 THE FEATURE OF GP2480
Product upgrade in Web site
GP OS, GP Editor, protocol, language, font and various manuals can be downloaded in
www.autonics.com.
Heterogeneous controllers communication
Different model of controllers can be connected to serial ports separately.
GP monitors two controllers simultaneously and relays communication between two controllers.
Multi-monitoring function
Same type of several controllers are connected.
Multilingual feature
Basically, Korean, English are provided and other languages are also available later on.
Multi-font support
Various selectable bitmap fonts are available.
Multi communication port
In RS232C / RS422, software connection device should be designated
(PLC/PC/PRINTER/BARCODE) and user can set a port according to communication type
supported by connection device.
Device monitoring function of controller
It is able to monitor device of connectable controller in main menu of GP without graphic design
data.
Connection of printer and barcode reader
Connect a printer and barcode reader with the main device, alarm history and barcode can be
printed and read.
Touch interface
It is able to input value in controller with touch switch of front screen.
Super slim size
It is easy to utilize the space with slim size.
Various display function
It is able to display data with various tags.

4.3 SCREEN SWITCHING
□ Screen switching device
The designed user screen in GP Editor has own number and it is downloaded to GP, it decides base
screens to display switching device of base screen periodically. The switching device of screen is
designated in editor. It recognizes the current value of device assigned to switching device of base
screen as screen number, it displays the screen. In order to make same as the real screen number
and device reference value for screen access, it is designed to display screen no.1 when the current
value of device is “0”.
- The operation when configuring D0[Current value] device as device of base screen number.
It displays an error message if there is no screen number corresponding the device value of screen
□The method of screen switching
It is switched to the appropriate screen when changing screen switching device value. It is changed as
①Using touch key for switching screen : There is a switching function of touch key operations as
follows.
②Numeric input : It is switched to the appropriate screen inputting screen number in screen switching
device using numeric input tag.
③Device monitor : It is switched from device on device monitor of system screen to the appropriate

4.4 OVERLAP WINDOW FUNCTION
GP monitors user-defined of 2 screen overlap devices and overlaps the screen satisfying current value
of the device on a base screen.
In order to use screen overlap function, configure device for overlap window in GP Editor.
The overlap window is displayed in order of window 1, 2 on current screens as below.
In case, the value of overlap window device is exceeded the range (1~500) or not existed, the window
