Preface

Essential Safety Precautions

This manual includes procedures that must be followed to operate the GP correctly and safely. Be sure to read this manual and any related materials thoroughly to understand the correct operation and functions of this unit.

Safety Icons

Throughout this manual the following icons are provided next to GP operation procedures requiring special attention, and provide essential safety information. These icons indicate the following levels of danger:

Indicates situations where severe bodily

W arning

injury, death or major equipment damage can occur.

Caution

Indicates situations where slight bodily injury or machine damage can occur.

WARNINGS

System Design

• Do not create GP touch panel switches that could possibly endanger the safety of equipment and personnel. Damage to the GP, its I/O unit(s), cable(s), and other related equipment can cause an output signal to remain continuously ON or OFF and possibly cause a major accident. Therefore, design all monitoring circuits using limit switches, etc. to detect incorrect device movement. To prevent accidents related to incorrect signal output or operation, design all switches used to control vital machine operations so they are operated via a separate control system.

• Please design your system so that equipment will not malfunction due to a communication fault between the GP and its host controller . This is to prevent any possibility of bodily injury or material damage.

• Do not use the GP unit as a warning device for critical alarms that can cause serious operator injury, machine damage or production stoppage. Critical alarm indicators and their control/activator units must be designed using stand-alone hardware and/or mechanical interlocks.

• The GP is not appropriate for use with aircraft control devices, aerospace equipment, central trunk data transmission (communication) devices, nuclear power control devices, or medical life support equipment, due to these devices’ inherent requirements of extremely high levels of

safety and reliability.

GP-2300/2301 Series User Manual6

Page 8

Preface

WARNINGS

• Do not create switches used to control machine safety

operations, such as an emergency stop switch, or a GP touch screen icon. Be sure to install these switches as separate hardware switches, otherwise severe bodily injury or equipment damage can occur.

• When using the GP with : transportation vehicles (trains,

cars and ships), disaster and crime prevention devices, various types of safety equipment, non-life support related medical devices, etc., redundant and/or failsafe system designs should be used to ensure the proper degree of reliability and safety.

Touch Panel

• After the GP’s backlight burns out, unlike the GP’s

“Standby Mode”, the touch panel is still active. If the operator fails to notice that the backlight is burned out and touches the panel, a potentially dangerous machine operation error can occur.

If your GP's backlight suddenly turns OFF, use the follow-

ing steps to determine if the backlight is actually burned out.

1) If your GP is screen has gone blank, your backlight is burned out.

2) Or, if your GP the screen does not cause the display to reappear, your backlight is burned out.

Also, use the GP’s built-in “USE TOUCH PANEL AFTER

BACKLIGHT BURNOUT” feature to prevent an accidental machine operation error. This feature can automatically detect a burnout and disable the touch screen.

Wiring

• To prevent electrical shock or equipment damage, unplug the GP unit’s power cord from the power supply prior to installing or wiring the GP.

• Be sure to replace the GP's plastic terminal block cover after wiring is completed, since operating the GP without the cover may lead to an electric shock

• Do not use power beyond the GP's specified voltage

not set to "Standby Mode" and the

is set to Standby Mode, but touching

range. Doing so may cause a fire or an electric shock.

GP-2300/2301 Series User Manual 7

Preface

WARNINGS

Battery Replacement

• The GP uses a lithium battery for backing up its internal clock data. If the battery is incorrectly replaced, the battery may explode. To prevent this, please do not replace the battery yourself. When the battery needs to be re-

placed, please contact your local GP distributor.

Installation/Maintenance

• High voltage runs through the GP. Except for replacing the backlight, never take apart the GP, otherwise an electrical shock can occur.

• Do not modify the GP unit. Doing so may cause a fire or an electric shock.

• Do not use the GP in an environment where flammable gasses are present, since operating the GP may cause an explosion.

CAUTIONS

Installation/Maintenance

• Be sure to securely connect all cable connectors to the GP. A loose connection may cause incorrect input or output.

GP-2300/2301 Series User Manual8

Page 10

Preface

CAUTIONS

Wiring

• Ground the GP's FG line separately from other units’ FG

lines. Putting these FG lines too close may cause an electric shock or unit malfunction. Be sure to use a grounding resistance of 100

ΩΩ

Ω or less and a 2mm

ΩΩ

your country’s applicable standard.

• Be sure the GP's rated voltage is within the designated

range, and that the power terminal lines are correctly attached. If the voltage supplied differs from the rated voltage, or incorrect wiring or grounding is performed, it may cause a fire or unit malfunction.

• Use only the designated torque to tighten the GP's termi-

nal block screws. If these screws are not tightened firmly, it may cause a short-circuit, fire, or GP malfunction.

or thicker wire, or

• Be careful that metal filings and wiring debris do not fall

inside the GP, since they can cause a fire, GP malfunction, or incorrect unit operation.

Display Device/CF Card

• The liquid crystal panel contains a powerful irritant and if

for any reason the panel is damaged and this liquid contacts any part of your body, be sure to wash that area with running water for 15 minutes. If any of this liquid enters your eye, flush your eye for 15 minutes with running water and contact a physician.

• Prior to inserting or removing a CF Card, be sure the CF

Card ACCESS lamp is not lit. If you do not, CF Card internal data may be damaged or lost.

• While a CF Card is being accessed, NEVER turn OFF or

reset the GP, or insert or remove the CF Card. Prior to performing these operations, create and use a special GP application screen that will prevent access to the CF Card.

Refer to GP-PRO/PB III for Windows Tag Reference Manual

(included in the screen editor software package)

Unit Disposal

• When this unit is disposed of, it should be done so ac-

cording to your country's regulations for similar types of industrial waste.

Preface

General Safety Precautions

 About the Operation Environment

• Do not strike the touch panel with a hard or pointed object, or press

on the touch panel with too much force, since it may damage the touch panel or the display.

• Do not install the GP where the ambient temperature can exceed the

allowed range. Doing so may cause the GP to malfunction or shorten its operation life.

• Do not restrict or limit the GP’s naturally occurring rear-face ventila-

tion, or store or use the GP in an environment that is too hot.

• Do not use this unit in areas where large, sudden temperature

changes can occur. These changes can cause condensation to form inside the unit., possibly causing the unit to malfunction.

• Do not allow water , liquids, metal or charged particles to enter inside

the GP’s case, since they can cause either a GP malfunction or an electrical shock.

• Do not use or store the GP in direct sunlight, or in excessively dusty

or dirty environments.

• Do not store or use the unit where strong jolting or excessive vibra-

tion can occur.

• Do not store or use the GP where chemicals (such as organic sol-

vents, etc.) and acids can evaporate, or where chemicals and acids are present in the air.

Corrosive chemicals: Acids, alkalines, liquids containing salt Flammable chemicals: Organic Solvents

• Do not use paint thinner or organic solvents to clean the GP, since

they can cause either discoloration or a GP malfunction.

• Do not store or operate the LCD display in areas receiving direct

sunlight, since the sun's UV rays may cause the LCD display’s quality to deteriorate.

• Storing this unit in areas at a temperature lower than is recommended

in this manual’s specifications may cause the LCD display’s liquid to congeal, which may damage the panel. Conversely, if the storage area’s temperature becomes higher than the allowed level, the LCD’s liquid will become isotropic, causing irreversible damage to the LCD. Therefore, be sure to store the panel only in areas where temperatures are within those specified in this manual.

• Do not connect or disconnect the communication cable between the

GP and the host during power-ups.

Preface

 About the Screen Data

• Due to the possibility of unexpected accidents, be sure to back up the GP’s screen data regularly.

 About the GP's Display Panel

• The GP's currently displayed data, its voltage*1 and brightness setting each affect the intensity of Contouring. (i.e, when some parts of the screen are brighter than others, creating a wavelike pattern)

• There are minute grid-points (dark and light) on the Display Panel's surface. This is part of the GP's design and not a defect.

• Extended shadows, or "Crosstalk" may appear on the sides of screen images. This is normal for an LCD display.

• Sometimes the display area may look as if the display colors have changed. This is a common attribute of LCD's and is not a defect.

• Displaying a single image for long periods can cause an afterimage to remain when the display is changed to another screen.

To prevent this effect:

Use the GP's "Stand-by Mode", which automatically turns the

screen OFF when there is no input for a specified period of time.

6.3.1 System Setup

• Write “FFFFh” to the System Data Area’s “Screen Display Off” address *2 to turn the screen display OFF when the following actions are not performed for the user's designated period of time.

• Change Screen

• Touch Screen

• Alarm Display

Do not display any single screen for a long period of time. Try

to periodically change the screen display.

*1 If the GP's voltage is at the very low end of its allowable range, it may effect the

intensity of contouring.

*2 The following addresses assume all System Data Area settings are entered. If they are

not all entered, the correct word address may be different from those given here. With the Direct Access Method — use System Data Area word address +9 With the Memory Link Method — use System Data Area word address +12

Cooling Me thod

*1 The front face of the GP unit, installed in a solid panel, has been tested using

conditions equivalent to the standards shown in the specification. Even though the GP unit’s level of resistance is equivalent to these standards, oils that should have no effect on the GP can possibly harm the unit. This can occur in areas where either vaporized oils are present, or where low viscosity cutting oils are allowed to adhere to the unit for long periods of time. If the GP’s front face protection sheet becomes peeled off, these conditions can lead to the ingress of oil into the GP and separate protection measures are suggested. Also, if nonapproved oils are present, it may cause deformation or corrosion of the front panel’s plastic cover. Therefore, prior to installing the GP be sure to confirm the type of conditions that will be present in the GP’s operating environment. If the installation gasket is used for a long period of time, or if the unit and its gasket are removed from the panel, the original level of the protection cannot be guaranteed. To maintain the original protection level, be sure to replace the installation gasket regularly.

Clock Accuracy ± 65 seconds/ month (at r oom temperature)

The GP's internal clock has a slight error. At normal operating temperatures and conditions, with the GP operating from its lithium battery, the degree of error is 65 seconds per month. Variations in operating conditions and battery life can cause this error to vary from -380 to +90 seconds per month. For systems where this degree of error will be a problem, the user should be sure to monitor this error and make adjustments when required.

For details about installing the gasket, refer to

8.1.2 Installation Gasket Check/Replacement

• Before installing the GP into a cabinet or panel, check that the installation gasket is securely attached to the unit.

• A gasket which has been used for a long period of time may have scraches or dirt on it, and could have lost much of its dust and drip resistance. Be sure to change the gasket periodically (or when scratches or dirt become visible).

• Be sure to use gasket model PS300-WP00.

• Be sure the gasket's seam is not inserted into any of the unit's corners, only in the straight sections of the groove. Inserting it into a corner may lead to its eventually tearing.

3.2 Wiring Precautions

3.2.1 Connecting the Power Cord

WARNINGS

• To avoid an electric shock, be sure the power cord is unplugged from the power outlet when connecting the power terminals to the GP unit.

• The GP2300-LG41-24V/GP2300-SC41-24V/GP2300TC41-24V and GP2301-LG41-24V/GP2301-SC41-24V/ GP2301-TC41-24V are designed to use only DC24V power. Using any other level of power can damage both the power supply and the GP unit.

• Since the GP is not equipped with the power switch, be sure to connect a breaker type power switch to the GP’s power cord.

• Be sure to ground the GP’s FG terminal. Failure to do so can lead to an electrical shock or GP malfunction.

• To prevent the Ring Terminals from causing a short when the terminal block attachment screws are loosened, be sure to use sleeve-type Ring Terminals.

• When the FG terminal is connected, be sure the wire is grounded. Not grounding the GP unit will result in excessive noise. Use your country’s applicable standard for grounding.

3.2.3 Grounding

• The SG and FG terminals are connected internally in the GP unit.

• When connecting the SG line to another device, be sure that the design of the system/connection does not produce a shorting loop.

• Wherever possible, use thick wires (max 2mm2) for power terminals, and twist the exposed wire ends when connecting the Ring Terminals.

• Please use the following size crimp-on type Ring Terminals.

According to how the GP is used, select either Operation priority (OPE.) or Display priority .

• Operation

Setup the GP to this option when using the GP mainly as an operation panel. As a result, the GP will command better touch panel numeric input and switch response times.

Leaving the GP in this mode does not drastically influence the touch panel operation response time of other GPs. The screen display renewal cycle,however, will slow .

• Display

Setup the GP to this option when using the GP mainly as a monitor screen. The GP will command a higher display speed as a result; however, the response time for the touch panel's operations will slow .

• In a standard network setup, use the same setup for all connected GP's.

• To increase the display speed, be sure the addresses used are consecutive addresses. When bit addresses are used, use consecutive to the word units.
