2.2 Touch Panel specifications
2.2.1 When replacing GP-2601T/2501T/2500S/2500L
For replacing GP-2601T/2501T/2500S/2500L with GP-4601T/4501T, you can
select the Matrix type (2-point touch input at the same time) or the Analog
Resistive Film type (1-point touch input) for Touch Panel Type.
For the Analog Resistive Film type, if you touch two points at the same time, only
the first touched point is recognized, but the second touched one is not.
If you use the Analog Resistive Film type, change to 1-point touch input setting
using the switch delay function of GP-Pro EX.
There’s a model number difference between the Analog Resistive Film type and the
Matrix type. For details, see GP4000 Series Model Number
.
2.2.2 When replacing GP-2501S/L
GP-4501TW adopts the Analog Resistive Film type.
For the Analog Resistive Film type, even if you touch two points at the same time,
it’s recognized that the coordinates located between these two points are touched.
If you have used the 2-point touch input on GP-2501S/L, change to the 1-point
touch input setting using the switch delay f unction of GP-Pro EX.
If you use the Matrix type that enables 2-point touch input at the same time, you
can replace GP-2501S/L with GP-4501T.
There’s a model number difference between the Analog Resistive Film type and the
Matrix type. For details, see GP4000 Series Model Number
.
2.3 Display Colors (for GP-2500L and GP-2501L only)
The display type of GP-2500L/2501L is a monochrome LCD , but GP4000 series has a
TFT color LCD. After replacement, the 2-color display changes to the color one.
When data of a monochrome model are converted to data of a color model with GP-Pro
EX, the converted data may be displayed in colors except black and white depending
on a setting of GP-PRO/PBIII. After conversion, please confirm the display colors of
the drawing or the parts on the screens just in case.
20/61
Page 21
2.4 Panel Cutout Dimensions (for GP-2500S/L and GP-2501T only)
The size of GP-4501T gets smaller. The panel cutout dimensions of GP-4501T are
different from those of GP2500 series. Attachment (model: CA4-ATM10-01) for
installing GP-4501T is available and you can use it when replacing GP2500 series with
GP-4501T.
For replacing GP-2601T or GP-2501S, there’s no change in the panel cutout
dimensions.
2.5 Transfer cable
To transfer screen data to GP4000 series, use a USB transfer cable or Ethernet.
The USB cables that can be used for GP4000 series are as follows:
Model Connector Type Connector on GP
CA3-USBCB-01
USB (Type A)
Options
ZC9USCBMB1
Commercial Item
-
USB (Type mini B)
Please note that the cables (GPW-CB02, GPW-CB03, GP430-CU02-M) for GP2000
series cannot be used for GP4000 series.
2.6 Interface
2.6.1 Serial Interface
The COM ports (COM1 and COM2) on GP4000 series are D-Sub 9 pin male. The
COM1 port of GP2000 series is D-Sub 25 pin female and the C OM2 por t is D-sub9
pin male, and the pin assignment and the shape of male/female connector are
different from those of GP4000 series. Because of it, the existing PLC connection
cables cannot be used. If you use the existing connection cables, see [4.5 Cable
Diagram at the time of replacement].
And when the both COM1 and COM2 ports on GP-2500S/L ha ve RS-2 32C setting,
if you replace GP-2500S/L with GP4000 series, devices with RS-232C cannot be
connected to the COM2 port.

2.7
.2 Auxiliary I/O Interface (AUX)
GP-4000 series is not equipped with Auxiliary I/O Feature. External Reset Input
and 3 Outputs (RUN Output, System Alarm Output, and External Buzzer Output)
that can be used for GP-2401T cannot be used.
.3 Sound Output Interface (for GP2500S/L only)
GP4000 series is not equipped with the sound output function. The sound output
function for GP2000 series cannot be used.
.4 CF Card Interface
GP4000 series is not equipped with a CF card slot. But a SD card slot (except
GP-4301TW) and a USB interface are installed. In order to use the GP2000 series
data saved in the CF card and the f unctions usi ng the CF car d, use a S D card or a
USB flash drive instead.
For the GP-PRO/PBIII’s ‘CF Card output folder’ setting, if project data is converted
on GP-Pro EX, the setting will automatically change to the one that uses a SD card.
T o change the setting of the output destination folder , see [Changing the setting of
the external media to use].
2.7 Peripheral units and options
.1 Barcode reader connection
GP4000 series is not equipped with a tool port. A barcode reader that used to be
connected to the tool port on GP2000 series cannot be used. However, GP4000
series allows you to connect a barcode reader on its USB interface (Type A).
For the models GP4000 series supports, see [OtasukePro!]
(http://www.pro-face.com/otasuke/
).
2.7.2 Pinrter Connection
GP4000 series is not equipped with Centronics (parallel) Interface for a printer
though GP2000 series is equipped with it. If the printer for GP2000 series is used
for GP4000 series, a converter that converts USB I/F on GP4000 series to
Centronics I/F is required. And GP4000 series allows you to connect a printer on its
USB port.
For the models GP4000 series supports, see [OtasukePro!]
(http://www.pro-face.com/otasuke/
).

.3 Expansion Unit
GP4000 series is not equipped with an expansion unit interface. The expansion unit
(each kind of unit like CC-LINK Unit) for GP2000 series cannot be used.
.4 Front Maintenance Unit
The front maintenance unit for GP2000 series (GP077-CFFM10) cannot be used for
GP4000 series.
.5 Isolation Unit (except GP-2601T)
The isolation unit for GP2000 series (CA2-ISOALL232-01, CA2-ISOALL422-01)
cannot be used for GP4000 series. You can use the isolation unit for GP4000 series
(CA3-ISO232-01) instead.
2.8 Power Connector
.1 AC Power Supply Type
The power connector on GP4000 series (AC Type) has the same terminal block as
GP2000 series, but the FG location is different.
GP-4501TW has a DC power supply type only . When replacing GP-2501S (AC T ype)
with GP-4501TW, changing to DC power supply is required.
.2 DC Power Supply Type
The power connector on GP4000 series (DC Type) is a spring lock type. If you
replace GP2000 series with GP4000 series, change the power cable.

2.9 Backup Battery
Unlike GP2000 series, GP4000 series does not use rechargeable secondary batteries
but replaceable primary ones. (For both a rechargeable type and a replaceable one,
contents to be backed up are the same.)
When the time for replacement of backup batteries approaches, the message to urge
you to replace the battery, “RAAA053: Running out of power in the backup battery.
Please change the battery .” appears. When the message appears, replace the battery
referring to the GP4000 series hardware manual.

3.3 Receive screen data from GP2000 series
This section explains, as an example, how to receive screen data from GP2000 series
using a transfer cable, GPW-CB02 or GPW -CB03. If you have back ed up screen data,
this step is unnecessary; skip to the next section [3.4 Convert screen data with the
Project Converter].
1. Connect a transfer cable to the GP2000 series.
2. Strat up GP-PRO/PBIII for Windows and click the [Transfer] icon on the Project
Manager (Specify a desired project file.)
. On the [Transfer] window, select the [Setup] menu and cli ck [Transfer Settings.] 3

4. In the Communication Port field, select [COM], specify the COM port to which the
cable is connected, and click [OK].
If you use a USB transfer cable (GPW-CB03)…
You can check the COM port for the USB transfer cable (GPW-CB03),
which is assigned to the PC, with the Device Manager of Windows.

In case there is no Upload Information
“Upload Information” is necessary to receive screen data from GP2000 series. It
needs to be included in screen data when transferring screen data to the display
unit beforehand. The Upload Information is sent to the display unit by default,
however, you may check off the box of Upload Information to preven t screen
reception by a third party.
You ca n check in the following wa y if the Upload Information has been sent or not.
1. Enter into the GP’s Offline mode.
2. If there are 2 asterisk (*) marks in the Main menu as shown below, the
Upload Information has been sent.
If not, there is no Upload Information sent. In this case, a message, which
indicates there is no Upload Information,” appears and you cannot receive the
data.
