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.

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.
