1.1 Solution description
Autonics GP-S070-T9D6 device from the GP/LP series is a 7.0 inch LCD color touch panel with
build-in serial connection through RS-422 and RS-232C ports. It is a standalone screen with custom OS
and dedicated graphic editor software to create up to 500 graphic pages.
Thanks to its characteristic, it can be added on top of any existing automation architecture with
different type of serial connection and can monitor different devices parameters or statuses and key
Setting Values or Present Values, facilitating the access to data that was not in the previous architecture.
This solution brings following benefits to your current installation:
Allows to monitor in real time PLC & devices status and feedback values
Allows a convenient control of the different parameters and setting values
Allows a fast and clear notification of the different alarms
This solution is optimized because:
Can be simply added on top of your current installation
Very small dimension so can be installed close to the controlling device for or local control
Internal graphics and control functions for standalone application without need of server or OS
licensing.

The GP device should be set to use its RS422 port and to control data registers of a XBM type device.
So we need:
- to create a GP-Editor project with XBM connection and different graphical
components to interact with the XBM registers
- to set communication parameters of the GP device to allow a connection with the
PC and GP-Editor
- to send the GP-Editor project to the GP device
- to check the serial communication settings of the GP connection with the XBM PLC.
Remarks:
In this document, we will use an Ethernet connection to download the GP-Editor project to the GP
device, please refer to the ‘GP-Editor Download Manual’ if you want to use another method (serial
connection or USB connection).
