Warnings and safety
Printing conventions used in the manual
PREFACE
While all the information contained in this manual has been
carefully checked, Gefran S.p.A. accepts no responsibility
for the possible presence of errors or for damage to persons
and/or property caused by the improper use of the manual.
Gefran S.p.A. also reserves the right to make changes to
the contents and form of this manual and to the characteri-
stics of the devices illustrated at any time and without prior
warning.
The installation of the devices illustrated in the manual must
be carried out by qualied technicians in compliance with
the laws and standards in force and in agreement with the
instructions contained in the manual.
If the GF_VEDO SL is used in applications with the risk of
damages to persons, machinery or materials, its use in con-
junction with alarms is essential.
It is advisable to envisage the possibility of checking the in-
tervention of the alarms during regular operation.
Before interacting with the Controller and built-in Operator
Panel, the operator must receive full training in the proce-
dures of operation, emergency, diagnosis and maintenance
of the system.
Pay attention to the use of the following symbols.
Highlights particularly important information which
inuences the correct operation of the product or
of safety or an instruction which must absolutely
be followed.
Highlights a risk condition for the safety of the in-
staller or the user, due to the presence of dange-
rous levels of voltage.

GENERAL
Overview of the solution and functionalities
Architecture
GF_VEDO SL is the complete process and automation con-
trol solution, which allows sequence control, process mana-
gement, programming and display of data and connectivity
with a single modular system.
To this end, a combination of “technological functions”,
such as the management of PWM, fast counters, data ling
by data logger, temperature PID, data export via FTP, ena-
bling the rapid creation of applications, is made available.
Controller and Operator Panel integrated into a single devi-
ce, complete with PLC embedded run time, available with
a 3.5” or 7” wide display (the latter in either a horizontal or
vertical version).
Thanks to its exibility and ease of use can be used in a va-
riety of sectors and for numerous process and automation
process controls, such as:
• the wood industry (gluing, etc.);
• packaging (packing, labelling, etc.);
• food industry (pasteurisers, etc.);
• chemical industry (autoclaves, etc.);
• metal working (washing, etc.);
• plastic working (dryers, coolers, etc.).

GF_VEDO series SL models 35CT – 70CT – V70CT
The integrated Controller and Operator Panel allows the complete
management of automation.
Available in 3 versions:
35CT 3,5” color touch;
70CT 7” color touch for horizontal installation;
V70CT 7” color touch for vertical installation;
and equipped with a powerful 400 MHz processor.
It is destined mainly to operate in an industrial environment on the
control panels of production process machines or processes.
The operator interacts through a colour touch screen.
Depending on the model, the size of the screen is 3.5” or 7” wide.
As an option, the device can be equipped with programmable func-
tion buttons.
Thanks to its numerous communication ports (some of which are
optional), it is possible to connect a wide range of devices to the
controller, such as computers, barcode readers, USB sticks, mo-
dems, printers, etc., and connect it to an Ethernet network.
The remote input and output modules (CAN-IO/GILOGIK II) are
connected by bus to the CAN port (CANopen).
Other CANopen standard compliant devices can also be connected
to the bus.
