Preface
This guidebook introduces the procedures to replace a unit in GP/ST-3500 series with
a unit in GP-4501T/TW.
Model in use Recommended Substitution
GP-4501T*1
GP-3500S GP-4501TW*1
GP-3500L GP-4501TW
ST-3501T GP-4501T
ST-3501C GP-4501TW
*1: A recommended substitution differs depending on a power supply type of the model you use.
When replacing AC power supply type
(AGP3500-S1-AF);
When replacing DC power supply type
(AGP3500-S1-D24);
The power supply type is AC, but
the panel cutout dimensions
are different. An attachment is
required.
The panel cutout dimensions are
the same, but the power
supply type needs to be
changed to a DC type.
(*There’s no AC power supply
type)
We recommend GP-4501TW
whose power supply type and
panel cutout dimensions are the
same as those of
AGP3500-S1-D24.

2.2 Touch Panel specifications (only when replacing with GP-4501T)
For replacing GP3500/ST3500 series with GP-4501T, you can select the Matrix type
(2-point touch input at the same time same as GP2000 Series) or the Analog type
(1-point touch input) for Touch Panel Type.
For the Analog type, even if you touch two points at the same time, touch input of the
coordinates located between those two points is recognized. Take note of it.
There’s a model number difference between the Analog type and the Matrix type. For
details, see GP4000 Series Model Number.
2.3 Display Colors
The display type of GP-3500L and ST-3501C (when using a monochrome mode) is a
monochrome LCD, but GP-4501T/TW has a TFT color LCD. After replacement, the
black and white display changes to the color one.
When the setting of the display unit type is changed from a monochrome model to a
color one on GP-Pro EX, the data may be displayed in colors except black and white
depending on a setting. After changing the display unit type, please confirm the
display colors of the drawing or the parts on the screens just in case.
17/49

2.4 Panel Cutout Dimensions
The size of GP-4501T gets smaller. The panel cutout dimensions of GP-4501T are
different from those of GP-3500S. Attachment (model: CA4-ATM10-01) for installing
GP-4501T is available and you can use it when replacing GP-3500S with GP-4501T.
For replacing ST-3501C with GP-4501TW, the panel cutout dimensions get larger. It’s
necessary to process the panel.
In other cases, there’s no change in the panel cutout dimensions.
2.5 Transfer cable
To transfer screen data to GP-4501T/TW, use a USB transfer cable or Ethernet.
The USB cables that can be used for GP-4501T/TW are as follows;
Model Connector Type Connector on GP
CA3-USBCB-01
USB (Type A)
Options
ZC9USCBMB1
Commercial Item -
USB (Type mini B)
The same USB transfer cable (CA3-USBCB-01) as that for GP/ST-3500 series can be
used.
18/49

2.6 Interface
2.6.1 Serial Interface
The pin assignment and the shape of plug/socket connector of GP3000 series are
different from those of GP-4501T/TW.
To know the details about them, see [4.2 Shapes of COM ports] and [4.3 Signals of
COM ports].
Because of it, the existing PLC connection cables cannot be used as they are.
If you use the existing connection cables, see [4.5 Cable Diagram at the time of
replacement].
2.6.2 Auxiliary I/O Interface (AUX) (for GP-3500S/L only)
GP-4501T/TW 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-3500S/L cannot be used.
2.6.3 Sound Output Interface (for GP-3500S/L only)
GP-4501T/TW is not equipped with the sound output function. The sound output
function for GP-3500S/L cannot be used.
19/49

2.6.4 CF Card Interface
GP-4501T/TW is not equipped with a CF card slot. But a SD card slot and a USB
interfaces are installed. In order to use the GP/ST-3500 series data saved in the CF
card and the functions using the CF card, use a SD card or a USB flash drive
instead.
* When using a SD card with GP-4501T/TW, please verify it supports the following
specifications:
File format Maximum capacity
SD FAT16 2GB
SDHC FAT32 32GB
When the setting of the output destination folder is set to “CF Card” on GP-Pro EX,
if you change the display unit type, the setting will automatically change to the one
that uses a SD card.
To change the setting of the output destination folder, see [5.1 Changing the
setting of the external media to use].
2.7 Peripheral units and option units
2.7.1 Barcode reader connection
Like GP/ST-3500 series, GP-4501T/TW allows you to connect a barcode reader to
its USB interface (Type A) or its serial interface.
But a barcode reader cannot be connected to its serial interface.
For the models GP-4501T/TW supports, see [OtasukePro!]
(http://www.pro-face.com/otasuke/qa/3000/0056_connect_e.html).
2.7.2 Printer connection
Like GP/ST-3500 series, GP-4501T/TW allows you to connect a printer on its USB
interface (Type A).
For the models GP-4501T/TW supports, see [OtasukePro!]
(http://www.pro-face.com/otasuke/qa/3000/0056_connect_e.html).
