2.2 Display Colors (only when replacing GP-3300L/3301L/3302B)
The display color of GP-3300L/3301L/3302B is monochrome, but GP-4301TW has a
TFT color LCD. After replacement, the display color changes from monochrome to
color.
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 depending on the GP-Pro
EX version or settings of the drawing/the parts on the screens.
After changing the display unit type, please confirm the display colors of the drawing
or the parts on the screens just in case.
If the display is in colors after changing the display unit type…
GP-Pro EX Ver. 3.01.200 (Service Pack1) or later supports the function which
changes drawing in colors to monochrome. To change the color to monochrome,
follow the steps below.
(1) Click [Project]->[System Settings]->[Display Unit].

19
(2) Open the [Display Settings] tab.
(3) Change [Color] setting to “16 Levels Monochrome, 3-Speed Blink”.
* [Reverse Display] setting is for displaying the screen with black/white reversed.
Check on this setting if needed.
* Please confirm the display colors of the drawing or the parts on the screens after
changing the [Color] setting.
2.3 Transfer cable
To transfer screen data to GP-4301T/TW, use a USB transfer cable or Ethernet.
The USB cables that can be used for GP-4301T/TW are as follows:
Model
Connector Type
Connector on GP
Options
CA3-USBCB-01
USB (Type A)
ZC9USCBMB1
USB (Type mini B)
Commercial Item
-
The same USB transfer cable (CA3-USBCB-01) as the one for GP-3300 series can be
used.

2.4 Interface
2.4.1 Serial Interface
The pin assignment and the shape of plug/socket connector of GP-3300 series are
different from those of GP-4301T/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].
* For the models except GP-3302B:
When both the COM1 port and the COM2 port have the RS-422/485 setting, only
the COM2 port can be used for RS-422/485 connection after replacement.
Using a USB/RS-422/485 Conversion Adapter (PFXZCBCBCVUSR41) allows you to
use GP4000 series’ USB interface as RS-422/485 serial interface for connection.
For more information, please refer to USB/RS-422/485 Conversion Adapter
Installation Guide.

&cat=3)
IMPORTANT
When using USB/RS-422/485 Conversion Adapter (PFXZCBCBCVUSR41) with a
display unit, the device/PLCs you can connect to its serial interface
(RS-422/485) are limited. To check the connection configuration, please refer to
GP-Pro EX Device/PLC Connection Manual.
