2.2 Display Resolution
The display resolution of GP-3310T is different from that of GP-4401WW. For
GP-4401WW, the screen area gets larger by 80 pixels right and left. If you draw on a
full screen, please edit it with GP-Pro EX.
If you check on [Convert Resolution] when changing the Display Unit type (as shown
below), you can adjust both size and location of the part and the text relative to the
display resolution automatically. But please note that their width gets larger due to
change of horizontal resolution of the screen area. In this case, confirm their size and
location and adjust them if necessary.
To know its details and how to change the Display Unit type, see [3.4 Change Display
Unit Type].
2.3 Panel Cutout Dimensions
For replacing GP-3310T with GP-4401WW, the panel cutout dimensions get larger. It’s
necessary to process the panel.

11
2.4 Transfer cable
To transfer screen data to GP-4401WW, use a USB transfer cable or Ethernet.
The USB cables that can be used for GP-4401WW 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-3310T can be used.
2.5 Interface
2.5.1 Serial Interface
For the COM ports of GP-3310T and GP-4401WW, the pin assignment and the
shape of plug/socket connector are different. 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
replacemet].
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.

12
For more information, please refer to USB/RS-422/485 Conversion Adapter
Installation Guide.
(http://www.pro-face.com/otasuke/download/manual/cgi/manual.cgi?mode=33
&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.
(http://www.pro-face.com/otasuke/files/manual/gpproex/new/device/index.h
tm)
If it’s not possible to use USB/RS-422/485 Conversion Adapter
(PFXZCBCBCVUSR41) for your connection, please contact our sales office in
your region. (http://www.pro-face.com/customer/contact.html)
2.5.2 CF Card Interface
GP-4401WW is not equipped with a CF card slot. But a SD card slot and a USB
interface are installed. In order to use the GP-3310T functions using the CF card,
use a SD card or USB flash drive for GP-4401WW instead.
* When using a SD card with GP-4401WW, please verify it supports the following
specifications:
File format
Maximum capacity
SD
FAT16
2GB

13
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].
2.5.3 USB Interface
GP-3310T has two USB ports (USB Type A) but GP-4401WW has only one.
If devices are connected to both USB ports on GP-3310T, use an USB hub for
GP-4401WW. Because of bus power limit on GP-4401WW USB port, it’s
recommended to use an USB hub supporting self-power supply and be sure to
check the operation.
Also, several USB devices of the same category in the following table cannot be
simultaneously used. Even if multiple USB devices of the same category are
connected to the display unit, only the first USB device recognized by the display
unit can be used.
USB Devices of the same category
Category
USB Device
1
Printer, USB-PIO converter
2
Keyboard, Numeric keys, Barcode reader
3
Mouse
4
USB storage (USB memory, CF/SD card reader, and so on)
5
USB transfer cable
6
USB-Serial (RS-232C) conversion cable, SUB/RS-422/485
Conversion Adapter
2.5.4 Sound Output Interface
GP-4401WW is not equipped with the sound output function. The sound output
function for GP-3310T cannot be used.

14
2.6 Peripheral units and options
2.6.1 Barcode reader connection
Like GP-3310T, GP-4401WW allows you to connect a barcode reader on its USB
interface (Type A) or its serial interface.
For the models GP-4401WW supports, see [OtasukePro!]
(http://www.pro-face.com/otasuke/qa/3000/0056_connect_e.html).
2.6.2 Printer Connection
Like GP-3310T, GP-4401WW allows you to connect a printer on its USB interface
(Type A).
For the models GP-4401WW supports, see [OtasukePro!]
(http://www.pro-face.com/otasuke/qa/3000/0056_connect_e.html).
2.6.3 Expansion Unit
GP-4401WW is not equipped with an expansion unit interface. The expansion units
(each kind of unit like CC-LINK Unit) for GP-3310T cannot be used.
2.6.4 Isolation Unit
RS-485 isolation unit for GP-3310T (CA3-ISO485-01) cannot be used for
GP-4401WW. You can use the RS-232C isolation unit (CA3-ISO232-01) for
GP-4401WW instead. In this case, select “VCC”from [System Settings] ->
[Device/PLC] in the [Project] menu on GP-Pro EX.
2.7 Backup Battery
Unlike GP-3310T, GP-4401WW does not use rechargeable secondary batteries but
replaceable primary ones. (For both a rechargeable type and a replaceable one,
contents to be backed up are the same.)
When the time for replacement of backup batteries approaches, the message to urge
you to replace the battery, “RAAA053: Running out of power in the backup battery.

15
Please change the battery.” appears. When the message appears, replace the battery
referring to the GP4000 series hardware manual.
Replaceable Battery Model
PFXZCBBT1
2.8 Power Consumption
The power consumption of GP-3310T is different from that of GP-4401WW.
GP-3310T
26W or less
GP-4401WW
12W or less
For the detailed electric specifications, see the hardware manual.
2.9 Materials/Colors of the body
The materials and the colors of GP-3310T and GP-4401WW are as follows:
GP-3310T
GP-4401WW
Color
Silver
Light Gray
Material
Aluminum alloy
Resin with glass

16
2.10 Backup Memory (SRAM)
When replacing GP-3310T with GP-4401WW, SRAM usage expands automatically
because of GP-Pro EX new functions.
If SRAM size of your project file is more than 128KB after changing Display Unit type
to GP-4401WW, replace GP-3310T with GP-4401T instead of GP-4401WW.
To check SRAM size, follow the steps below;
(1) Double click and open the project file (*.prx) on GP-Pro EX.
(2) Change the Display Unit type to “GP-4401WW”. To know how to change the
Display Unit type, see [3.4 Change the Display Unit Type].
(3) Click [Project]->[Information]->[Project Information]. The Project Information
window appears.
(4) Click [SRAM Information] to see SRAM size.
