Preface
This manual introduces the procedures to replace a GP-577RT/S unit with a unit in
GP-4501T/TW.
Model in use Recommended Substitution
GP-4501T*1
GP-577RT/S GP-4501TW*1
*1: A recommended substitution differs depending on a power supply type of the model you use.
When replacing AC power supply type
(GP577R-TC11/GP577R-SC11);
When replacing DC power supply type
(GP577R-TC41-24V/ GP577R-SC41-24V);
The power supply type is AC, but
the panel cutout dimensions
are different. An attachment is
required.
We recommend GP-4501TW
whose power supply type and
panel cutout dimensions are the
same as those of
GP577R-TC41-24V/
GP577R-SC41-24V.
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)

2.2 Touch Panel specifications
2.2.1 When replacing GP-577RT/S with GP-4501T
You can select the Matrix type (2-point touch input at the same time same as
GP-577RT/S) or the Analog type (1-point touch input) for Touch Panel Type.
For the Analog type, if you touch two points at the same time, only the first touched
point is recognized, but the second touched one is not.
If you use the Analog type, change to 1-point touch input setting using the switch
delay function of GP-Pro EX.
There’s a model number difference between the Analog type and the Matrix type.
For details, see GP4000 Series Model Number.
2.2.2 When replacing GP-577RT/S with GP-4501TW
GP-4501TW adopts the Analog type.
For the Analog type, even if you touch two points at the same time, it’s recognized
that the coordinates located between these two points are touched.
If you have used the 2-point touch input on GP-577RT/S, change to the 1-point
touch input setting using the switch delay function of GP-Pro EX.
If you use the Matrix type that enables 2-point touch input at the same time, you
can replace GP-577RT/S with GP-4501T.
There’s a model number difference between the Analog type and the Matrix type.
For details, see GP4000 Series Model Number.
2.3 Panel cutout dimensions (only when replacing with GP-4501T)
The size of GP-4501T gets smaller. The panel cutout dimensions of GP-4501T are
different from those of GP-577RT/S. Attachment (model: CA4-ATM10-01) for
installing GP-4501T is available and you can use it when replacing GP-577RT/S with
GP-4501T.
For replacing the other models, there’s no change in the panel cutout dimensions.

2.4 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)
Please note that the cables (GPW-CB02, GPW-CB03, GP430-CU02-M) for GP-577RT/S
cannot be used for GP-4501T/TW.
2.5 Interface
2.5.1 Serial Interface
The pin assignment and the shape of plug/socket connector of GP-577RT/S 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].
2.5.2 Auxiliary I/O Interface (AUX)
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-577RT/S cannot be used.
13/48

2.5.3 CF Card Interface
(only when using “Multi Unit” (GP077-MLTS11, GP077-MLTE41))
GP-4501T/TW 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-577RT/S data saved in the CF card
and the functions using the CF card with using Multi Unit (GP077-MLTS11,
GP077-MLTE41), 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
For the GP-PRO/PBIII’s “CF Card output folder” setting, if project file is converted
on GP-Pro EX, 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].
(The sound output function of the Multi Unit (GP077-MLTS11, GP077-MLTE41)
cannot be used for GP-4501T/TW.)
2.6 Peripheral units and option units
2.6.1 Barcode reader connection
GP-4501T/TW is not equipped with a tool port. A barcode reader that used to be
connected to the tool port on GP-577RT/S cannot be used. However, GP-4501T/TW
allows you to connect a barcode reader on its USB interface (Type A) or its serial
interface.
For the models GP-4501T/TW supports, see [OtasukePro!]
(http://www.pro-face.com/otasuke/qa/3000/0056_connect_e.html).
14/48

2.6.2 Printer connection
GP-4501T/TW is not equipped with Centronics (parallel) Interface for a printer
though GP-577RT/S is equipped with it. If the printer for GP-577RT/S is used for
GP-4501T/TW, a converter that converts USB I/Fon GP-4501T/TW to Centronics
I/F is required. And GP-4501T/TW allows you to connect a printer on its USB port.
For the models GP-4501T/TW supports, see [OtasukePro!]
(http://www.pro-face.com/otasuke/qa/3000/0056_connect_e.html).

.3 Expansion Unit
GP-4501T/TW is not equipped with an expansion unit interface. The expansion unit
(each kind of unit like CC-LINK Unit) for GP-577RT/S cannot be used.
.4 Front Maintenance Unit
The front maintenance unit for GP-577RT/S (GP077-CFFM10) cannot be used for
GP-4501T/TW.
.5 Isolation Unit
The isolation unit for GP-577RT/S (CA2-ISOALL232-01, CA2-ISOALL422-01)
cannot be used for GP-4501T/TW. You can use the RS-232C isolation unit for
GP-4501T/TW (CA3-ISO232-01) instead.
2.7 Power Connector
.1 AC power supply type
The power connector on GP-4501T (AC type) has the same terminal block as
GP-577RT/S (AC type), but the FG location is different.
GP-4501TW has a DC power supply type only. When replacing GP-577RT/S (AC
type) with GP-4501TW, changing to DC power supply is required.
.2 DC power supply type
The power connector on GP-4501T/TW (DC type) is a spring lock type.
If you replace GP-577RT/S (DC type) with GP-4501T/TW (DC type), change the
power cable.

2.8 Backup Battery
Unlike GP-577RT/S, GP-4501T/TW 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.
Please change the battery.” appears. When the message appears, replace the battery
referring to the GP4000 series hardware manual.
