2.2 Touch panel Specifications
GP-4301TM adopts Analog resistive film type.
Because of it, GP-4301TM doesn’t support 2-point touch input (touching 2 points on the
screen at the same time). Even if two different points are touched at the same time,
that’s recognized as touch input on the middle coordinates between those two points.
2.3 Display Colors (for GP-3301L/3302B and ST-3301B only)
GP-3301L/3302B and ST-3301B has monochrome LCD, but GP-4301TM has TFT color
LCD. After replacement, the black and white display changes to the color display.
When data of a monochrome model are converted to a color model with GP-Pro EX, the
data may be displayed in colors except black and white depending on a setting of
GP-Pro EX. After conversion, please confirm the display colors of drawing or parts on
screens just in case.
2.4 Panel cutout dimensions
The panel cutout of GP-4301TM is a φ22-mm circular hole. The panel cutout shape and
dimensions of GP-4301TM are different from those of GP/ST3000 series.

14/40
2.5 External Dimensions
For GP-4301TM, the front face display module (display part) and the back face main
module are separated. Compared with GP/ST3000 series, the tickness of the part
appearing on the installation panel differs.
2.6 Transfer cable
To transfer screen data to GP-4301TM, use a USB transfer cable or Ethernet. Use a USB
data-transfer cable (model: ZC9USCBMB1) or a commercial USB cable (USB A/mini-B).
Please note that the cables (CA3-USBCB-01) for GP/ST3000 series cannot be used for
GP-4301TM.

2.7 Interface
2.7.1 Serial Interface
For the COM ports of GP/ST3000 series and GP-4301TM, the signal of the serial port
is 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 the both COM1 and COM2 ports on GP/ST3000 series have setting, devices
can be connected to the COM1 port only after replacement with GP-4301TM.
- When the COM1 port is used for RS-232C connection and the COM2 port for
RS-422/485 connection:
Replace with GP-4301TW instead of GP-4301TM.
- When the both COM1 and COM2 ports are used for RS-422/485 connection:
Please contact our sales office in your region.
(http://www.pro-face.com/customer/contact.html)
2.7.2 CF Card Interface (for GP-3301S/L only)
GP-4301TM is not equipped with a CF card slot. You can use an USB storage device
instead of a CF card but GP-4301TM supports the function of saving sampled data in
CSV only (GP-Pro EX Ver. 3.01 or later is required). If you continue to use any other
functions set with a CF card for GP-3301S/L, replace GP-3301S/L with
GP-4301T/TW.
You can use the storage devices below instead after replacement:
GP-4301T
SD card
GP-4301TW
USB storage device
* GP-4301T/TW supports the same functions as GP-3301S/L.

16/40
2.8 Peripheral units and option units
2.8.1 Barcode reader connectoin
GP-4301TM allows you to connect a barcode reader on its USB interface (Type A) in
the same as GP/ST3000 series.
For the models GP-4301TM supports, see [OtasukePro!]
(http://www.pro-face.com/otasuke/qa/3000/0056_connect_e.html).H
And if you connect a barcode reader to GP-4301TM, be sure to supply power to the
barcode reader from an external power source (such as a USB hub supporting
self-power supply). When no power is supplied from an external power source, if the
barcode reader consumes more electricity than expected, operation of GP-4301TM
will become unstable and reset may be activated.
2.8.2 Printer connection
GP-4301TM does not support printer connection. A printer for GP/ST3000 series
cannot be used.
2.8.3 Expansion Unit
GP-4301TM is not equipped with an expansion bus unit. The expansion units (such
as CC-LINK) used for GP/ST3000 series cannot be used.
2.8.4 Isolation Unit
The isolation unit for GP/ST3000 series (CA3-ISO232-01, CA3-ISO485-01) cannot
be used for GP-4301TM.

17/40
2.9 Power Consumption
The power consumption of GP/ST3000 series is different from that of GP-4301TM.
For the detailed electric specifications, see the hardware manual.
2.10 Materials/Colors of the body
The materials and the colors of GP-2301S/L and GP-4301TM are as follows:
Color
Material
GP3000 series
Silver
Aluminum alloy
ST3000 series
Light Gray
Resin
GP-4301TM
Dark Gray

2.11 Backup Memory (SRAM)
GP-4301TM does not have SRAM, but uses a part of application memory as a backup
area. Data in the backup area is retained even after power off or reset of GP-4301TM in
the same way as SRAM. The functions possible for backup on GP-4301TM are as
follows:
- Alarm History (Up to 768)
- Recipe (Filing data)
- Brightness/Contrast values
* For the functions above, data is saved in the backup area at the time of “Save”.
* Sampling and clock data is not backed up. If you need these functions, replace
GP/ST3000 series with GP-4301TW (SRAM size: 128KB) or GP-4301T (SRAM size:
320KB) instead.

2.12 About Pro-Server
If the Pro-Server EX is used, please use Ver.1.32 or later. For details of the installation,
refer to the http://www.pro-face.com/otasuke/download/update/server_ex/.
2.13 Other Notes
Do not expose GP4000M series to direct sunlight.
Do not use GP4000M series outdoors.
Do not turn on GP4000M series if condensation has occurred inside the device.
When you are continuously using GP4000M series without oxygen, the
brightness might decrease. Please ventilate the control panel periodically.
