1.5.14.1 For Those Using the SP5000 Series

The following are the features and precautions for the SP5000 series.

NVRAM is used as a backup memory. Please regard all instances of "SRAM" in this document as "NVRAM".

The features that can be used in the Premium Display and the Advanced Display are different. If you are replacing the display module, make sure to check the differences in features first.
1.5.14.2 SP5000 Series

Open Box (SP-5B40) not only runs the project files created with GP-Pro EX and communicates with the device/PLC, but also allows you to run user-created applications using the API functions. For more details, please refer to the following.
39.1 Overview

Set the IP addresses for LAN1 and LAN2 with different network segments. If you set an IP address with the same network segment in the display unit, the communication may not work properly.

When the Operation Lock feature is used while connecting with Ethernet Multilink or GP-Viewer EX, one of the multiple Ethernet settings the SP5000 series have will be displayed as the IP address of the location of the Operation Lock. Therefore, the IP address displayed may differ from that of the LAN port currently connected.

On the Power Box (SP-5B10), when the forced transfer dialog box is displayed, use the Power Box's LAN1 port (Ethernet 1 port) for Ethernet forced transfer. If connected to LAN2 (Ethernet 2 port), the Transfer Tool does not recognize the Power Box.

When changing from a non-SP5000 series model to a SP5000 series model, or when changing between SP5000 series models, see the following.
5.6.1 Restrictions on Changing Models

If you display the system menu or Brightness/Contrast Control Bar in offline mode, updates to time display or other displays will be suspended temporarily.

About the System Card

In the SP5000 series, the system card contains information required to operate the display unit, such as system settings and project files for the display unit. If a SP5000 series box module breaks, you can just insert the system card you were using in another box module of the same type, making recovery quick.

System card for Power Box (SP-5B10): Pro-face SD card (Type: PFXZCDSD1GC61), 1 GB

System card for Power Box (SP-5B40): Pro-face CFast card (Type: PFXZCDSCCFA162), 16 GB

If you insert the system card to another box module, the backup memory inside the box module will be initialized. As needed, back up the data on the backup memory on to external storage before conducting the backup.
5.4.4.4 Display Unit [Mode] - Memory Card Settings

When replacing the system card, use SD Cards or CFast cards made by Digital Electronics Corporation.

When replacing the system card, turn off the display unit and remove the box module from the display module. Check the Hardware Manual on how to replace the system card.

For backing up the system card, refer to the Pro-face support site (http://www.pro-face.com/trans/en/manual/1001.html).

We recommend that you set a password to prevent any unauthorized use of the system card data in other box modules.
