Use Excel to create multi-country text tables to allow the HMI operator to easily switch between display languages.
|
Expanded Use of Image Font |
|
|
|
|
Windows computer fonts may be used for the data display, text table, and alarm. Create a stylish and easy-to-read screen.
|
Automatic Font Size Adjustment |
|
|
|
|
Switching languages when multiple-languages are used automatically adjusts font sizes according to the size of the switches, lamps and message displays.
Extended alarm functions for reduced labor thanks to added enhanced functions.
(model with function expansion memory over 7.5 installed)
Extended alarm monitoring entry points from 2,048 to 32,767 thanks to extended functional memory installed in GP.
|
Share Multiple PLC Alarm Messages |
|
|
|
|
(model with function expansion memory over 7.5 installed)
Eliminates the need to individually create alarm messages through standardization of one message among multiple devices (addresses).
|
Switch Blocks in Alarm Indicator |
|
|
|
|
Reduce screen design and save time by using alarm blocks that display alarms based on the device or level of importance on one alarm indicator.
Maximize the value of your HMI and do more than before.

GP-Pro EX provides a built-in logic editor to create an all-in-one HMI plus Control application. Using one software for both screen development and ladder logic ensures glitch free operations and tighter revision control.
- Block-structured Subroutine
- Initialization logic, main logic and subroutines can be blocked, enabling smooth editing.
- Logic search/replace
- Search or replace the indefinite numbers of logic with the search window.
- Number of steps displayed
- The size of a logic program is easily viewed with the number of steps displayed up to 60,000 steps. The internal memory is reduced to 1MB for 60,000 steps (screen data).
- Tip Display for Comments
- Displaying comments as tips makes a program clear.
Comments can be displayed at any time.
- Comments
- Detailed explanations can be added to ensure that programs can be easily understood by people other than the original designer.
Develop a program or simple communication driver using Pro-face D-Script simplified language. Re-use GP2000 series D-Scripts created by user, no need to re-create work previous done.

models of 7.5-inch or larger
The screen data capacity (internal memory) is greatly increased
when transferring the screen data edited by GP-Pro EX Ver. 2.6.
With S/C class models 7.5-inch or larger with Rev. 4 or later:8MB→16MB
With M class models of 7.5-inch or larger:8MB→10MB
(GP-3750T can use up to 16MB when record and playback functions are not in use.)
