Upgraded version screen editor, "GP-Pro EX"
Movement of machinery is clearly visible on the screen & the creation time can also be reduced

Posted: 2008, June 16

Brief

The major manufacture*1 in touch-screen operator terminals, Pro-face has released an upgraded version screen editor "GP-Pro EX*2 Version 2.2" as of the 16th of June. A reduction in creation time has been made possible by using an animation function. The switches and lamps ON/ OFF settings, image rotation and color alteration of bitmap images can easily be set within a single screen, thus allowing the movement of the devices to be monitored at a glance.

A number of graphic parts and special settings have previously been required for animation display. A single screen can now display the required images thus reducing creation time. Moreover, the image file and data were previously displayed and created by individual equipment and production lines. The maintenance has now become easy thanks to being able to manage with a single screen.

  1. Source: The share of displays with touch-panels (programmable display) is 39.2% in Japan. The panel computer's share is 44.3% in Japan (2007 Fuji Keizai, Mechatronic Parts). The share for Touch screen operator terminals is 22.9% in the world (IMS research in 2006).
  2. GP-Pro EX is screen editor software for "A New Concept in Graphic operator Interface, GP3000 Series", "Graphic Logic Controllers, LT3000 Series", "Industrial computers, IPC Series".
