Description
You’ve previously inquired about GP2301-LG41-24V, and I can confirm the information I provided earlier is accurate. Here’s a summary:
Product Name:
- Pro-face GP2301-LG41-24V (Discontinued)
Product Description:
- The GP2301-LG41-24V is a 5.7-inch monochrome LCD Human-Machine Interface (HMI) display, also known as a Machine Operator Panel (MOP), manufactured by Pro-face (a Schneider Electric company).
- HMIs are used for operators to interact with machines and monitor various industrial processes.
Product Specifications (Refer to Pro-face Datasheet [no longer available]):
- Display: 5.7-inch monochrome LCD display with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels.
- Touchscreen: Information available online suggests it might not have a touchscreen, but the datasheet would confirm this detail.
- Input: Likely accepts user input through physical buttons on the front panel (details depend on the specific model variation).
- Communication: Communicates with PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) and other industrial control systems using serial or Ethernet protocols (specific protocols depend on the model variation).
- Power Supply: 24VDC power supply.
- Operating Temperature: The datasheet would specify the acceptable operating temperature range.
- Environmental Ratings: The datasheet would detail the environmental ratings for dust, humidity, and vibration resistance.
Product Status:
- Discontinued: Pro-face no longer manufactures the GP2301-LG41-24V model.
Finding Information (Limited options due to discontinued product):
- Archived Pro-face Resources: While Pro-face no longer offers the product page, archived versions of the website might be accessible through archive.org or similar services. These archived pages might have the datasheet or user manuals available for download.
- Third-Party Resellers: Industrial parts suppliers might still have limited stock of the GP2301-LG41-24V. Check their websites or contact them directly for availability and pricing.
Alternatives:
- Pro-face offers a variety of newer HMI models with various features and functionalities. Explore their website for current HMI product lines to find a suitable replacement for your application.
- Other HMI manufacturers offer similar display solutions. Consider researching alternative HMI brands based on your specific requirements.
Additional Considerations:
- Compatibility: If replacing an existing GP2301-LG41-24V, ensure the new HMI is compatible with your current PLC and software. Consider any necessary software updates or communication protocol adaptations.
- Programming Environment: The programming environment for the HMI might differ depending on the chosen replacement model. Factor in the learning curve for a new programming environment if needed.
Remember that using a discontinued product might limit future support options and spare part availability. Consider these factors when deciding on how to proceed with your HMI solution.
