1.2 Overview
The GN series touch panels are human-machine interfaces (HMIs) designed for demanding
industrial applications such as installation in an instrument panel or switching cabinet.
NOTE
All versions are suitable for installation in an instrument panel or switching
cabinet. Use the mounting clamps included with the product.
The GN series includes:
•
GN07, 7" display
•
GN10, 10.4" display
•
GN12, 12.1" display
•
GN15, 15" display
In front of the display there is a touch screen that also protects the display surface from dirt
and scratches. The system is suitable for operation in harsh industrial environments.
The GN is equipped with interfaces such as 1x serial COM1 (RS232), 2x LAN (10/100/1000
Mbps), 2x USB (2.0), 1x VGA. Additional interfaces can be installed as follows:
•
The GN10/GN12/GN15 can be expanded with up to two different modules for
RS422/485 industrial fieldbus interfaces and/or an additional serial port COM2 as
RS232.
•
The GN07 can be expanded with one module for the RS422/485 or an industrial
fieldbus interface or an additional serial port COM2 as RS232.
The GN is designed to be connected to a +24V DC power supply using the DC power plug
(included).
NOTE
The GN series touch panels are designed to fulfill the IP65 degree of protection
for the front side. However, the USB connector on the front (if present) must be
covered by the elastic captive rubber coat.
The GN is a fanless system. The cooling of the unit is performed by ventilation holes in the
housing. The ventilation holes are located at the sides of the device and provide air circulation
in order to prevent the system from overheating.
NOTE
When powering on the GN, make sure that the ventilation holes are not
obstructed.
