LT4000M Series (Modular)

Use a separation cable* to install the control unit on a DIN rail and the operation unit in a different location. Operation unit is space-saving, and it allows you to install the unit flexibly even though it is difficult to install it due to limitations of space.

The Ethernet Multi-Link function allows you to easily add a display unit as a sub-display to the facility without changing any settings of the control device.

UL Hazardous Locations Class I, Division 2 Group A, B, C and D.

Screens and logic programs can be edited with the same software, and the same addresses or user-defined control symbols can be shared for both screen parts and logic elements with drag-and-drop operation. Controller addresses can be written directly to help reduce development time.
Using the Function Block feature lets you reuse configured logic components and protect technical know-how via password protection.<br>

GP-Pro EX supports screens made using previous models of LT Series.
Data created in GP-Pro/PBIII for Windows or later versions can be converted instantly in Project Converter.

A variety of ready-made sample parts are available for download. Sample parts can be used immediately after download, which lets you significantly reduce time spent on screen design.

Pro-face HMIs support connection with a wide range of industrial controllers including PLCs, motion controllers, robots, and other devices.

With the conventional recipe function, all recipe data must be stored at continuous addresses. The new recipe function allows writing random addresses and multiple data formats as a recipe.

Text, bits, and variables that could only be set for devices as numeric values can now be mixed. Connected devices + internal addresses can also be set.

As the tag information of STEP7 Project Files created by Siemens PLC can be imported to GP-Pro EX screen data, you can reduce the man-hours for screen creation.

Lamps can be configured in six colors with four lighting states in the screen editor software, GP-Pro EX.
EZ illuminated switches feature easily customizable insert labels.

The EZ fingerprint recognition unit can reduce problems or accidents caused by inappropriate password use.
Fingerprint data is registered and maintained through an HMI or PC connected to the fingerprint recognition unit.

GP-Pro EX Simulation is an off-line simulation function which enables verification of screens, logic programs, and program operation without connecting to an HMI.

Use remote monitoring software, GP-Viewer* or data management software, Pro-Server EX* to easily monitor and control HMI screens on the production site, or distribute instruction data and collect real-time production data.

The natural link between the process and your tablet or smartphone. By adding the APP true mobile operation will be possible without loss of operability. Confirm the cause of an error directly with your mobile device and see if the machine can be put back into operation without going on site.

Collect information of operation progress on a PC via Ethernet network. Download operating instructions, such as recipes, from an office PC to a GP.

The screen of theHMI on the site can be monitored from a PC at a remote location.

Easy ascending/descending sorting and conditional search using symbols such as =, > or < of Alarm Part and Sampling Display.

GP-Pro EX provides the ability to display error logs in graph form, making it easy to analyze the causes of a problem.
Supported features include enlarged/reduced display, auxiliary line display for upper and lower limits, and XY scatter graphs.

In combination with a COGNEX In-Sight vision system, the settings can be changed when watching images from the cameras onHMI on site.

When an error occurs, an operator can easily seek and check the condition on-site, just by touching the alarm message to call up various error-related data in chronological order. An alarm analysis screen with timing chart of alarm-related device addresses can be simply configured only through a few steps on GP-Pro EX software for easy troubleshooting, debugging and/or design changes of production equipment to reduce downtime for enhanced productivity.

The change in the collected data over time is displayed in an easy-to-understand form with a graph. The graph can be traced back to see the past data.

Operations are saved to a log, so you can see who did what, and when. The log can also be used for a trend analysis of erroneous operation of operators.
