PROFACE GP4501T PFXGP4501TAD

Overview

PROFACE GP4501T PFXGP4501TAD is a 10.4-inch TFT color touchscreen HMI from the Pro-face GP4000 series. It is a DC-powered analog resistive touch operator panel, widely supplied as exchange spare for machine tools, packaging, injection molding and process control cabinet overhaul and HMI replacement.

Features

PROFACE GP4501T PFXGP4501TAD features VGA 640 × 480 resolution and 65,536 display colors, with LED backlight rated for 50,000 hours at 25°C. It supports built-in logic function capability, allowing simple ladder logic execution without an external PLC. The front face achieves IP65F protection when properly installed into a control panel cutout, suitable for workshop environments with splashes and dust.

PROFACE GP4501T PFXGP4501TAD integrates multiple native interfaces: 10/100 Ethernet, two serial COM ports (RS232C / RS422 / RS485), USB Type‑A, mini‑USB and SD card slot for project upload/download and data logging. It supports simultaneous multi-protocol communication with major PLC brands including Siemens, Allen‑Bradley, Mitsubishi and Omron. Configuration and screen programming are completed via Pro-face GP-Pro EX software. Integrated monitoring covers power supply, backlight and internal memory fault. It complies with UL, CE, RoHS and marine certification standards.

PROFACE GP4501T PFXGP4501TAD is widely supplied as service replacement spare for HMI operator failure.

Principle

PROFACE GP4501T PFXGP4501TAD runs the HMI runtime project downloaded from GP-Pro EX. It polls PLCs and field instruments over serial or Ethernet to read process values, status bits and alarm data. Touch operations trigger write commands to the controller. The backup SRAM retains recipe and history data with lithium battery support. The unit continuously monitors operating conditions and stores fault logs for maintenance review.

Applications

PROFACE GP4501T PFXGP4501TAD is deployed for injection molding machines, packaging lines, wire EDM, conveyor systems and water treatment skids. It is selected for spare inventory and control cabinet retrofit projects for existing GP4000 HMI systems.
