The high-resolution, wide-format screens of the new G304K2 and G307K2 panels drive productivity in industrial environments through improved visibility, management and control.
The 4-in. G304K2 includes an Ethernet port (10 base-T/100 base-TX) and supports up to four Ethernet protocols from a list of over 70 supported protocols. Two serial protocols – chosen from a list of over 150 – may also be assigned to the unit’s RS232 and RS485 ports, allowing it to communicate with an unlimited number of disparate devices simultaneously. The 7-in. G307K2 offers a WVGA wide screen with a resolution of 800x480 for organizations who require a larger display. The high-definition display supports 32K colors to provide superior clarity for detailed user interfaces. The panel supports up to four Ethernet and three serial protocols simultaneously.
According to the company, both models excel at protocol conversion, which allows integrators and system designers to seamlessly integrate disparate equipment. End users are also able to use the Ethernet port to upgrade existing serial-based control systems, which avoids the risk and downtime associated with traditional PLC upgrades. The company's Crimson 3.0 software, which includes access to over 220 communications protocols, comes standard with either model.
