The GP2300S is a 6in STN colour human machine interface with built-in Ethernet and Internet communication features and a second serial port.

Already released in TFT colour and monochrome, this STN colour unit will fill the price gap, allowing the use of a colour unit in a project that needs Ethernet or a second serial port, at an economical price.

As with all units in the GP2300 range, they use the Pro-face GP-Pro/PBIII-C-Package programming software, for connection to all major worldwide PLCs.

Features of the GP2300S are basically as per the GP2301S range but also include: Ethernet data handling; a high-speed controller connection; data collection and remote monitoring via an intranet or the Internet; screen data maintenance via network; and a second programmable RS232 port for connecting serial devices such as barcode readers (including two-dimensional types).
