New from Pro-face, the AGP3000 Series of multimedia touchscreens has been built with more functions and more power than ever before.

The AGP3000 Series lineup comprises 16 touchscreens in monochrome and colour, in five sizes of display ranging from 6 to 15in, with more colours than ever before (65,000 colours for TFT and 4096 colours for STN).

An aluminium housing is standard for all touchscreens to provide improved heat dissipation.

The AGP3000 Series offers more power and functionality with an extremely powerful CPU, and has interface connections for Ethernet, USB as standard, with the choice of colour or monochrome LCD and 16 or 32Mbyte of HDD and CF cards as data storage media.

The sound and video multimedia functionality enhances monitoring and troubleshooting procedures, capturing images for storage or transference through a network.

GP Pro-Ex is the powerful programming software for the AGP3000 Series.

With additional functionality, image drawing time has been cut in half thanks to the easy usability of this new editor.

The next generation of human-machine interface and screen creation software simplifies the creation of data resources, giving a dramatic 50% reduction in screen creation steps.

GP-Pro Ex, the new intuitive and ergonomic interface for the AGP3000 Series offers several simultaneous protocols with simplified multi-language management facilities.

The new objects graphic libraries with high-quality parts images gives users the ability to easily create attractive screens.

The switch illustrations break down language barriers and transmit information more accurately whilst additional import of images including JPEG and bitmaps enhance usability.

GP Pro-Ex has built-in forward compatibility for projects developed with GP Pro/PBIII for seamless integration into the next generation of factory automation.

Together, the AGP3000 Series and GP-Pro-Ex provides advanced technology for fast connectivity and production in real-time environments.
