1.5.1.1 For Those Using the GP6000 Series

The following are the precautions for the GP6000 series.

The display unit is equipped with System Settings separate from offline mode. For information about the System Settings, refer to the GP6000 Series hardware manual.

Configure the following in the System Settings, not in offline mode.

Main Unit - Ethernet settings
Maintenance Menu - Calibrate Touch Panel

The Date & Time in the System Settings synchronizes with the Time Setting in offline mode. We recommend adjusting the time setting in offline mode after the project file is transferred.
M.2.2 Adjusting the clock on the Display

The [Timezone] in the [System Settings] - [Date and Time] is ignored.

The [DNS Settings] in the [System Settings] - [Ethernet] are ignored.

When the [System Settings] - [Ethernet] - [IP Mode] is set to [Auto], the display unit automatically obtains an IP address when connected to the network but cannot resolve names because the [DNS Settings] are ignored. When you specify the display unit from the Transfer Tool or other means, specify the IP address displayed in [System Settings] - [Information].

We recommend using the Port Control feature in GP-Pro EX to control communication and prevent unauthorized access.
M.17.4.4 Security Settings - Port Control

Do not use the following Ethernet port numbers in a project file because these Ethernet port numbers are used by the display unit system.

3000
4804
8001
8080

When the backlight is OFF (standby mode), the status LED flashes in green (ON/OFF every 3 seconds).

If you use a display unit with matrix touch panel technology, the size of each switch should be 25x25 pixels or larger. To draw in 25 dot increments, from the [View] menu, select [Preferences]. In the dialog box, select [Screen Edit Style]. In the [Grid] tab, select the [Snap to Grid] check box to select a 25x25 dot grid.

In addition, you cannot switch to the System Settings screen in the Remote HMI Client, even if you touch the [System Settings] button in offline mode.
