Applications

The Proface GP2501-TC41-24V graphic panel is deployed across a wide range of industrial machinery and automation systems requiring centralized operator interface. In packaging machinery, the HMI provides screen controls for bagging, sealing, and cartoning equipment. In CNC machine tools, it displays spindle speed, feed rate, and tool offsets while providing program selection and editing capabilities.

Additional applications include injection molding machines for setpoint entry and process monitoring, material handling systems for conveyor status and product routing, and food processing equipment for batch parameter management. The Ethernet connectivity enables integration into plant-wide SCADA systems, while the CF card interface supports data logging for production reporting and quality assurance.
