Mitsubishi GT2310-VTBA / GT2310-VTBD GOT1000 HMI Touchscreen

The Mitsubishi GT2310-VTBA and GT2310-VTBD are human‑machine interface (HMI) terminals from the GOT1000 series. These compact 5.7‑inch TFT color LCD units provide 320 × 240 pixel (QVGA) resolution and a resistive touch panel. The VTBA model features a built‑in RS‑232 interface, while the VTBD adds an RS‑422/485 communication port. Both models are designed for direct connection to Mitsubishi Electric PLCs (MELSEC iQ‑R, iQ‑F, Q, L, FX series) and support third‑party controllers via optional drivers. With LED backlight, IP67F front panel protection, and 9 MB user memory, the GT2310 series is suitable for small to medium machine control applications such as packaging equipment, textile machines, and small assembly lines.

Display and Touch Features

The 5.7‑inch TFT display offers a wide viewing angle (140° horizontally, 120° vertically) and anti‑glare treatment for readability under factory lighting. The resistive touch panel can be operated with a finger, gloved hand, or stylus. Calibration is performed via the on‑screen utility. The LED backlight eliminates the need for lamp replacement, reducing maintenance.

Communication and Integration

The GT2310‑VTBD includes both RS‑232 and RS‑422/485 ports. The RS‑422/485 supports multi‑drop connection to up to 32 PLCs or devices using Mitsubishi’s MELSEC protocol. The RS‑232 port is typically used for programming or connecting to a bar code reader. An optional Ethernet module (GT25‑ETH) can be inserted into the expansion slot. The HMI supports data transfer via USB memory stick and can log historical data in CSV format.

Programming and Software

Project development is performed using Mitsubishi’s GT Works3 software. The software includes a library of pre‑built objects, alarm handling, recipe management, and data sampling. Programs are transferred via USB, serial, or memory card. The HMI supports multi‑language text, macro scripts, and screen switching based on machine states.

Environmental and Compliance

Front panel protection rating IP67F (oil‑resistant) allows washdown in food and beverage environments. The unit is UL 508, CE, and RoHS compliant. Vibration resistance: 5g (10–150 Hz). Shock resistance: 15g. Storage temperature: -20°C to 60°C. Humidity: 5–95% non‑condensing.

Typical Applications

The GT2310 series is used on small to medium machines such as labeling machines, small conveyors, packing machines, and printing equipment. Its compact size allows mounting on control panels with limited space.

Conclusion

The Mitsubishi GT2310‑VTBA / VTBD HMI offers a reliable, cost‑effective touch interface with robust communication options, suitable for machine automation requiring visual monitoring and operator input.
