Pro-face PFXGP4301TADC – Rugged 5.7″ GP4000 HMI for 24 VDC panels, Ethernet/Serial connectivity, conformal-coated

The Pro-face PFXGP4301TADC is a GP4000 series 5.7-inch color HMI that, in many cases, ends up being the “just right” operator panel for compact machines. From my experience, it shines where you need reliable Ethernet and serial comms in a tight, industrial cabinet, but you also want extra environmental resilience—the “C” suffix indicates conformal coating, which typically helps in humid or slightly corrosive atmospheres.

Key Features

• 5.7″ TFT color touchscreen (GP4000 family) – A clear, compact operator display that fits small doors and machines without sacrificing readability.
• Conformal coating “C” variant – Extra protection on the PCB that typically improves resistance to humidity, dust, and airborne contaminants.
• 24 VDC power – Standard control-cabinet supply; straightforward to integrate into existing 24 VDC buses.
• Ethernet + dual serial ports – Commonly used to bridge older PLCs over RS‑232C/RS‑422/485 while logging or monitoring via Ethernet on the same screen.
• USB host/device – Simple project transfer, screenshot capture, or data export via USB memory, which operators tend to appreciate.
• IP65f / NEMA 4X (front) – Suitable for industrial panels; handles washdowns and dust at the front bezel when properly installed.
• Wide driver support – Pro-face HMIs usually support a long list of PLCs and motion controllers, reducing headaches during retrofits.
• Stable in typical plant temperatures – Designed for continuous operation in standard factory environments.

Installation & Maintenance

• Cabinet & mounting – Install on a flat, properly cut panel with the gasket seated evenly to maintain IP/NEMA rating. Typical panel thickness: standard steel enclosure door.
• Ventilation – Provide airflow around the rear heat area; avoid direct sunlight and heat sources inside the cabinet to keep the unit within 0–50 °C.
• Wiring – Use a clean 24 VDC supply with proper grounding. Keep Ethernet and serial runs away from VFD motor leads; use shielded twisted pairs for RS‑422/485.
• ESD/EMC – Bond the panel door and the cabinet, and route communication cables through separate low-noise paths whenever possible.
• Routine maintenance – Wipe the touchscreen with a soft, non-abrasive cloth; avoid solvents. Back up the project periodically via USB/Ethernet. Firmware updates can be applied during planned downtime.
• Service notes – Touch calibration is rarely needed but available in the system menu. The unit is designed for continuous duty; periodic visual inspection of connectors and the panel gasket is good practice.
