Congratulations on purchasing Digital's Pro-face GP-377R Series Graphic
Control Panels (hereafter referred to as "the GP").
This GP unit, with its expanded functionality and improved overall perfor-
mance, is an upgrade of Digital's GP70 series panels. Also, instead of using
the optional 2-Port Adapter, the Mitsubishi Electric Corporation's GPP
software package and the GP's rear face tool connector can now be used to
provide 2-Port feature communication.
Please read this manual carefully as it explains, step by step, how to use the
GP correctly and safely.
Also, in this manual's examples, the Mitsubishi MELSEC-AnA Series PLC
is used whenever possible, connected in a one-to-one relationship with a GP.

Page 5: Essential Safety Precautions
Preface Essential Safety Precautions This manual includes procedures that must be followed to operate the GP correctly and safely. Be sure to read this manual and any related materials thoroughly to understand the correct operation and functions of this unit. Usage of Icons To allow you to use the GP correctly, throughout this manual, the following icons are provided next to operations requiring special attention. - Page 6 Preface Caution Installation Precautions • Be sure to use the attachment screws given (included with the GP) to attach an expansion unit to the GP. If the expansion unit is not attached correctly, incorrect GP operation may be caused, or the expansion unit may malfunction or fall off the GP unit.
- Page 7 Preface • Do not allow water, liquids, metal particles, or charged particles to enter inside the GP’s chassis, since they can cause either a GP malfunction or an electrical shock. • Avoid using or storing the GP in direct sunlight, or in excessively dusty or dirty environments.
