Preface
Thank you for purchasing Digital's Pro-face GP-377 Series Graphic Control Panel
(hereafter referred to as the "GP unit").
This GP unit, with its expanded functionality and improved overall performance,
is an upgrade of Digital's GP370 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 com-
munication.
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.
