Introduction GN Series Hardware Manual41.2 OverviewThe GN series touch panels are human-machine interfaces (HMIs) designed for demandingindustrial applications such as installation in an instrument panel or switching cabinet. NOTEAll versions are suitable for installation in an instrument panel or switchingcabinet. Use the mounting clamps included with the product.The GN series includes:• GN07, 7" display• GN10, 10.4" display• GN12, 12.1" display• GN15, 15" displayIn front of the display there is a touch screen that also protects the display surface from dirtand scratches. The system is suitable for operation in harsh industrial environments.The GN is equipped with interfaces such as 1x serial COM1 (RS232), 2x LAN (10/100/1000Mbps), 2x USB (2.0), 1x VGA. Additional interfaces can be installed as follows:• The GN10/GN12/GN15 can be expanded with up to two different modules forRS422/485 industrial fieldbus interfaces and/or an additional serial port COM2 asRS232.• The GN07 can be expanded with one module for the RS422/485 or an industrialfieldbus interface or an additional serial port COM2 as RS232.The GN is designed to be connected to a +24V DC power supply using the DC power plug(included). NOTEThe GN series touch panels are designed to fulfill the IP65 degree of protectionfor the front side. However, the USB connector on the front (if present) must becovered by the elastic captive rubber coat.The GN is a fanless system. The cooling of the unit is performed by ventilation holes in thehousing. The ventilation holes are located at the sides of the device and provide air circulationin order to prevent the system from overheating. NOTEWhen powering on the GN, make sure that the ventilation holes are notobstructed.
