1.5.6.1 For Those Using GP-4100 Series

The GP-4100 series has the following special features and limitations.

GP-4100 Series Special Features

You can copy GP-4100 series screens only to other GP-4100 series projects.
When changing to and from GP-4100 series models, see the following.
5.6.1 Restrictions on Changing Models
GP-4100 series do not support 2-point touch. Be careful when you simultaneously touch two points on the touch panel, as the touch coordinates are calculated at the center of the two touch points.
Since the models in the GP-4100 series are not equipped with backup memory (SRAM), part of the internal memory is used as the backup area. User documents refer to this area as "virtual backup memory".
Data in virtual backup memory, just like backup memory (SRAM), is preserved even when the display unit is turned off and on again.
You can check the virtual memory capacity. From the [Project (F)] menu, point to [Information (I)], select [Project Information (I)], and then select [SRAM Information].
The screen area is used when you use something other than fixed fonts. You can check the screen area capacity from the [System Settings], [Font].
Cannot save data to external storage (except for saving sampled data to a CSV file), or read data from external storage.
You can change between three backlight colors on the GP-4100 series. You can change the backlight using one of these methods. From the base screen's shortcut menu, select [Change Attributes] and in the dialog box set the [Backlight Color] and [Backlight Blink]. Or you can use the #H_BackLightColor system variable. You cannot use the [Common Settings] menu's [Change Backlight Color] command.
GP410*G1D: Green, Red, Orange
GP410*W1D: White, Red, Pink
When resetting or turning OFF the GP-4100 series unit, the clock is initialized. You need to update the clock. GP-4100 series units support getting clock information from a device/PLC.
5.5.1 Common - Clock Update Settings
Unable to communicate with multiple devices/PLCs set up with different drivers.
When using Ethernet Multilink, you can use the GP-4104 only as a slave display unit. You cannot use it as a master display unit. Additionally, you can set up a maximum of 2 devices/PLCs.
The GP-4104 cannot connect to a network printer.
You cannot set [Bit Length] or [Data Format] to 8 bits.
