Product Overview
When you need to display analog RGB signals from external sources on your GOT2000 series HMI, the Mitsubishi GT27-R2-Z RGB Input Unit delivers a straightforward solution. Designed specifically for GT27 models, this unit accepts analog RGB input signals and presents them on the connected display. With two independent channels, each can show one RGB screen at a time, enabling simultaneous monitoring of multiple video feeds.
Technical Specifications Breakdown
The GT27-R2-Z supports three common analog RGB resolutions: VGA (640 x 480 pixels), SVGA (800 x 600 pixels), and XGA (1024 x 768 pixels). This broad compatibility ensures it works with standard industrial displays, cameras, and legacy equipment. The synchronization signal operates at TTL level, 1 Vp-p, with 75 Ω impedance, providing stable timing for reliable image rendering.
Power consumption is modest: approximately 0.49 A at 3.3 V DC and 0.35 A at 5.0 V DC. This low draw minimizes the load on your system power supply. The unit connects via a D-Sub 15-pin female connector, a widely used interface that simplifies cabling and ensures secure connections.
Industry Applications
In manufacturing environments, the GT27-R2-Z allows operators to view camera feeds or PC outputs directly on the HMI screen. For example, a quality control station can display inspection camera images alongside machine status data, reducing the need for separate monitors. In process control, engineers can overlay analog video from thermal cameras or barcode readers onto the HMI interface, improving situational awareness.
Installation & Setup Guidance
Mount the GT27-R2-Z securely in your GOT2000 system cabinet, ensuring adequate airflow around the unit. Connect the D-Sub 15-pin cable from your analog RGB source to the female connector on the unit. Verify that the source outputs one of the supported resolutions (VGA, SVGA, or XGA) and that the sync signal meets TTL level requirements. Power the unit from the GOT2000 backplane; the current consumption at 3.3 V DC is 0.49 A and at 5.0 V DC is 0.35 A. No additional configuration is needed beyond setting the HMI to accept the external RGB input.
Maintenance & Reliability
Periodically inspect the D-Sub connector for bent pins or corrosion, especially in humid environments. Ensure the unit’s ventilation slots remain unobstructed to prevent overheating. The GT27-R2-Z is a solid-state device with no moving parts, so routine maintenance is minimal. Verify that the analog RGB source remains within the supported resolution range to avoid display issues.
Compatibility & Integration
The GT27-R2-Z is fully compatible with the Mitsubishi GOT2000 series, specifically GT27 models. It integrates seamlessly into existing GOT2000 HMI systems, accepting analog RGB signals from PCs, cameras, or other video sources. No special software or drivers are required; the HMI firmware handles the input automatically. This makes it an easy upgrade for facilities already using GOT2000 HMIs.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
Before purchasing the GT27-R2-Z, confirm that your HMI is a GT27 model within the GOT2000 series. Verify that your analog RGB source outputs one of the supported resolutions and uses a D-Sub 15-pin male connector. The unit weighs 3.00 lbs (1.36 kg), so factor this into shipping and mounting considerations. SpareTechPLC stocks the Mitsubishi GT27-R2-Z and can advise on availability and lead times.
