🔁 Replacement Options (Factory Recommended)

GT2505-VTBD (우선의)

5.7-인치, 65536-color TFT, analog resistive touch (two-point touch is no longer supported)

Panel cutout is largely compatible, but housing is 1.5~2mm larger on top and bottom; cabinet cutout verification required; CF card replaced by SD card

내장 이더넷 포트, 더 높은 성능; projects can be converted and migrated via GT Works3, minor scripts and special functions require modification

대안: GT2705-VTBD (higher specification)

⚠️ Common Faults & 문제 해결 포인트

1. Dim backlight / black screen with responsive touch: CCFL backlight aging, the most frequent failure. No original factory backlight spare parts available; most repairs involve retrofitting LED backlights.
2. 통신 실패: Verify baud rate and station number; do not mix Q-Bus mode and serial mode; avoid reversed A/B wiring for RS422.
3. Time loss / recipe reset: Built-in lithium battery GT11-50BAT depleted; replace battery directly.
4. CF card not recognized: Only standard legacy CF cards are supported. High-speed CF cards and CF-to-SD adapters are often unstable.
5. Touch drift / local touch failure: Wear of matrix resistive film; replace touch panel.

📏 Installation & Environmental Rating

설치: Embedded panel mount with snap fasteners

Operating environment: 0~50℃, IP65 on front face (with installed sealing gasket), IP20 on rear side

1. 차단 & 전체 치수 (GT1155-QSBD)

단위: mm, standard landscape installation

패널 컷아웃: 153 (여) × 121 (시간), tolerance +0~+1mm, cabinet plate thickness recommended 1.6~5mm

전반적인 차원: 164 (여) × 135 (시간) × 55 (디)

Installation clearance: Reserve ≥10mm space top and bottom for snap disassembly; install factory gasket in sealing groove to maintain front IP65 rating

⚠️ GT2505-VTBD cutout: 156 × 124, 3mm wider and taller than the original. Original cutout will be undersized. On-site solutions:

1. Enlarge cutout (preferred); 2. Install adapter flange plate; 3. Switch to GT2705-VTBD (cutout fully compatible with original 153×121)
2. Q-Bus Wiring for Direct Q-CPU Connection

The Q-Bus of GT1155-QSBD is not a DB9 serial port. It is an onboard dedicated Q-Bus interface, using GT01-C30R2-6P flat bus cable plugged directly into the front bus port of Q-CPU. It cannot be made with ordinary RS422 cables.

Communication mode setting: Select Q CPU (Direct Bus Connection) in the GOT connection target, not RS422

Important restrictions:

Q-Bus only supports Q-series CPU (Q00/Q01/Q02/Q03UD/Q04UDH, 등.), not L/R/FX series

Bus channel and rear DB9 RS422 serial port are independent; do not use both simultaneously

Max cable length: 3중; no station number required for bus communication, direct CPU access

Matching cable part numbers: GT01-C10R2-6P (1중) / GT01-C30R2-6P (3중)

【Alternative serial connection to Q PLC】Using DB9 RS422, 선택하다 “Q CPU Serial Connection”. Standard Mitsubishi RS422 DB9 pin definition:

Shield single-ended grounding only at PLC side; grounding at both ends causes circulating interference current.

3. Full Migration Checklist: GT11 Project → GT2505-VTBD (GT 웍스3)

전제 조건: GT Works3 V1.115 or newer. Older versions have many conversion bugs for legacy GT11 projects.

단계 1: Backup Original Project

1. Open GT1155-QSBD project in GT Works2 / GT 웍스3
2. Save a separate original copy (.G11). Do not convert directly on the original file.
3. Upload project from HMI first (CF card / USB) to avoid inconsistency between source file and program inside HMI.

단계 2: Model Conversion

1. 메뉴: Project → Change Model
2. Source model: GT1155-QSBD; Target model: GT2505-VTBD
3. Conversion options: Check screen conversion, comments, 경보, recipes; uncheck legacy GT11 exclusive OS functions

Critical resolution note: GT11=320×240; GT2505=640×480. Screens scale 2× automatically, component positions shift. Every screen must be adjusted manually!

단계 3: Communication Verification (Critical for Q-Bus Version)

✅ Major risk: GT25 series has NO onboard Q-Bus interface!!

This is the biggest pitfall for GT1155-QSBD replacement. The native Q-Bus direct link is removed on GT25. Two retrofit options:

Option A (추천): Add QJ71E71-100 Ethernet module to Q PLC, GT25 communicates via SLMP over Ethernet TCP

Option B: Abandon bus, use RS422 serial to connect Q CPU programming port, set connection target to 【Q CPU Serial】 and replace with RS422 cable

❗ Original GT01-C30R2-6P flat bus cable CANNOT be reused; the hardware interface no longer exists.

단계 4: Functional Inspection Checklist

Screens: Buttons, 램프, numeric input, bar graphs, text; fix overflow and overlapping elements after scaling

Scripts / Macros: Legacy GT11 C scripts and bitwise functions may be incompatible; rewrite scripts with errors

Alarm records: Verify alarm trigger conditions, pop-up windows and alarm reset logic

Recipes: Migrate GT11 SRAM recipes to GT25 Flash / SD storage; check D register offset addresses

Real-time clock: GT11 uses GT11-50BAT; GT2000 uses different battery model

Transparent transmission: Reconfigure USB transparent and serial transparent channels for GT25

CF card functions: Legacy CF on GT11 replaced by SD on GT25; modify file paths for log/recipe export in scripts

Third-party communication (Modbus etc.): 전송 속도, parity and station numbers are generally compatible, frame timing requires testing

단계 5: 다운로드 & Power-On Test Procedure

1. 변환 후, compile and resolve all errors and warnings before download
2. Download to GT25; do not hot-swap on site directly. Test communication on bench first.
3. Register verification: Randomly read/write X/Y/M/D registers and cross-check with PLC online monitor
4. Touch test: GT11 supports two-point touch, GT25 analog resistive is single-point only. Any logic relying on simultaneous dual-touch must be modified
5. Verify backlight, buzzer and screen switching speed
6. 예비 부품 & Consumables List

Battery: GT11-50BAT (original for GT1155-QSBD, 3V lithium, clock and SRAM recipe backup)

Sealing gasket: GT1155-QSBD dedicated gasket; front IP65 rating fails once aged

CF card: Only standard legacy CF (≤2GB). High-speed CF and CF-to-SD adapters have poor compatibility

Communication cables: GT01-C10R2-6P / GT01-C30R2-6P (Q-Bus flat cable)

5. Supplementary Quick Troubleshooting for Q-Bus
6. Communication error alarm: Confirm connection target set to 【Q Bus】 not RS422; bent pins and loose plugs on flat cable are common faults
7. Bus connected but register read failure: Verify accessible soft element range of Q-CPU; some special registers are restricted under bus mode
8. Intermittent disconnection: Flat cable damage from repeated bending; separate bus cable from power cables and add ferrite core.

GT1155-QSBD Replacement & Engineering Change Implementation Plan

Core constraint: Q-Bus is exclusive to the old model. GT25/GT27 have no such hardware interface. Communication architecture modification is mandatory; it is not a simple panel swap and program download.

Two replacement routes:

Route A: GT2505-VTBD (비용 효율적, cutout mismatch, SLMP Ethernet / RS422 serial)

Route B: GT2705-VTBD (original 153×121 cutout compatible, less cabinet modification, 이더넷)

2. Model conversion: Project → Change Model, GT1155-QSBD → GT2505/GT2705-VTBD
3. Screen adjustment (320×240 →640×480 auto 2× zoom):

Correct overflow, overlapping text, trend and alarm window on each screen

비판적인: Dual simultaneous touch function no longer works. If interlock logic relies on dual press, migrate logic to PLC or rewrite HMI script

4. Reconfigure communication target (major risk point)

Delete old 【Q CPU (Direct Bus Connection)】

Ethernet SLMP: New connection target → QCPU (Ethernet SLMP), fill IP, network No., 역 번호.

Serial scheme: New 【Q CPU Serial Connection】, match baud rate and parity with PLC
