Description
The listed Pro-face PFXGP4301TADW, PFXGP4402WADW, PFXGP4301TAD, PFXGP4401TAD, PFXGP4401WADW, PFXGP4201TAD, PFXGP4201TADW belong to the Pro-face GP series (Graphics Package / AGP / LT / ST series successors — current GP-4xxx line) — industrial Human Machine Interface (HMI) touch panels used for machine visualization, data logging, and PLC communication.
Key differences by suffix:
- PFXGP4201TAD / TADW → 5.7″ QVGA (320×240) TFT Color Touch, Ethernet (some var.), RS-232/422/485 — basic compact HMI
- PFXGP4301TAD / TADW → 7.5″ VGA (640×480) TFT Color Touch, Ethernet + 2 serial ports — most popular mid-size
- PFXGP4401TAD / WADW → 10.4″ VGA/SVGA (640×480 or 800×600) TFT Color Touch, larger display, same I/O
- PFXGP4402WADW → 10.4″ Wide or SVGA variant (W = White backlight / Wide — check exact res.), Ethernet, USB
“W” at end (TADW vs TAD) often indicates White backlight version or regional variant — functionally same except backlight color temperature. All program via Pro-face GP-Pro EX (BLUE software — Windows-based).

Model & Specification Reference Table
Model | Screen Size | Resolution | Ethernet | Serial | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
PFXGP4201TAD(W) | 5.7″ (QVGA) | 320×234 | Some have (TADW=yes) | RS-232 + RS-422/485 | Small machine / compact OEM |
PFXGP4301TAD(W) | 7.5″ (VGA) | 640×480 | ✅ Yes (10/100) | RS-232 + RS-422/485 | Most common general-purpose |
PFXGP4401TAD(W) | 10.4″ (VGA/SVGA) | 640×480 or 800×600 | ✅ Yes | RS-232 + RS-422/485 | Larger view / more objects |
PFXGP4402WADW | 10.4″ (SVGA typ.) | 800×600 | ✅ Yes | RS-232 + RS-422/485 | High-info density screens |
PFXGP4201TADW | 5.7″ (QVGA) | 320×234 | Varies by region | Same as 4201TAD | White bklit variant |
⚠️ Software Note: All GP-4xxx program with GP-Pro EX (BLUE) — version must support your HMI model (newer EX versions drop very old GP-2000 series but support GP-4xxx). Project can be migrated from older AGP/XGT projects via import wizard.💡 TAD vs TADW: Functionally identical — “W” = White LED backlight variant (cooler white) vs standard (warmer). Interchangeable in most cases — verify customer preference for display tint.
