Selection & Comparison
Compare Kinco HMI panel sizes, resolutions, touch types and port sets, and narrow a model for the machine before requesting a quotation.
A 7-inch screen size does not identify a panel cut-out, PLC connection or programming package. Start with the cabinet and any existing project, then compare the complete Kinco model code. Use the tables below to distinguish resolution, ports and software before opening a product record. A candidate that meets one requirement still needs to match the remaining installation and communication requirements.
Read GuideKinco model families help narrow a selection, but a family name does not establish every port, programming package or replacement condition. Separate the catalogue tiers from the actual GL, GH, G, GT, MT, M2 and FUTURE families. Compare the family-level requirements here, then open the full product code for its specifications. Use detailed comparison guides when a change of generation affects an existing project.
Read GuideCompare Kinco G1 and G2 using the existing machine project and the connections it must keep. G070 and G2070HE provide representative starting points, but their software families and optional interfaces need separate checks. Record any CAN requirement before considering wireless or Ethernet variants. A generation upgrade should follow a documented target and driver review, with cabinet fit and application tests recorded before changeover.
Read GuideCompare Kinco GL and GL2 by the project changes behind a similar cabinet fit. The representative GL070 and GL2070HE codes use different display resolutions and software families even though their listed cut-outs match. Keep Ethernet and wireless requirements tied to the exact suffix. Review the editable project, target support and screen layout before treating a GL2 panel as a candidate for an existing GL installation.
Read GuideCompare Kinco GT2 and G2 by software target and full model code before choosing a similarly sized panel. GT2100E and G2100E share representative resolution and cut-out values, while their listed software families differ. Optional wireless and E2 codes add further selection questions. Preserve the existing project, identify the required driver and confirm the documented conversion route before scheduling a machine changeover.
Read GuideCompare Kinco MT and M2 for a replacement by checking the screen layout and connections as well as the cabinet opening. MT070 and M2070H provide representative examples that use DTools and share a listed opening while changing resolution. That shared software family does not establish project or cable interchangeability. Record the old suffix, editable source and serial arrangement, then validate the proposed target before planning the changeover.
Read GuideChoose between Kinco GL2, G2 and F2 by the display, connections and application your machine needs. GL2070HE, G2070HE and F2070E offer representative 7-inch examples with the same listed resolution. Their hardware differences still need to be interpreted against the actual project. Compare the required interfaces, software target, cabinet supply and installation dimensions before using memory figures to rank the candidates.
Read GuideChoose a Kinco HMI for a packaging machine by mapping the operator's tasks before selecting a screen. A filling and labeling example can reveal the status, recipe, changeover and alarm information that must be available. Identify whether each device talks directly to the HMI or through the PLC. Keep control and interlock decisions in the approved machine design, then translate the operating requirements into panel and acceptance criteria.
Read GuidePlan a Kinco HMI for pump control around the information operators need during normal running and maintenance. A cabinet-based pump group may need pressure, level, availability, mode and fault status on different screens. Identify which values come through the PLC and whether any direct drive link is required. Include stale-data behaviour and cabinet conditions in the brief before choosing display size, connections or remote maintenance options.
Read GuideChoose a Kinco HMI screen size by testing the information operators need to read and touch. Diagonal size, pixel resolution, brightness and cabinet opening describe different requirements. Compare a representative operating page at the intended viewing position before changing panel size. A larger display may improve physical readability while still requiring layout, mounting and connection checks for the complete replacement code.
Read GuideBuild a Kinco HMI shortlist from the job the panel must perform. For a new machine, identify the operator tasks, PLC driver and required device connections. For a replacement, begin with the installed code, editable project and cabinet measurements. Then compare display, interfaces, software, power and environment against the same requirement record. Keep the reason for including or excluding each candidate so engineering and purchasing can review it together.
