Kinco GL100 10.1-inch HMI panel: representative front appearance for this model group. Compare the full model codes below for interface and configuration differences.
Basic SERIES · GL100
Model codes: GL100 | GL100E
The Kinco GL100 and GL100E provide a 10.1-inch 1024 × 600 display in a 260 × 179 mm opening. This pair is worth considering when an operator layout needs more physical viewing area while retaining DTools as its configuration software. GL100E adds one Ethernet port to the serial connection choices. Allow for the 271 × 191 × 36 mm body, and compare the exact project target and PLC driver before selecting the full code.
Generation: Green Series - Economical (GL) in the Basic series

The Kinco GL100 and GL100E provide a 10.1-inch 1024 × 600 display in a 260 × 179 mm opening.

Model codes: GL100 | GL100E
GL100 and GL100E address an operator-view requirement as well as a connection choice. A wider page can help place related values beside their controls, provided the designer uses that space deliberately. Identify the normal operating task, the information needed during a fault and the adjustments reserved for maintenance before deciding how much content belongs on one screen.
These codes share the stated display and cabinet dimensions. The Ethernet option is still a purchasing decision that must appear in the model record. Use the existing specification and code comparison tables for detailed values, and retain the selected code throughout software review, document requests and the quotation process.
The 10.1-inch display is a candidate when an operator must compare several related machine values without repeatedly changing pages. A useful sample layout might place production status beside relevant settings and leave a clear route to alarms. This is a design example, not a preloaded application or an assurance about any particular machine function.
Review the 1024 × 600 layout at the intended viewing distance. More area does not justify smaller labels or crowded touch targets. The 4-wire resistive touch surface requires sensible spacing, particularly around numeric entry and navigation controls that could otherwise be confused.
For a smaller cabinet, the Kinco GL070 7-inch panel provides a separate option with different display and mounting requirements. If a taller page arrangement is central to the application, examine the Kinco GL104E 4:3 panel. Neither comparison establishes that an existing GL100 project can be transferred unchanged.
GL100 provides serial connections without Ethernet. GL100E adds one Ethernet port and the listed EdgeAccess 1.0 remote platform. Neither code lists WiFi or cellular hardware. Clarify whether the machine needs local PLC communication, a network engineering connection or a separately approved remote-service arrangement; these are different requirements.
Both codes list COM0 with RS232, RS485 and RS422 interface options, and COM2 with RS232. Select the electrical mode and cable using the applicable connection documentation. Port naming alone does not define simultaneous operation, protocol support or a suitable PLC driver.
The recorded memory is 128 MB RAM and 256 MB flash. Assess the actual application resource use in the intended software environment. Large background graphics, application data and accumulated project revisions deserve review, but these capacity figures do not establish a tested performance result or a fixed retention period for machine records.
Start with a complete PLC identity: CPU, relevant module, firmware and configured protocol. Compare it with the GL100 or GL100E driver in the DTools release you intend to use. A controller family name is too broad when different CPUs or communication modules provide different connection options.
For serial wiring, record the mode, connection assignment, station parameters and cable pinout. For Ethernet, confirm the controller’s network interface and settings rather than copying another machine’s values. Use the PLC compatibility guide to organize this review.
Validate known read-only values first. Any subsequent controlled write must have the PLC owner’s approval, a defined expected response and safe test conditions while all machine safety logic remains active. If communication fails, the HMI communication troubleshooting guide helps narrow the cause without treating a matching connector as proof of compatibility.
Measure the actual opening against 260 × 179 mm and compare the surrounding space with the 271 × 191 mm body outline. The listed body depth is 36 mm. Leave additional room for connector housings, cable bends and service access as required by the installation arrangement. A shallow body does not guarantee that cables clear a nearby duct or terminal strip.
Review the door reinforcement, mounting access and cable movement with the door open and closed. Use the applicable installation drawing before cutting metal. The product image and illustrative cut-out drawing are not evidence of connector positions or pin assignments.
The stated input is DC 10 to 28 V. Confirm polarity, grounding and available supply capacity for the whole cabinet. Compare the existing wiring and power conditions with the selected code’s documentation before reusing a supply connection.
Both models list Kinco DTools. Preserve the working editable project and identify its software release before selecting another target or changing a communication driver. Keep the original machine settings with that archive so a software review does not lose the values used by production.
The guide to DTools software for GL100 explains software sourcing and target verification. Ask for the GL100 or GL100E manual and datasheet according to the code being considered. Include the revision when known, required language and whether the question concerns installation, transfer or PLC wiring.
Open a copy for inspection and review alarm messages, language resources, number formats, navigation and recipes where used. A project that opens successfully still needs communication and operating checks on the intended hardware. Treat these as acceptance tasks assigned to the machine engineering team.
The Kinco GT2100E HMI Panel is a relevant comparison: it lists the same 260 × 179 mm opening, 1024 × 600 resolution and Kinco DTools software. Those shared values support a shortlist, but they do not confirm identical bodies, connection arrangements or supported project functions. Compare the complete codes and applicable documents before planning installation.
Changing from GL100 to GL100E also deserves a recorded review if it changes the machine’s communication method. Adding a physical port does not automatically create a supported network connection in the existing application.
Use GL100 project migration checks for project assessment and the panel replacement checklist for the wider machine change. Keep the product decision centered on display, fit, interfaces and software target rather than assuming a shared diagonal or opening resolves the engineering work.
Send an inquiry naming GL100 or GL100E, quantity, destination and required delivery date. Identify whether the machine uses serial communication or requires the Ethernet variant. Price and lead time are established for the inquiry; a listed model is not evidence of stock or a fixed delivery schedule.
For a replacement request, include the existing label, measured cut-out, rear-space limitations and PLC details. State the available project format and software version. If the original source is missing, make that visible in the request instead of assuming the panel selection solves project recovery. This information supports a more useful technical discussion before purchasing.
GL100E adds one Ethernet port and the listed EdgeAccess 1.0 remote platform. The shared display and serial hardware do not remove the need to select the proper driver.
The opening is 260 × 179 mm, with a 271 × 191 × 36 mm body. Add the space required for mounting, connectors and wiring bends.
Match the exact CPU and protocol to the selected DTools target. Review the editable project copy and validate communication under approved machine conditions.
Specify GL100 or GL100E and the document task. Add revision information when available, plus quantity and destination for a quotation.
