GE QPI21100S2P | Operator Interface Display

The GE QPI21100S2P provides a user-friendly operator interface for industrial automation systems. This HMI display features a 10.4-inch color touchscreen for intuitive machine control. It supports serial communication and Ethernet for flexible connectivity. Weighing only 1.8 kg, the GE QPI21100S2P mounts easily on a panel or swing arm. Its dimensions measure 290 mm x 230 mm x 55 mm.

Display Specifications and Touchscreen Features

The GE QPI21100S2P offers SVGA resolution (800 x 600 pixels) for clear graphics display. This touchscreen uses resistive technology for reliable operation even with gloves. It provides 65,536 colors for vivid screen visualization and alarm indication. Moreover, the GE QPI21100S2P includes LED backlighting with 50,000 hours of rated life. Consequently, you can operate this HMI for years without backlight replacement.

Communication Ports and Energy Storage

The GE QPI21100S2P features one RS-232 port and one RS-422/485 port for PLC connectivity. This display also includes a 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet port for network integration. It provides USB host and USB device ports for data transfer and screen backup. Importantly, the GE QPI21100S2P contains no internal battery for maintenance-free operation. It uses flash memory to retain screen projects and recipes permanently. Therefore, you never need to replace batteries or reload applications after power loss.

Installation and Application Details

The GE QPI21100S2P mounts into a standard panel cutout using included mounting clips. First, cut a 270 mm x 210 mm opening in your enclosure door. Next, insert the display from the front and tighten the clips from behind. Connect 24 V DC power to the terminal block on the rear panel. The GE QPI21100S2P requires configuration software for screen development. You can upload projects via USB or Ethernet without opening the enclosure. This HMI suits machine control, process monitoring, and data logging applications. Thus, the GE QPI21100S2P provides reliable operator interface for demanding industrial environments.
