- Building automation and energy management systems
System Compatibility
The GP2600-TC11 supports direct communication with the following PLC and controller families via built-in or downloadable drivers:
- Mitsubishi Electric: MELSEC-A, Q, FX series
- Omron: C, CJ, CS, CP series
- Siemens: S7-200, S7-300 (via MPI/PPI)
- Allen-Bradley: MicroLogix, SLC 500 (via DF1)
- Modbus RTU/ASCII: Universal serial device support
- Keyence, Panasonic, Fuji, Yaskawa: Via GP-PRO/PBIII driver library
Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to determine whether the GP2600-TC11 is the right choice — or which alternative best fits your application:
- Existing installation: If replacing a failed unit in an existing panel cutout, the GP2600-TC11 or GP2600-TC41 is the safest drop-in choice.
- New design with Pro-Face ecosystem: Consider upgrading to the GP-4301TW for GP-Pro EX compatibility and longer product lifecycle support.
- Budget-sensitive projects: Weintek MT6056iP offers comparable display size and serial communication at a lower price point.
- Siemens PLC integration: The Siemens KTP600 Basic PN provides native TIA Portal integration if your controller is S7-1200/1500.
- Omron PLC integration: Omron NB5Q-TW01B provides seamless NB-Designer connectivity with CJ/CS/CP series PLCs.
- Harsh environment: Confirm IP rating requirements; the GP2600-TC11 front panel is IP65 rated.
Quality Assurance & Sourcing

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Is the GP2600-TC11 still in production?
A: The GP2600-TC11 is a legacy model. Pro-Face has transitioned to the GP4000 and GP4600 series. We supply new-old-stock (NOS) and refurbished units.
Q: Can I use GP-Pro EX to program the GP2600-TC11?
A: No. The GP2600-TC11 requires GP-PRO/PBIII for Windows. GP-Pro EX is not backward compatible with GP2000 series panels.
Q: What is the panel cutout size for the GP2600-TC11?
A: The standard panel cutout is approximately 182 × 134 mm. Verify with the official installation manual before cutting.
Q: Can the GP2600-TC11 communicate with a Siemens S7-1200?
A: Direct native support is not available. A Modbus TCP gateway or protocol converter may be required.
Q: Do you offer repair services for faulty GP2600-TC11 units?
A: Yes, board-level repair and LCD replacement services are available. Contact us with your fault description for a repair quote.
