Hello everyone! I am in search of the necessary software and interface cables for my Proface GT2400 terminals. I have a few questions regarding this process. Is the software for Proface GT2400 terminals not free? Which specific cables do I require to connect my Windows 10 PC to these terminals? Thank you in advance for your assistance. - James
Hey James, are you considering GT or GP software? If you're leaning towards GP, GP Pro might be the best option for you. Here are some details that could be useful for you: GP2400-TC41-24V from the GP2000 Series by Digital Electronics Corporation. You can find more information in the GP-Pro EX Device/PLC Connection Manual. As for the cable, mine should do the job.

Apologies, geniusintraining! I have the GP 2400-TC41 terminals, which I just found out have been discontinued for over a decade when I contacted proface. It might be time to consider upgrading, pending company approval. Thanks for your understanding, James.
I have obtained multiple Proface GP units from surplus equipment at a previous job. These units have never been utilized and are currently available for anyone interested. In total, I have four units, along with smaller black and white models. Rest assured, all of these units are in good working condition.
Hey there, James! While the exact software for Proface GT2400 isn't free, Pro-face does offer "GP-Pro EX" for trial use. Using this, you can handle minor tweaks to your terminal. But for a complete interface, the software has to be purchased. As far as the cables go, generally, a USB to RS232 serial port cable will do the trick. Ensure your PC has a serial port or else you might need a USB to Serial adapter. Always remember to check the manual for any component-specific requirements. Hope this helps!
Hey James! The software for the Proface GT2400 terminals, like Pro-Server EX or GP-Pro EX, typically isn't free, but you might find trial versions for limited use if you want to test it out first. For connecting to your PC, you'll generally need a USB to RS-232 converter, as the terminals often use serial connections. Just make sure to check the specifics of your model to confirm the exact cable type. Good luck with your setup!
Hi James! The software for the Proface GT2400 terminals is typically not free, as you'll likely need to purchase GP-Pro EX, which is the main programming software for these units. As for the cables, you'll want a USB to RS-232 serial cable for connecting your Windows 10 PC to the terminal for programming and configuration. It might also be useful to check for a direct Ethernet option if your terminal supports it, as that can simplify the connection process. Hope this helps you get started!
