Choosing a Panasonic HMI for your machine
A human machine interface (HMI) is the touchscreen an operator uses to start a machine, change recipes, see alarms and adjust set points. Panasonic panels range from simple LED-backlit monochrome screens to 32,768-colour and higher displays, and the GT series is designed to pair closely with Panasonic FP series PLCs while also communicating with many other PLC makes.
Start with three questions: how much information the operator needs on one screen (which sets size and resolution), where the panel is mounted (which sets IP rating, temperature range and UV resistance), and what it must talk to (serial, Ethernet or remote web access). The cards below summarise each Panasonic HMI series so you can shortlist quickly.

Larger, network-focused terminals for multi-vendor systems and remote monitoring.
Panasonic WH series web-server displays (WHS and WHA)
WH series panels include a built-in HTML5 web server and VNC support, so operators can monitor equipment from an office PC, phone or tablet. They support more than 50 industrial protocols and can act as a gateway between machine-level controllers and higher-level systems without programming. WHS standard models use resistive widescreen panels; WHA advanced models add large glass capacitive screens with gesture control, multiple Ethernet and USB ports and an SD slot.

What to include in a Panasonic HMI enquiry
Not sure about some details? Send what you have — we will ask the right follow-up questions.
- Existing HMI model code, if replacing (photo of the rear label)
- Screen size, colour or monochrome
- PLC make and model it will connect to
- Communication: serial, Ethernet, remote web access
- Mounting environment: indoor, outdoor, washdown, temperature
- Whether you have the screen project file backed up
Can a Panasonic GT HMI work with a non-Panasonic PLC?
Yes. GT series panels pair most closely with Panasonic FP series PLCs, but the configuration software includes drivers for several other PLC makes over serial or Ethernet. Check the driver list for your PLC model and the physical port type before ordering. Share your PLC model and we can confirm.
Will a new GT panel load my old screen program?
Within the same series and size, the project usually transfers with little change. Moving to a different size or resolution needs the project converted and screens adjusted in the configuration software. Always back up the existing project from the panel or the machine builder before the old panel fails completely.
What is the difference between IP65 and IP67 on an HMI?
IP65 means the front face is dust-tight and protected against water jets. IP67 adds protection against temporary immersion, which helps in washdown areas. The rating applies to the front when the panel is correctly mounted with its gasket in a flat cut-out, so panel cut-out quality matters as much as the rating.
When should I choose a WH series panel over a GT panel?
Choose the WH series when you need remote access from a browser or phone, a large high-resolution screen, or a gateway between machines from different vendors. GT panels suit single machines where an operator needs a compact, rugged, low-cost touchscreen at the machine.
