First steps with the Kinco GK2070HE

The GK2070HE-42DTP combines a 7-inch touch operator panel (HMI) and a PLC with 42 inputs and outputs in one housing. You program each with its own software: the PLC with KincoBuilder Pro, the HMI screens with Kinco DTools Pro. This guide takes you from first power-up to your first own program with an HMI screen: power supply, connection, PLC and HMI project, expansion boards.

Before connecting

  • The GK2 needs 24 V DC from a power supply (permissible 19.2–28.8 V, 10 W). No 230 V mains connection.

  • Connect terminal FG to the earth or PE of the control cabinet.

  • Wire and plug in expansion boards only with the supply switched off.

  • Route control and communication cables at least 100 mm away from power cables.

  1. 1Power supply and first startRequired

    The 6-pin connector at the bottom left carries the supply on the right (24V+, 0V, FG) and the PLC's RS-485 on the left (485+, 485−, SG).

    The 16 transistor outputs also need their own supply: L+ to +24 V, L− to 0 V. Without L+ they do not switch.

    After power-up the HMI starts and shows the stored project; a new device shows the Kinco start screen.

    The inputs and outputs are on three pluggable push-in terminal blocks at the top of the rear: I0/I1, I2 with the analog inputs, and Q0/Q1.

    Source: Manual ch. 3.2, 4, 5.1

  2. 2Two devices, two programsRequired

    HMI and PLC work independently in the GK2 and exchange their data via an internal serial connection. That is why you need two programs: KincoBuilder Pro for the PLC (IEC 61131-3: ST, LD, FBD, SFC, IL) and Kinco DTools Pro for the HMI screens.

    HMI and PLC share the Ethernet socket via a built-in switch; each device has its own IP address.

    Program and monitor the PLC, PLC firmwareKincoBuilder ProEthernet or RS-485, also through the HMI

    KincoBuilder Pro is not the familiar KincoBuilder for MK, K2 or K6. For the GK2 you need Kinco's new Pro version.

    The manual names DTools Pro V1.10.5 (build 260601) as the first version supporting the GK series.

    Source: Manual p. I–II, ch. 3.3, 8.1, 10.1

  3. 3Connect the PC to the GK2Required

    The easiest way is to connect the PC via Ethernet. Ex works the two devices have these addresses:

    HMI and PLC must never have the same IP address. If the HMI gets its address via DHCP, the PC needs addresses in both networks, or you put the PLC into the HMI's network.

    How it works

    1. Give your PC a fixed address in the same network, e.g. 192.168.0.10, mask 255.255.255.0.

    2. In KincoBuilder Pro, select Ethernet under Communication Settings and click Scan. Click the PLC found; its device IP is taken over.

    3. Connect with Connect in the toolbar. The connected device and the running program are highlighted in green.

    4. Change the PLC's IP address: after scanning, use Modify Device Network Configuration. The PLC then restarts.

    DeviceIP address ex works
    HMI192.168.0.253
    SPS192.168.0.252

    Alternatively, use the PLC's RS-485: the serial interface must be set to Configuration Service; this is the factory setting.

  4. 4Create and download the PLC projectRequired

    How it works

    1. In KincoBuilder Pro, create a new project for the GK2070HE-42DTP.

    2. Write the program and compile it (F11). Only continue when no errors are reported.

    3. Download with F12. In the dialog, select software program and/or hardware configuration.

    4. Tick Download project source code, otherwise the project cannot be uploaded from the controller later.

    5. For retentive variables, decide: keep the values or reset them with Reinitialize Variables.

    Changes to the hardware configuration (high-speed counters, PWM, interfaces, expansion boards) only take effect after the device restarts; KincoBuilder Pro restarts it when writing.

    Program memory 60 kB, data memory 16 kB, of which 4 kB retentive (%MQW500 to %MQW2499, next step).

    Source: Manual ch. 3.3, 8.3.2, 8.8

  5. 5Keep values after power-offRequired

    According to the manual, the area %MQW500 to %MQW2499 is retentive, i.e. still there after switching off: 2000 words or 4 kB. Store everything that must survive a power failure there, e.g. setpoints, counter values or recipe data.

    To do this, give the variable a fixed address in the global variable table, e.g. Sollwert AT %MQW500 : INT or, for 32 bits, Zaehler AT %MQD251 : DINT. A double word occupies two words, so %MQD251 uses %MQW502 and %MQW503.

    When downloading

    1. In the download dialog you decide what happens to the retentive values.

    2. Retain the current value leaves them unchanged, e.g. when you only change the program.

    3. Reinitialize Variables resets them to their initial values.

    MemoryAddressesModbusAfter switching off
    Output words MQ%MQW0–%MQW4994x0001–4x0500not retentive
    Output words MQ, retentive%MQW500–%MQW24994x0501–4x2500retained

    HMI and Modbus master reach the values via the same addresses: %MQW500 is 4x0501. If the master counts from 0, it is address 500.

    Source: Manual ch. 3.3, 8.3.2, 11.1

  6. 6Create the HMI project and connect it to the PLCRequired

    HMI and PLC talk to each other internally via Modbus RTU. A new project already contains the connection: under Communication connections › Serial ports you find COM0 with the driver Kinco PLC_Pro Serial(RTU), RS232, 115200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, plus Device1 with station number 1. Leave it as it is.

    That is why you reach the PLC values via Modbus addresses, not via the variable names from KincoBuilder Pro. A variable gets the register type and register address from the table below, e.g. 4X 1 for %MQW0.

    How it works

    1. In DTools Pro, use File › New Project, enter a name and select the GK2070HE as HMI model.

    2. Under Variables › External variables › COM0[Device1] create a new variable: register type and register address from the table, plus the matching data type.

    3. Create an element, e.g. Component › Switch › Word Setting with action Increment, and next to it a data display with the same variable.

    4. Compile All, then test on the PC with Offline.

    5. Select Download, enter Ethernet and the HMI's IP (ex works 192.168.0.253), download.

    Kinco DTools Pro: preset connection COM0 with driver Kinco PLC_Pro Serial(RTU)
    Preset at the factory: COM0 with driver Kinco PLC_Pro Serial(RTU), RS232, 115200 baud, Device1 with station number 1.
    Kinco DTools Pro: new variable with register type 4X and register address 1
    New variable for %MQW0: data source COM0[Device1], register type 4X, register address 1.

    Conversion: a bit %I n.b is 1x(8 · n + b + 1), e.g. %I2.7 = 1x0024, likewise %Q n.b = 0x(8 · n + b + 1). A word %MIW n is 3x(n + 1), %MQW n is 4x(n + 1). Calculated from the range limits in the manual table; 4x0001 = %MQW0 is also shown in the example in ch. 8.6.1.

    A double word %MQD n occupies %MQW 2n and 2n + 1, so it starts at 4x(2n + 1). Select a 32-bit data type for it in DTools Pro.

    According to the manual, you can use addresses that are not occupied by the base unit or the expansion cards as intermediate variables. KincoBuilder Pro shows which addresses a card occupies under hardware variables.

    The PLC uses the range 4x63001–4x63060 internally, do not create variables there (note in DTools Pro).

    Uploading a project from the HMI only works if it was permitted when downloading.

    Source: Manual ch. 8.6.1, 10.1–10.8, 11.1; Kinco DTools Pro

  7. 7Connect inputs and outputsOptional

    The 24 inputs are divided into three groups of eight: I0 with reference 0M, I1 with 1M and I2 with 2M. You wire each group separately as PNP (reference to 0 V) or NPN (reference to +24 V).

    The 16 outputs are PNP transistors with max. 500 mA. The load is connected between output and L− (0 V).

    The two analog inputs A and B measure 0/4–20 mA (signal to RA or RB, return to A− or B−) or 0–10 V and 1–5 V (to A+/A− or B+/B−).

  8. 8Set up GK20 expansion boardsOptional

    The rear has two slots for GK20 boards. Both take the I/O boards; the GK20-COM only fits EXP0, the GK20-CAN only EXP1. In the wiring diagram you plug in the boards at the top under “Plug in expansion boards”.

    In KincoBuilder Pro the slots are named differently: EXP0 is slot 1, EXP1 is slot 2.

    How it works

    1. Switch off the supply, remove the slot cover, plug in the board.

    2. In KincoBuilder Pro, open Expansion BD Board under Hardware Configuration and drag the board into the matching slot.

    3. Set the board's options: filter time (04DI), behaviour at STOP (04DT), baud rate (CAN) or protocol per interface (COM).

    4. Write the configuration. The board's addresses then appear under Hardware Variables.

    BoardFunctionSlot

  9. 9Modbus RTU and Modbus TCPOptional

    The PLC speaks Modbus via the built-in RS-485 (master or slave) and via Ethernet (server and client). As slave or server, a master reaches the areas I, Q, MI and MQ.

    Enable the Modbus TCP server

    1. In KincoBuilder Pro, open Modbus TCP Function under Hardware Configuration › Network Configuration.

    2. On the server page, tick Server Enable, enter the port, write the configuration.

    3. Test with a Modbus master: 4x0001 corresponds to %MQW0.

    RangePLC addressesModbus
    Inputs I%I0.0–%I99.71x0001–1x0800
    Outputs Q%Q0.0–%Q99.70x0001–0x0800

    Output words MQ%MQW0–%MQW24994x0001–4x2500, retentive from %MQW500

    For master operation there are the blocks ModBus_PORT1_MSG (RS-485) and ModBus_TCP_MSG (Ethernet). Error code 0 = done, 2 = not executed, 101 = communication failed, 104 = invalid input.

    If your master counts addresses from 0, all addresses shift by one.

  10. 10Startup menu and diagnosticsOptional

    You reach the HMI's startup menu by holding the screen pressed during power-up until the menu appears. There you find system settings (brightness, time, IP address), firmware update and touch calibration. After 20 seconds without input the project starts; Stop Countdown keeps the menu open.

    PLC errors are stored in the system registers PLC_ErrID0 (severe error) and PLC_ErrID1 (minor error).

Revision 1.0 · 03.10.2026 · Source: Kinco GK2070HE User Manual V000 (07/2026), GK Series catalogue (08/2026). The manufacturer manual and applicable standards take precedence; installation and commissioning by a qualified electrician only.

Dimensions and mounting

The GK2070HE sits in a cut-out in the cabinet door or an operator console and is held from behind by four mounting clips. The drawing is projected from Kinco's 3D model; the plugged connectors on the rear are added from the Kinco dimension drawing. Dimensions rounded to whole millimetres.

Mounting step by step

  1. 1Check the installation site

    The GK2070HE is intended for installation in cabinet doors and operator consoles. The front is protected to IP65, the rear to IP20 – it belongs inside the cabinet. The manual names these operating conditions:

    • Ambient temperature 0 to 55 °C, cooling by natural air circulation.

    • Humidity 10 to 95 %, non-condensing. Pollution degree 2, altitude up to 2000 m.

    • The manual does not state minimum clearances. Behind the panel, the device needs 56 mm depth with plugged connectors. Also plan space for cables, patch cables and USB plugs.

    • Route control and communication cables at least 100 mm away from power cables, in separate ducts.

  2. 2Mark and cut the panel cut-out

    The panel cut-out is 192 × 138 mm. The cut-out template next to the drawing helps with marking. Print it at actual size (100 %) and check the 100 mm reference dimension with a ruler.

    The manual does not state a tolerance or the permissible panel thickness. Rather cut slightly small and rework than cut too large. Deburr the edges so that the gasket seals properly.

    Chips and drilling dust must not fall into the device's ventilation slots. Therefore cut the opening before the device is nearby.

  3. 3Insert and clamp

    Four mounting clips with screw are supplied with the device for fastening.

    • Insert the device into the cut-out from the front. The gasket on the front frame stays in place.

    • Hook the mounting clips into the square slots on the housing from behind, either top and bottom or left and right.

    • Tighten the screws clockwise, 0.5 N·m is recommended. This keeps the front sealed and the housing does not distort.

  4. 4Removal

    • Disconnect all terminal blocks and the Ethernet cable so that nothing is damaged when lifting out.

    • Loosen the four screws anticlockwise and remove the mounting clips.

    • Lift the device straight forward out of the cut-out without knocking it.

Kinco GK2070HE-42DTP 7" GK Series HMI touch panel with Ethernet and built-in PLC
Kinco GK2070HE-42DTP 7" GK Series HMI touch panel with Ethernet and built-in PLC
If you want to equip a machine with an operator interface and a controller without wiring two devices and using two slots in the cabinet, the Kinco GK2070HE-42DTP is a compact all-in-one solution: a 7" touch panel and a programmable logic controller with 42 built-in inputs and outputs in a single housing. 🏭 Typical applications Packaging, labelling, conveying: multi-station machines where recipe management and operation belong on the machine itself — the 24 inputs cover sensors and push buttons without additional I/O terminals. Fans, pumps, boilers: plants with a manageable number of signals, where operating hours, setpoints and fault messages come together in one place. Dosing and fluid handling: the two analog inputs with 16-bit resolution accept pressure, flow or level transmitters with 4-20 mA directly. Livestock and greenhouse equipment: temperature and humidity monitoring, feeding, irrigation — with expansion modules for thermocouples and RTDs. 🖥️ Display and operation 7" TFT with 1024 × 600 pixels, 16.7 million colours and 450 cd/m² brightness. The LED backlight is rated for more than 30,000 operating hours. The front panel is IP65 rated and therefore splash-proof — cleaning in food processing or livestock environments is not an issue. 🧤 Resistive touch: works with gloves The 4-wire touch screen responds to mechanical pressure. Work gloves, wet fingers or a stylus all work equally well — unlike capacitive glass touch panels. 💡 In return, there are no multi-touch gestures such as pinch and zoom. If you need those, a capacitive panel is the better choice. ⚡ Built-in PLC with 42 inputs and outputs 24 digital inputs 24 V DC, wired as either PNP or NPN 16 digital outputs as PNP transistors, 500 mA per channel, with short-circuit, overtemperature and reverse-polarity protection 2 analog inputs with 16-bit resolution for 4-20 mA, 0-20 mA, 1-5 V and 0-10 V, measuring accuracy 0.2 % F.S. 4 high-speed counter inputs up to 200 kHz, including A/B incremental encoders 4 PWM outputs and 4 edge interrupts on I0.0 to I0.3 Program capacity 60 kB, data capacity 16 kB, of which 4 kB is retentive. 🔧 Two expansion slots as standard If the built-in I/O is not enough, the two EXP slots take modules from the Kinco GK20 range: current and voltage signals, thermocouples, RTDs, additional digital I/O and relay outputs. Slot EXP0 also accepts a serial module, slot EXP1 a CAN module. 🔌 Connectivity Ethernet 10/100 Mbit/s — one RJ45 port with a built-in layer 2 switch, shared by the HMI and PLC sections, each with its own IP address. That saves a switch port in the cabinet. Isolated RS-485 — up to 115.2 kbit/s, for Modbus RTU as master or slave and for free ASCII protocols USB-A for memory sticks, keyboard or barcode scanner USB-C for project transfer, firmware updates and printer output — projects can also be downloaded via Ethernet or from a USB stick on the USB-A port The power supply is isolated and protected against reverse polarity, overcurrent and surges. All terminals are push-in spring terminals — wiring without a screwdriver. 💻 Programming with two tools The controller is programmed with KincoBuilder Pro to IEC 61131-3 — structured text, ladder diagram, function block diagram, sequential function chart and instruction list are available, along with project, POU and task management, simulation and trace. Ready-made motion libraries are provided for Kinco servo drives. The visualisation is created in DToolsPro with recipe management, alarm history, operation log and user permissions. On top come driver-free RFID login, index-driven screen reuse (one screen for many data sets instead of many screens) and projects that carry over to other display sizes. ⚠️ The two sections are configured separately and developed in two separate programs. Anyone familiar with the Kinco MK series will feel at home immediately. 🔩 Mounting and dimensions Front panel mounting in the cabinet door, cutout 192 × 138 mm. Outer dimensions 204 × 150 mm, mounting depth 63 mm including terminals. Operation from 0 °C to 55 °C at 10 to 95 % relative humidity, non-condensing; storage from −20 °C. Supply 24 V DC with a permissible range of 19.2 to 28.8 V, power consumption 10 W. Passive cooling, no fans. 🏷️ Manufacturer and reliability Kinco Automation is an established manufacturer with years of experience in developing HMI, control and drive technology for the global industrial market. The GK2070HE-42DTP is CE certified (EN IEC 61000-6-2:2019 and EN IEC 61000-6-4:2019) and meets the EMC requirements for industrial use in Europe. Kinco HMIs are in use at well over 100 spstiger customers in Germany.

Kinco GK20 I/O expansion module for GK2070HE HMI with PLC
Kinco GK20 I/O expansion module for GK2070HE HMI with PLC
If you are short a few channels on your Kinco GK2070HE, you do not need a second device: the GK20 modules plug straight into the two expansion slots and add digital, analog or temperature channels to the built-in PLC. No extra power supply, no jumper terminals, no changes to the base unit's wiring. 🏭 Typical applications Retrofit in the field: the machine is running and two more sensors are needed. Add a GK20-04DI without rebuilding the cabinet. Temperature control without a separate controller: GK20-02TC or GK20-02RD bring two measuring channels straight into the PLC — control and visualisation run on the same device. Command signals for valves and drives: GK20-02AO provides two analog outputs in 0–20 mA, 4–20 mA, 0–10 V or 1–5 V. Volt-free loads: GK20-04XR switches four relay outputs where transistor outputs will not do. 🔌 The seven I/O modules at a glance GK20-04DI: 4 digital inputs, 24 V DC, PNP and NPN wiring. GK20-04DT: 4 transistor digital outputs, PNP and NPN. GK20-04XR: 4 relay outputs. GK20-02AI: 2 analog inputs for 0–20 mA, 4–20 mA, 0–10 V and 1–5 V. GK20-02AO: 2 analog outputs for 0–20 mA, 4–20 mA, 0–10 V and 1–5 V. GK20-02RD: 2 RTD inputs for PT100, PT1000 and Cu50. GK20-02TC: 2 thermocouple inputs for types J, K, E, S and T plus 0 – 100 mV. 🔧 Slots: two per device EXP0: analog (IV), thermocouple (TC), RTD (RD), digital inputs (DI), digital outputs (DO), relay outputs (XR) and the COM communication module. EXP1: the same I/O modules plus the CAN communication module. 💡 That means a maximum of two modules at a time — and only one CAN and one COM module, because those two are tied to their respective slot. 🔗 Compatibility The GK20 modules are designed for the Kinco GK series and fit the GK2070HE-42DTP. Everything is configured in KincoBuilder Pro alongside the base unit's application program — no separate configuration tool. 🏷️ Manufacturer and reliability Kinco Automation is an established manufacturer with years of experience in HMI, PLC and drive technology for the global industrial market. The GK20 modules are original accessories and are powered directly through the GK expansion slots — no separate power supply, no external wiring.

Kinco GK20 communication expansion module for GK2070HE HMI with PLC
Kinco GK20 communication expansion module for GK2070HE HMI with PLC
The Kinco GK2070HE ships with Ethernet and one isolated RS-485 port. If that does not cover your fieldbus, plug one of the two GK20 communication modules into an expansion slot and you have the right interface — no gateway, no second device. 🌐 The two modules GK20-CAN: CAN 2.0B with CANopen master function and free CAN communication. Connect CANopen slaves such as drives, valve islands or remote I/O straight to the built-in PLC. With Kinco servo drives the module supports Kinco motion control. Slot EXP1. GK20-COM: 1 x RS-485 and 1 x RS-232 in one module, with Modbus RTU as master and slave plus free-protocol communication for devices with their own ASCII syntax — scales, printers, barcode readers, instruments. Slot EXP0. 🏭 Typical applications Drives over CANopen: run several axes on one bus instead of wiring each one with analog signals. A second serial line: the built-in RS-485 already serves a third-party device and your sensors need their own bus. GK20-COM provides the second line. RS-232 devices: older printers, scales and instruments do not speak RS-485. GK20-COM connects them directly, without a level converter. 🔧 Slots: two per device EXP0: analog (IV), thermocouple (TC), RTD (RD), digital inputs (DI), digital outputs (DO), relay outputs (XR) and the COM communication module. EXP1: the same I/O modules plus the CAN communication module. 💡 That means a maximum of two modules at a time — and only one CAN and one COM module, because those two are tied to their respective slot. 🔗 Compatibility Both modules are designed for the Kinco GK series and fit the GK2070HE-42DTP. Communication is configured in KincoBuilder Pro within the base unit's application program. 🏷️ Manufacturer and reliability Kinco Automation is an established manufacturer with years of experience in HMI, PLC and drive technology for the global industrial market. The GK20 modules are original accessories and are powered directly through the GK expansion slots — no separate power supply, no external wiring.
