Those looking for a compact, modern operator interface with integrated remote access — without being locked into a proprietary ecosystem — will find the Kinco GL2070HE-LX a capable 7" HMI from the GREEN Series 2nd Generation. Three serial COM ports, built-in EdgeAccess2 remote maintenance and an IP65-rated front panel make it particularly suited for applications where connectivity and remote accessibility are critical.
🏭 Typical applications
Machine retrofit with legacy protocols: Older systems with RS-232 or RS-485 interfaces can be connected directly — COM0 supports RS-232, RS-485 and RS-422 (switchable), COM1 provides a dedicated RS-485 channel, COM2 an additional RS-232 port. No protocol converter required.
Remote maintenance without additional hardware: Via the EdgeAccess2 platform, the HMI screen and connected PLCs can be monitored remotely, projects uploaded and downloaded, and PLC programs transparently accessed — without a separate VPN router or industrial PC.
Control cabinet installation in production environments: The cutout dimension of 192 × 138 mm fits standard cabinet doors and operator panels. The IP65-rated front protects against spray water, dust and coolant mist.
Multi-device communication: Those who need to connect a PLC via RS-485, a barcode scanner via RS-232 and a supervisory system via Ethernet simultaneously can use all three COM ports and the LAN port in parallel — no multiplexer needed.
🖥️ Display and touch
The 7" TFT display resolves at 1024 × 600 pixels and renders 16.77 million colors. At 450 cd/m² brightness, the panel is designed for industrial environments with indirect lighting and normal ambient light; use under direct sunlight is not specified. Contrast ratio is 800:1, viewing angle 85/85/85/85° (left/right/up/down).
The operator surface is a capacitive acrylic touch panel. Multi-touch gestures (pinch-to-zoom, scrolling in trend curves) are supported. The LED backlight is rated for 30,000 operating hours.
👆 Capacitive touch: practical notes
Capacitive panels respond to direct fingertips — a light touch is sufficient, no pressure required. This reduces operator fatigue during extended use compared to resistive panels. The acrylic surface is lighter than glass but more susceptible to mechanical scratches; a screen protector is recommended for demanding environments.
⚠️ Important note: Thick protective gloves, wet fingers or heavily contaminated hands can impair touch recognition. For environments with regular glove use or moisture, the resistive Kinco G2070HE is recommended.
🔌 Interfaces and connectivity
Ethernet: 1 × LAN, 10/100 Mbit/s (RJ45) — for network access, program download and EdgeAccess2 remote maintenance.
Serial ports: COM0: RS-232 / RS-485 / RS-422 (switchable, 1 channel usable at a time); COM1: RS-485; COM2: RS-232 — three serial communication channels usable simultaneously.
USB: 1 × USB Host (data backup, firmware update, extended storage); 1 × USB Slave Type-C (program download from PC).
Real-time clock (RTC): built-in — for time-controlled processes, logging and shift scheduling without external hardware.
🌐 Remote maintenance with EdgeAccess2
The GL2070HE-LX is integrated into Kinco's EdgeAccess2 platform. Via a secured internet connection, HMI projects can be uploaded and downloaded remotely, the HMI screen monitored live, and PLC programs transparently accessed, read and modified — without sending a service technician on-site. This directly benefits anyone offering service level agreements with fast response times.
🔗 Extensive PLC driver library
Pre-configured drivers for all common PLC manufacturers are already integrated: Siemens S7-200/300/400/1200/1500 and LOGO!, Mitsubishi FX, Omron, Beckhoff TwinCAT ADS, Xinje XD/XL and XC, Kinco PLCs and Codesys V3-based controllers. Anyone operating an existing system with a different PLC brand will typically find a matching driver in DTools Pro immediately — without manual protocol configuration.
📦 Sister variants
Within the 7" GL2 family there are three siblings with an identical mounting cutout of 192 × 138 mm — when switching between models, the cabinet opening stays unchanged. They differ in touch technology and wireless connectivity:
GL2070HE-LX (this model): capacitive acrylic touch with multi-touch gestures, no wireless module, supply DC 18 – 28 V.
Kinco GL2070HE-WIFI: 4-wire resistive touch (glove-compatible), built-in IEEE 802.11 b/g/n WLAN, supply DC 10.8 – 28 V (mobile-ready).
Kinco GL2070HE-4G: 4-wire resistive touch, built-in LTE cellular module (FDD Band 1/3/5/8, TDD Band 34/38/39/40/41), supply DC 10.8 – 28 V (mobile-ready).
🏷️ Manufacturer and reliability
Kinco Automation is an established HMI and drive technology manufacturer with a broad installed base in the global industrial market. The GL2070HE-LX is CE certified according to EN IEC 61000-6-2:2019 (industrial EMC immunity) and EN IEC 61000-6-4:2019 (industrial EMC emissions), and meets IP65 on the front panel per IEC 60529. Kinco HMIs are installed at well over 100 spstiger customers in Germany.
