Description
Core Product Summary (Brand / Model / Key Attributes)
The Micro Innovation GF1-10TVD is a 10.4-inch Micro Panel human-machine interface (HMI) from the GF-1 series. It features an active-matrix colour TFT LCD display with VGA resolution (640 × 480 pixels) and operates from an isolated 24 VDC supply.
The panel provides a display area of 212.2 × 158.4 mm, 256 colours, a minimum contrast ratio of 100, and typical luminance of 250 cd/m². It is designed for industrial visualisation and operator control in medium- to high-complexity automation systems. The front can be mounted to achieve IP65 protection when correctly installed. A stainless-steel front version is also available for corrosion-resistant applications.

Detailed Product Overview
The Micro Innovation GF1-10TVD belongs to the GF-1 Micro Panel family of visualisation units. These panels are intended for medium- to high-complexity automation systems and provide touch-zone functions for operator interaction. The “TVD” suffix identifies the 10.4-inch TFT colour version with isolated 24 VDC power supply.
The display uses an active-matrix TFT LCD technology delivering VGA resolution (640 × 480), 256 colours, and a minimum contrast ratio of 100. Typical brightness is 250 cd/m² with a backlight rated for at least 25 000 hours of operation. The physical display area measures 212.2 × 158.4 mm.
The panel is designed for front mounting in control cabinets or operator stations. The recommended front-plate cutout is 316 mm × 244 mm (centred on the fixing holes), and M5 fixing screws are supplied. Correct installation with the provided seal allows an IP65 degree of protection on the front. A corrosion-resistant variant with a stainless-steel front (material 1.4301) is available for demanding environments.
The unit must be loaded with the appropriate project data before use. Communication with the automation system is handled via optional communication modules that occupy the system slots provided on the panel. The GF1-10TVD is one of several supply-voltage and isolation variants within the same mechanical envelope (isolated 24 VDC, non-isolated 24 VDC, and AC versions exist).

Engineering Selection Highlights
- 10.4-inch TFT colour display with VGA resolution suits clear visualisation of process graphics and operator screens.
- Isolated 24 VDC supply matches standard industrial control-cabinet power distribution and provides galvanic isolation.
- Front-mount design with defined cutout (316 × 244 mm) and IP65 capability supports integration into industrial enclosures.
- 256-colour active-matrix TFT with 250 cd/m² luminance offers adequate visibility for typical plant-floor lighting conditions.
- Backlight rated for a minimum of 25 000 hours supports long service intervals.
- Compatibility with Micro Innovation communication modules allows connection to a range of PLC and fieldbus systems.
- Stainless-steel front option available when corrosion resistance is required.
Dimensions, Mounting & Connection Notes
Front-plate cutout is 316 mm × 244 mm, centred on the fixing holes. Fixing is by four M5 screws (supplied). A sealing gasket is provided for IP65 front protection. Power connection on the DC version uses a plug-in screw terminal (Phoenix MSTB 2.5/3-ST-5.08 type). The overall mechanical envelope follows the standard 10.4-inch GF-1 outline. System slots on the rear accept communication or expansion modules.
System Compatibility & Integration Requirements
