Operator terminal for panel retrofit on legacy GOT lines
Per the specification, the Mitsubishi Electric GT1575-VTBA is a Graphic Operator Terminal aimed at retrofit slots on the older GOT1500 series where a colour touch panel is required without migrating to the iQ Works runtime — 100-240 V AC supply, RS232C plus USB on the comm face, and 9 MB of internal memory for screens and recipes. As evidenced by the datasheet envelope, the front face is rated IP67 for washdown cabinet doors while the rear is IP20, meaning the bezel takes the wet side and the chassis must sit inside a sealed enclosure — a typical split for an HMI mounted on a control-panel swing-front.
Spec-led fit check for the BOM line
The 100-240 V AC supply range covers global panel feeds without an external transformer, so a retrofit into a 110 V site and a 230 V site draws from the same BOM line. Comms is RS232C plus USB only — fully compliant with the older GOT project file transfer and bar-code reader wiring, but a buyer planning Ethernet should confirm the network option module is fitted separately, because no LAN port is declared on the face. IP67 front / IP20 rear is the expected split for an HMI Operator Interface: the bezel seals against the panel cut-out for washdown duty on a food, beverage or outdoor skid, while the rear terminals remain inside the cabinet protected to IP20.
Per the lifecycle record, the GT1575-VTBA is in a mature stage of its product life, with no official successor on file from the original manufacturer; for an audit-minded tender this means the part is still orderable but the buyer should treat it as a sustained-availability line and confirm each shipment against the current manufacturer traceable documentation.
