It appears that your best choice might be a fieldbus like DeviceNet or Profibus. http://www.lighthouseplcs.com/hmi/index.html I didn't download any of the pdf files, but it doesn't look like they support SNPX protocol for serial communications.

If we use CMM321 then is it possible to communicate over MODBUS TCP/IP - with HITACHI Touch panel?

As long as the touch screen supports the Modbus TCP/IP protocol. It is fairly simple to set up the communication on the GE end. If you review the manual for the CMM321 chapter 4 has everything you would need to set up a stable commuication layout for your program.
