High-speed Measurement, Dual

Interval Measurement (Measurement
mode)

The GX/GP has measurement modes to allow high-speed
measurement and simultaneous measurement of slow
and fast signals.
In high-speed measurement, a high-speed AI module
can be installed to achieve measurement at the shortest
interval of 1 ms.
In dual interval measurement, measurement can be
performed by two measurement groups with different scan
intervals.
Various measurements can be performed by changing the
measurement mode according to the measurement target
and measurement conditions.

Loop Control and Program Control
Function (/PG Option)

By installing a PID Control Module (GX90UT), you can
perform PID control of up to 20 loops (up to 6 loops for
the GX10/GP10). In addition to control loop monitoring
and the control group screen for convenient operation,

adjustment using the tuning screen is available.

Adding the /PG option to the GX/GP main unit allows
99 patterns and 99 segments of program patterns to be
stored in the main unit. Further, 32 time events can be set.

Data Storage

There are two ways to store data. One way is to record
measured data at all times (display data and event data).
The other way is to record only when events, such as
alarms, occur (event data). Measured data is saved to
the internal memory at the specified interval. Data in
the internal memory can be saved to the SD memory
card automatically or manually. Measured data can
be transferred automatically to an FTP server over an
Ethernet connection.
