Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the SMARTDAC+ Series GX10/GX20/GP10/GP20 (hereafter referred to as the GX or GP).

This manual explains how to use the GX/GP. Although the display of GX20 is used in this manual, GX10/GP10/GP20 can be operated similarly.

In this manual, the GX20/GP20 standard type and large memory type are distinguished using the following notations.

•Standard type: GX20-1/GP20-1

•Large memory type: GX20-2/GP20-2

Options are expressed using optional codes (/□□).

Example: Mathematical function (/MT)

For details on the settings and operation of the PID control module and program control (/ PG option), see the Loop Control Function, Program Control Function (/PG Option) User’s Manual (IM 04L51B01-31EN), provided as an electronic manual.

For details on other options, see the relevant user’s manuals.

To ensure correct use, please read this manual thoroughly before beginning operation.

The following manuals are provided for the GX/GP.

Basic Functions of the GX/GP

The basic functions of the GX/GP includes measurement, recording, display, storage, and data utilization.

In addition, loop control and program control (/PG option) become possible by installing the PID control module.

This section provides an overview of each function.

Measurement

The GX/GP can measure signals from thermocouples, RTD sensor input, DC voltage, On/ Off (voltage-free contact, level), DC current (mA), pulse input and resistance. (The input type varies depending on the module type.)

The GX/GP samples the signals received through the input modules at a specified scan interval and performs A/D conversion. These values become the measured values of each channel.

Recording

Data Type

The GX/GP can record two types of measured data: display data and event data (event only when the measurement mode is set to High speed or Dual interval).

Data sampled at the scan interval is recorded in the internal memory as measured data for each specified data type (display data and event data).

		Display data		Measured data
Measured value at
each scan interval
		Event data		Measured data
		Data type		Measured value at each
				recording interval

Dual interval

When the measurement mode is Dual interval, measured data of the channels assigned to measurement groups are recorded in the internal memory by each measurement group.

Measurement group 1 Measured value at each scan interval

Measurement group 2

Measured value at each scan interval

Display data		Measured data
Event data		Measured data
Data type		Measured value at each
		recording interval

Basic Functions of the GX/GP

Display Data

Display data can be likened to recording to chart paper on conventional pen recorders. Using the data sampled at the scan interval, the GX/GP records the maximum and minimum sampling data values within each recording interval (interval determined by the trend interval [/div]). Detailed data of each sample is not retained, but because the maximum and minimum data values are recorded, display data expresses the fluctuation range in each recording interval. In addition, because the number of data values can be reduced, display data allows long-term data recording to the internal memory.

	Max.	Max.	Max.
			Min.
		Min.	Min.	Min.	Min.
	Min.
			Scan interval	Time

Recording interval (determined by the trend interval [/div])

The measured data of display data is divided at the interval specified by the saving interval and saved to files.

	File		File		File		Adding data

Event Data

In the case of event data, the GX/GP records the data sampled at the scan interval at the specified recording interval.

Event data can be likened to the data acquired using data loggers and the like where data is sampled at the scan interval (or recording interval). Detailed data is recorded, but the data size becomes large.

Time

Recording interval

The measured data of event data is divided at the interval determined by the data length and saved to files.

Event data can be recorded using the following recording modes.

•Free: Records data at all times

•Single: Records data when the trigger condition is met

•Repeat: Records data every time the trigger condition is met

Basic Functions of the GX/GP

Display

Measured data acquired in the internal memory can be displayed on the screen as trend waveforms, numeric values, bar graphs, and the like. In addition, in accordance with the application or the situation at the actual site, measured data can be displayed on a custom display (/CG option) that the user designs using DXA170 DAQStudio.

Custom display

Trend Display of Display Data

The GX/GP shows display data according to the specified trend interval [/div]. The trend interval is specified as the time span per division of the screen.

For example, if the screen shows 19 divisions, setting the trend interval to 1 min/div will cause the screen to display 19 minutes of data.

Basic Functions of the GX/GP

Trend Display of Event Data

The GX/GP shows event data according to the trend interval [/div] that is determined by the recording interval setting.

The relationship between the recording interval and trend interval [/div] is shown below.

Saving

Data files that are divided at a specific time interval (saving interval) and held in the internal memory are automatically saved to an SD memory card (when auto save is set to On). Data files can also be exported to USB flash memory.

Media FIFO Function

If not enough free space is available when saving a new data file to the SD memory card, files are deleted in order from the oldest data update date/time to save the new file. This operation is referred to as FIFO (first in first out).

When saving the data files automatically, you can save the data so that the most recent data files are constantly retained in the SD memory card. This method allows you to use the GX/ GP continuously without having to replace the SD memory card.

Data Utilization

Measurement data files can be loaded into the standard software (Universal Viewer) to display trend waveforms and values.

Moreover, data values at the cursor position can be read, statistics (maximum, minimum, P-P, average, rms) can be calculated, and so forth.

The loaded data can be converted into Excel or text format to be analyzed with other software applications or used in other ways.

Control

By installing a PID Control Module (GX90UT), you can perform PID control of up to 20 loops (up to 6 loops for the GX10/GX20-1/GP10/GP20-1). 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 (up to 99 segments per pattern) of program patterns to be stored in the main unit. Further, up to 32 time events and 32 PV events can be set for each segment.

Setup Guide (Read this first)

GX/GP Setup Procedure

To use the GX/GP, follow the procedure below to configure it.

Configuration flowchart

1	Set the measurement mode.

	2	Make the main unit recognize the modules.
		(Reconfigure the GX/GP.)

3		Assign channel displays.
		Assign automatically		Assign manually

Initialize

4	Set the date and time.1

5	Configure settings.

Set the measurement mode according to the measurement conditions.

Operation: 1.29.3, “Setting the Measurement Mode”

Connected expandable I/O, GM sub unit, and installed modules are identified, and the system is reconfigured. If you change the system configuration, you need to reconfigure.

Operation: 1.29.4, “Reconfiguring the GX/GP”

To assign channel displays (display group settings) automatically, initialize.

To assign them manually, do it in “Configure settings.”

Channel displays are assigned automatically along with initialization.

Operation: 1.29.1, “Initializing the Settings and the Internal Memory”

1 If you need to set the time zone or Daylight Saving Time (DST) or both, do so before setting the date and time.

Configure the GX/GP settings.

See the various settings from section 1.1.
