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.
Page 16
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]).
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.

Trend Interval and the Speed of Movement of Waveforms The trend interval is analogous to the paper feeding speed of pen recorders and the like.

What Do You Want to Configure? 1. Measurement Source You can assign DC voltages, thermocouples, RTDs, and on/off signals based on contacts and voltages to channels to take measurements. The measurement section is modular, so it can be expanded as necessary. Input signals are sampled at the scan interval and converted to measured values through A/D conversion.

Accessing the Measurement Data File on the GX/GP from a PC (FTP server function) You can use a PC to access the GX/GP via FTP. You can perform operations such as retrieving directory and file lists from the external storage medium (SD memory card) of the GX/GP and transferring and deleting files.
Page 456
3.3 Accessing the Measurement Data File on the GX/GP from a PC (FTP server function) Connecting from a PC via the FTP An example of retrieving files using a browser is described below. In the Address box, enter ftp://host name.domain name. Drag the data you want to retrieve from the /MEM0/DATA folder in the case of internal memory data or the /DRV0 folder in the case of data on the external storage medium to the PC.
Transferring Data Files from the GX/GP (FTP client function) The display data, event data, report data, snapshot data, alarm summary data, and manual sample data files or setting files that are created in the internal memory of the GX/GP can be automatically transferred via FTP when the files are created. You can specify two file transfer destinations (FTP servers): primary and secondary.

File Type Description Display data file...
3.4 Transferring Data Files from the GX/GP (FTP client function) Transfer Operation • Even if you turn the power off during FTP transfer wait time, the elapsed time is recorded. • If you change the FTP transfer time settings during FTP transfer wait time, the data files that are being held are transferred using the previous setting.
Synchronizing the Time (SNTP client function) The GX/GP time can be synchronized to the time on an SNTP server (time information server on the network).

Chapter 4 Using Modbus Functions (Communicating with Modbus devices) Using Modbus/TCP to Enable Other Devices to Read Data from and Write Data to the GX/GP (Modbus server function) The Modbus function is used by the GX/GP and external Modbus devices to perform communication and data reading and writing. The GX/GP can operate as a Modbus server. The maximum number of simultaneous connections is 4.
4.1 Using Modbus/TCP to Enable Other Devices to Read Data from and Write Data to the GX/GP (Modbus server function) 4.1.3 Reading from and Writing to the GX/GP from Other Devices Other devices (client devices) can transmit commands to the GX/GP to read data from and write data to the GX/GP internal registers.
The GX/GP can operate as a Modbus client. The maximum number of connectable servers is 16 for the GX20-1/GP20-1/GX10/GP10 and 32 for the GX20-2/GP20-2. The GX/GP can connect to another device (Modbus server) via Modbus/TCP and read from and write to the device’s internal registers.
Specify the register number on the GX/GP by using the “reference number” (such as the number 40001 written above). For example, for the YOKOGAWA UT35A digital indicating controller, the D register number corresponds to the reference number as shown in the following table.
