Predictive monitoring with AI
Equipment/Quality Easy Predictive Detection

* Creating predictive detection models and profile waveforms requires the Equipment/Quality Predictive Detection tool (sold separately).

Easily determine the quality of processes and equipment with the Health Monitor function

By easily creating predictive detection models from past recorded OK/NG (Not Good) data and loading it into GX/GP, you can detect prediction of abnormalities in manufacturing equipment and product quality degradation at an early stage. And because health scores which show the degree of normal and abnormal data consider correlations among multiple data to make determinations, they can capture prediction of abnormalities that are difficult for humans to detect.

• Maximum number of channels: 20
• Shortest recording interval: 100 ms
• Target channels: I/O channel, math channel, and communication channel
• Files that can be used to create a predictive detection model:
  [Yokogawa products] SMARTDAC+, DXAdvanced
  [Other companies’ products] KEYENCE : TR-W1000 and TR-W500 csv file, CHINO : KR2000 and KR3000 csv file, EUROTHERM : 6100A and 6180A csv file

Profile function delivers real-time warnings of abnormalities

By creating a profile waveform from past recorded data and loading it into GX/GP, this waveform can be used as a threshold for process values. Profile waveforms are useful in applications where process values change over time. Also, you can see the deviation from the reference waveform on the screen.

• Maximum number of channels: 20
• Shortest recording interval: 500 ms　　*/MC option required

Please refer to the application notes for the proven effects and use cases of predictive detection.

*With 1ch per module. At 2 ms, 2 ch per module, and at 5 ms or more, all 4 ch per module.

Dual interval measurement with two different scan intervals

Users have the ability to choose two different scan intervals on a single GX/GP system. This allows users the flexibility to measure various types of inputs with two different scan intervals in a single system. For example, this provides for efficient, simultaneous measurement of signals with slow fluctuations such as temperature, and fast-changing signals such as pressure and vibration. Modules can be assigned to measurement groups.

MATH (including reports), and event actions

Report creation and network functions (/MT option)

Automatically create reports with any template

When the form template created arbitrarily is read into the internal memory of GP, a report in Excel or PDF format is automatically created. You can also output to a printer via LAN connection.

Provides a variety of convenient networking functions

Modbus/TCP and Modbus/RTU Communications

GP supports Modbus TCP/IP client and server modes for Ethernet communications and Modbus RTU master and slave modes for optional serial communications.

(Connect up to 16 Modbus/TCP servers, or up to 32 for the GP20-2.)
(Up to 31 Modbus/RTU slaves can be connected.)

EtherNet/IP Function (/E1 option)

PROFINET communication (GX90NW Network Module)

Powerful tool for instrument performance evaluation testing (/E2 and /MC options)

Highly precise measured data from power measuring instruments (WT series power analyzers) can be acquired without loss of fidelity on the GP, and recorded and displayed alongside the GX's own measured data. This is ideal for performance evaluation testing because you can record instrument power consumption, temperature, and other phenomena simultaneously.

FTP-based file transfer

The FTP client/server functions allow you to easily share and manage data from a centralized file server.

E-mail messaging function

Send alarm occurrence information, scheduled instantaneous values, report data, etc. by e-mail.

Rock-solid hardware and highly secure

Be confident that recorded data is saved

Measured and calculated data is continuously saved to secure, internal non-volatile memory. At manual or scheduled intervals, the files in memory are copied to the removable media. In addition, the files can be copied and archived to an FTP server.

Because of the inherent reliability and security of non-volatile memory, the possibility of losing data under any operating condition or power failure event is extremely small.

Strict security measures
Advanced security function option (/ AS) corresponding to strict requirements for data management

SMARTDAC+ GX /GP/GM advanced security function option (/AS) provides safe and traceable data management in applications such as pharmaceutical manufacturing, biotechnology, health management, and medical institutions.
The advanced security function supports the strict requirements of US FDA 21 CFR Part 11, EU-GMP Annex 11 and other associated guidelines for data management.
It also supports data integrity in accordance with ALCOA+ (Attributable, Legible, Contemporaneous, Original, Accurate, Complete, Consistent, Enduring, Available) mentioned in PIC/S, WHO, MHRA and FDA guidance documents.

What is ''ALCOA +''?
It refers to A: attribution, L: legibility, C: simultaneity, O: originality, A: accuracy, C: completeness, C: consistency, E: Persistence, and A: Availability. ALCOA + is a requirement for data integrity guidelines of PIC / S (Pharmaceutical Testing Contract and Pharmaceutical Testing Joint Scheme), WHO (World Health Organization), MHRA (Pharmaceuticals and Drug Regulatory Authority: UK), and FDA (Food and Drug Administration).

Secure electronic records

Measured data, settings, and operation logs are saved to a single encoded binary file. Encoded data in binary format offers a high level of security because it cannot be opened in most text editors.
If the data files are damaged or tampered with, SMARTDAC+ Standard Universal Viewer software will identify the nonconformity and notify the user accordingly.

Security data file transfer

Electronic signature(data record signing) function

Logical security

Data integrity requires that the right users have access to the right information.
SMARTDAC+ can create users with various access privileges.

• Four main security levels (two separate administrator roles, user and monitor user).
• Up to 200 persons can be registered.
• Process owners/ system owners can be given access rights to functionality appropriate to their role.
• For the password, a minimum string length and a minimum policy complexity can be set.
• Centralized management of user names and passwords using servers on the network is possible through ActiveDirectory.

Audit trail function

The SMARTDAC+ operation log is saved to a file along with measurement data.
When settings are changed, it is possible to record the reason for the change along with the setting change operation. In addition, checking the details of setting changes from ''setting difference operation history'' makes greatly reduces the data checking work during audits.

Free dedicated software download

SMARTDAC+ Standard Software is possible to display measurement data, display the operation log, and configure the GX/GP/GM. It is also possible to sign in data using the SMARTDAC+ Standard Universal Viewer.

Universal Viewer software

The Universal Viewer software can display data files in various forms such as waveforms and numeric values. It can display and print not only measurement data but also alarm and message lists and operation logs. With the operation log, a comparison of the settings before the change and those after the change can be displayed, allowing you to check the changes in detail.
It is also possible to sign the data by entering the user name, user ID and password after confirming the measurement data. If the data has already been signed, you can sign at a different level after confirming the signature state on the screen.

Hardware Configurator software

Hardware Configurator software allows for offline system configuration which can be imported via SD memory or external storage media as well as Ethernet communication. System settings can be printed in a table format to support GX /GP/GM system validation (IQ/OP/PQ).
In addition, a pair of selected setup data files can be compared, and their differences can be displayed and printed in table format.

Validation documentation

Validation documentation (sold separately) is a validation protocol template that simplifies GX/GP/GM and SMARTDAC+ Standard system validation. The document is provided on the Yokogawa website as an MS Word file for easy editing.*

*The validation and document verification are the customer’s responsibility.
