Monitorless Data Logger GLT400

Multi-use & Multi-function Input Data Logger

GLT400 is a multi-use data logger that can be used as a extension unit and a stand-alone measurement such as utilization at research and development, newly expanding the sector to production engineering and production, incorporation into control panels and devices, data acquisition from PLCs via Modbus/TCP, and as PC loggers.
Three types of analog input terminals are available in the lineup, which can be selected due to the input type, and can be expanded from the standard 20 channels to a maximum of 200 channels.
We can provide a document on how to connect to PLCs and other devices using Modbus/TCP.

Expandable and Various Input Terminals Depending on Applications

Combinations of input terminal / terminal base can make suitable machine configurations depending on measurement conditions.

humidity sensor

Digital I/O port available

Digital I / O can be used by connecting an optional I / O cable.

  • Input/Output cable (B-513)
  • When connected as a remote terminal unit of GL840, this function cannot be used.
Input/Output cable

Logic/Pulse inputs (4 channels)

Logic : No-voltage contact (A contact, B contact, NO, NC) ,Open collector, Voltage input (H.L decision)
Pulse : 3 types of selections (Rotation / Quantity count / Instantaneous) per channel

Alarm output (4Channels) & Signal input for external trigger (1Channel)

Start/Stop recording with external trigger.
Alarm output port (1 to 4) are set for each analog input channel.

Alarm output (4Channels) & Signal input for external trigger (1Channel)

Expandable Up to 200 Channels

By adding an analog input terminal and an terminal base, it can be expanded in 20ch increments from a min of 20ch to a max of 200ch.

  • Input terminal price is means of standard terminal price.
    Terminals (B-564,B-564SL,B-565) can be mixed. However, if you mix B-565 with B-564 or B-564-SL, the specification of B-565 will be equivalent as B-564 or B-564-SL.
    When connected as a remote unit of the GL840 series, 180ch is the maximum. (GL840: 20ch + GLT400: 180ch) (sytem max. 200ch)

Convenient Data Recording Functions

Ring capture function

Ring capture function

The old data is deleted, and most recent data is saved. When stop the recording, selected data point is saved.
(Number of capturing data is 1000 to 2000000 points)

Relay capture function

Relay capture function

Save data to multiple files with specified capturing time or file size until recording data is stopped.

Hot-swapping the SD memory card

Hot-swapping the SD memory card

SD card can be replaced during data capture when the sampling interval is 100ms or slower.

  • SD card cannot be used in the slot while the wireless LAN unit (B-568) is used.
