*1. When using B-565 with other terminals,
Withstand voltage: lower withstand voltage will be applied
Accuracy: depends on the terminal

The input terminal and GL860 can be extended by using the connection cable for extension terminal (50cm / 2m)

*If the measurement is affected by noise, slow down the sampling interval.

CH copy function is useful for multi-channel measurements

Copy settings such as input, range, filter, EU, etc. at once.
The setup can be done simply by selecting a channel, greatly reducing the man-hours required.
Trigger and alarm settings can also be copied

Maximum Sampling Interval of Up to 5ms

Up to 5ms sampling speed is achievable when limiting the number of channels in use.

*Figures are approximate. File size of captured data is 2GB in GBD or CSV file format on this chart.
5ms: 1ch, 10ms: 2ch, 20ms: 4ch, 50ms: 10ch

Ring capture function

The most recent data is saved when the memory is configured in ring memory mode. (Number of capturing data is 1000 to 2000000 points)

Relay capture function

Data is continuously saved to multiple files up to 2GB without losing any data until capturing is stopped when the memory is configured in the relay mode.

Memory loop function

In addition to the existing relay capture function, the oldest file is automatically deleted before memory capacity runs out.

Hot-swapping the SD memory card

収録中のSDメモリカード交換機能

SD card can be replaced during data capturing when the sampling interval is 100ms or slower.
*When the wireless LAN is installed, the SD memory card cannot be inserted into the SD CARD slot.

Back up recording data

The data file can be created periodically for purpose of backing up data while recording it, and the file is automatically transferred to another storage device on the unit or FTP server on the network.

Backup interval: 1, 2, 6, 12, 24 hour(s)
Backup file destination: SD memory card or FTP server
Data file format: GBD (binary) or CSV (text)

  • The CSV format is available with firmware version 1.43 or rater.
    • Available sampling speed is the 100 ms or slower when using the CSV format.
    • When the RING mode or external pulse synchronization sampling is selected for recording, the backup function is not available.
    • The storage device specified as the recording destination of the measurement data can not be set as the transfer destination of the backup file.
    • When backup is enabled and data file format is specified with CSV format, SD memory card exchange (hot-swapping) and RELAY recording are not available.

Data file verification

It is a function to check the integrity of the data file when replaying the data file. It compares check-sum generated from the data file and recorded check-sum. When two check-sums do not match, the data file may be corrupted or has been changed by someone. The check-sum code is recorded into the file when data file is created by the GL unit.

  • Check-sum code is added to normal data recording file and also file created for backup, ring or relay recording. Adding check-sum is available for data files created in GBD format. When the recorded data file is converted and saved using GL100_240_840-APS or GL-Connection software, the check-sum code will not match.
  • This function is available with firmware version 1.43 or rater.

Multiple PC Interfaces Depending on Measurement Environment

Connection to your PC can be made via USB, wireless LAN or wired LAN.
*Optional B-568 is required for wireless LAN connection. The USB connection is a common A-B type cable.

Wireless connection with PC using Optional Wireless LAN unit (B-568)

*Optional Wireless LAN unit is available in limited region.

Wireless LAN option enables the wireless communication with the other devices.

Access Point enables direct connection to PCs and smart devices without a router.
Station enables connection to a wireless LAN router. Depending on the environment, data can be checked and e-mails can be received with remote PCs and smart devices via the Internet.

Wired connection with PC by Ethernet (10BASE-T / 100BASE-TX)

One-to-one connection with a PC or multiple connections via a HUB are possible.

Modbus/TCP

Data recorded by GL860 can be transferred to PLC via Modbus communication.
Recording start/stop control of GL860 is available from PLC. For more information on Modbus communication, please apply us for the SDK.

New service “G-REMOTE” *Additional charge for use.

Remote control and data capture can be easily performed using a web browser from anywhere with an Internet connection.
The recorded data can be backed up to a dedicated cloud server.
