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.
