Chapter 1 Description of the Multi Batch Function

1.1 Features and Benefits 1

Description of the Multi Batch Function

The multi batch function can measure the data of multiple devices operating asynchronously 2
on a single GX/GP/GM and create data files at the batch level.
The function has the following features and benefits.

Features 3
• Up to 12 batches (large memory type) can be measured and recorded.
• A measurement data file can be created for each batch.
• Recording can be started and stopped, and computation can be restarted for the entire
batch or for each batch. 4
App
• Batch overview allows monitoring of all batches (batch overview mode or all batch mode
(Web application)) or individual batches (batch single mode).

Benefits 5
• Because multiple devices can be recorded on a single GX/GP/GM, there is no need to
install a recorder or data logger for each device. This leads to reduction in equipment
costs. 6
• Centralized monitoring using a single recorder or data logger reduces the labor cost of
regularly taking rounds to monitor each device.
• The status of each device (each batch) can be monitored centrally.
• Centralized data facilitates data management. 7

 1.2 Recording and Saving Data

1.2.1 Overview
The multi batch function allows you to record and save the measured data from multiple
batches separately (per batch). You can also apply the multi batch function to multiple
consecutive processes.

The diagram on the following page gives a general overview of the multi batch function.

Number of Batches Supported

The table below shows the number of batches supported by the GX/GP/GM. Each batch is
known as a batch group.
Model Number of Batches Supported
GX10-1, GX20-1, GP10-1, GP20-1, GM10-1 2 to 6
GX20-2, GP20-2, GM10-2 2 to 12

Recordable Channels
On the trend, digital, and bar graph displays, the data of channels is displayed in groups that
are set in advance. These groups are called display groups.
The following table shows the number of display groups that can be set in each batch group
and the number of channels that can be registered in each display group. Display groups
are shared among the trend, digital, and bar graph displays.
For each batch group, the measured data is displayed per display group. The GX/GP/GM
records the data from the measurement channels, computation channels, or communication
channels (/MC) that are registered in the display groups and recording channels.
Note
If all the display groups in a batch group are set to Off, recording will not start even if you try to start
recording because there are no recordable channels.

Model Number of Number of Channels You Can Register

Display Groups to a Single Display Group
GX10-1, GP10-1 6 10
GX20-1, GP20-1, GM10-1 6 20
GX20-2, GP20-2, GM10-2 12 20

The conditions for recording display or event data (scan interval, recording interval, and
data type) apply to all batch groups. Likewise, the conditions for saving data files (file save
interval and save destination directory) apply to all batch groups.

You can start and stop recording for each batch group individually. Other actions such as
writing messages and resetting the values calculated on computation channels (/MT option)
can also be carried out for each batch group individually.

The computation and report functions (/MT option) each start and stop simultaneously
across all batch groups.

Display data and event data are saved per batch group. Batch numbers, lot numbers, file
headers, batch text, batch comments, and other batch information are saved to files along
with measured data.

Manual sample data, report data, and snapshot data are all saved to their own individual
files with no distinction between batch groups.

File name sequence number for display data and event data
Item Description
File name Consists of
sequence number 1-character batch group identifier + 5-digit number + 1-character delimiter
Batch group A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K, L, or M (A is used for batch group

from 00001 to 99999. If the number reaches 99999, it returns
to 00000.
Delimiter The delimiter is the same as with a GX/GP/GM without the multi

need to reload the Web application after restarting the GX/GP/GM.
• If you are using a GM in fixed IP mode, restarting will clear the mode. You need to set it again.
• If you are using automatic IP address assignment, the IP address may change after restarting. If
this happens, you need to reload the correct IP address of Web application after restarting.
• You cannot turn on or off the multi-batch function from the Hardware Configurator. Do this from 10
the main unit for the GX/GP or Web application for the GM.
• If the multi-batch function is enabled, the measurement mode is fixed to Normal. To set the

Appendix 1 Using the Event Action Function 1

Event action is used to execute specified actions when certain events occur. For example, 2
it can be used to write a message when an alarm occurs. When the multi batch function
is in use, you need to specify the target batch group that the action is to be executed on.
For example, you need to specify that a message is to be written to batch group 2 when an
alarm occurs. On screens for setting these sort of actions, a box for selecting a batch group 3
is displayed.

Example of Starting/Stopping the Recording on Batch Group 2

Recording on batch group 2 will be started and stopped using remote control input to 4
