Highly flexible and scalable architecture

Modular input/output

Inputs and outputs are modular for easy expandability. The GP multichannel paperless recorder main unit alone provides up to 100 channels (GP20) of measurement.

Wide variety of input/output modules

Select from a wide variety of input/output modules.

Expandable to up to 450 channels (real actual input)

Supports up to 450 channels of measurement. Note that if MATH and communication channels are included, the GP20 large memory type can record on up to 1000 channels. The GP main unit and expandable I/O can both use the same input/output modules

You connect directly with a LAN cable without connecting through a hub or repeater.
* You can also connect subunits of the GM Data Acquisition System.

The number of channels is for analog input only.

Reduce wiring with distributed installation

When the recorder is installed offsite (away from the DUT), you can place the expandable I/O at the site and monitor data without the need for long-distance wiring of thermocouples and other sensors.

E-mail messaging function

The GP can send a variety of informative e-mail messages that include alarm notification reports, periodic instantaneous data values, scheduled report data and other information.

Automatic network setup (DHCP) function

Using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), the GP can automatically acquire the settings it needs (IP address) for network communications from a DHCP server. This makes it easier than ever to install the unit on a plant network.

Time synchronization with network time servers

GP uses SNTP protocol in client mode to acquire time information from a network time-server. This function allows any number of GP units within a facility to have precisely synchronized time; all units will record data with coordinated date and time stamp information. In addition, GP can function as a server, providing time data to other SNTP client units on the network.

Highly secure with proven reliability

Portable models

Our portable models are easy to take anywhere, and offer the same functionality and ease-of-use.

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.

Select file formats according to your application

For increased security, measured data can be saved in binary format. This format is very difficult to decipher or modify in traditional text editors or other programs. To enable easy and direct opening of the data in text editors or spreadsheet programs, choose text format. This allows you to work with your measurement data without dedicated software.

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.
