Network compatible and modular
ProfiMessage are modular devices for data acquisition and
automation. A master/slave design makes ProfiMessage
suitable for both small and large applications that require
the processing of thousands of channels. Master and slave
devices can each accommodate two I/O modules. There is a
range of I/O modules for users to select an appropriate
module(s) for their application. I/O modules are available for
any number of channels and sensor types. A network interface
enables ProfiMessage devices to be integrated into a
TCP network or to be directly connected to a PC workstation
or laptop/netbook computer. Online measurement data
can be transmitted, saved and processed. The data can be
stored simultaneously within the ProfiMessage device itself.
ProfiLab is identical in construction and functionality to
ProfiMessage – only their housings differ. ProfiMessage
devices are designed for rail-mounted installations, and
ProfiLab, with its 4 mm plugs, for laboratory applications.
Product features
- Data acquisition and automation
- Data transmission via LAN (internet / intranet)
- Data storage capability for independent operation
- Modular and scalable
- Full potential isolation
- Universal inputs and outputs
- Control and automation functions
- Signal conditioning within the device
- Connection to external equipment and PLC control
- Configuration via PC
Universal connectivity
ProfiMessage's universal inputs enable the connection of
signals of any type including non-isolated signals. This
means costly measurement transducers are usually not
necessary. Potential isolation between channels as well as
differential inputs saves both time and money.
Universal inputs enable any unit of measurement to be
acquired (e.g. temperature, pressure flow, vibration etc.).
Data then undergoes direct scaling and linearization.
Conversions from mA to bar or ml/min take place directly
within the ProfiMessage device. High measurement precision
is achieved though the use of 24-bit resolution Sigma
Delta converters and enables the connection of the smallest
of signals (e.g. thermocouples).
Various Applications
- Multi-channel data acquisition
- Monitoring and alarm management
- Test stand automation
- Product testing
- Quality assurance
- Monitoring of buildings
Easy to configure
An optional integrated data memory can permanently store
up to 128 million measurement values without PC-support
and with edge or level triggering. The ProfiSignal-Software
enables online / offline analysis, visualization and operation
from any PC workstation as well as PC-controlled process
automation and database communications via ODBC/SQL.
Configuration of the Message devices takes
place with the PC user-friendly DataService / Configurator
software. Configuration data is processed online and permanently
within the devices. Configuration data may be
amended and adjusted during measurement runs.
