Functions
From measurement to evaluation - all in one solution
ProfiMessage devices are the ideal measuring system solution for the precise acquisition, processing and storage of measurement data in industrial processes, laboratory environments and test benches. They combine maximum measurement accuracy with simple integration into existing systems and at the same time enable autonomous data processing without additional control technology. This makes them particularly suitable for applications in which processes need to be reliably monitored, systems efficiently controlled and measurements documented over the long term.
- Simple integration into existing systems - Direct connection to PLC controls and flexible use of the fieldbus interfaces ensure fast commissioning and smooth data exchange.
- Maximum reliability due to galvanic isolation - Differential inputs prevent ground loops and interference, so that precise measurements are guaranteed even under difficult conditions.
- Flexibility in signal acquisition - Each input is individually configurable (mV, mA, RTDs, thermocouples), supplemented by digital and analog inputs and outputs - for a wide range of applications.
- High efficiency thanks to integrated intelligence - Measuring, controlling, regulating and monitoring in one device reduces the need for external hardware and saves costs and space.
- Convenient handling - Drag & drop configuration makes setup intuitive, while trigger functions enable targeted and process-oriented data acquisition.
- Secure and flexible data storage - Up to 14 GB of memory enable the long-term recording of millions of measured values. Data can be easily exported via USB or Ethernet, evaluated offline or backed up automatically.
- Wide range of applications - From process monitoring and system monitoring to vibration measurement technology - ProfiMessage can be used universally and adapts to individual requirements.
- Flexible system expansion –
Thanks to the modular architecture, master and slave devices can be individually combined and adapted to changing requirements at any time - from simple signal processing to complex, decentralized measurement and control systems.

Software channels as extended functions
Realise and execute monitoring and automation tasks easily
Our measuring and testing devices have extended functions, which are summarized under the term software channels. The online measurement data is offset against the software channels and then used for visualization, storage or control.
In this way, entire programme sequences can be configured very simply and intuitively with the regulation and control function. These then run autonomously without PC support. This is how you use your data logger effectively, also as a monitoring device or PLC replacement.
The software channels enable functions such as limit value monitoring, integration or online calculation and are configured very easily. This means that even users who are not experts in programming can easily implement their own monitoring tasks or balancing independently in the unit.
