Scalable data acquisition for the networked industry

In modern industry, where production processes are becoming increasingly complex, quality requirements higher and downtime more expensive, precise and flexible data acquisition is the key to greater productivity and efficiency. At the same time, industry and big data demand measurement technology that is more than just data collection: it must pre-process and monitor measurement data,
recognize extraordinary events and immediately incorporate this into process decisions. Rigid stand-alone solutions cannot meet these requirements. What is needed are modular, scalable systems that can be flexibly adapted to the respective applications.

This is precisely where the ProfiMessage D system from Delphin Technology comes in. The modular solution is both a measurement data acquisition device, controller and monitoring unit and was developed for production plants, test benches and field tests. Thanks to the expandable master/slave design and the different I/O modules, the system can be flexibly expanded at any time. The seamless integration via LAN, Profibus, Profinet, CAN bus and OPC UA makes it a future-proof
Building block for Industry 4.0 systems.

Versatile I/O modules

The system's performance is particularly evident in the variety of its I/O modules, which are designed for a wide range of signal types and allow maximum flexibility at channel level:

• The ADGT module has eight channels and can measure voltages, currents, resistance thermometers (Pt100/Pt1000) and thermocouples with high resolution and high galvanic isolation. It is particularly suitable for potential measurements on electrical components, for use in test benches, test systems or in environments with a high interference potential.
• The ADIT module offers ten analog inputs as well as one analog and one digital output and is designed as an all-rounder for applications that require voltage, current and temperature measurements. Control and simulation tasks can also be implemented via the output.
• The ADVP and ADVT modules, each with 15 analog inputs, are available for applications with many parallel measuring points, as is often the case in process monitoring or research.
• The AAST module combines analog and digital inputs and outputs and thus enables the direct implementation of control and regulation tasks within the device.
• The IOIT, OTPT and DIOT modules, which work with dynamic input levels and have galvanic isolation, are designed for recording digital signals, pulses and frequencies, for control tasks and for status monitoring in processes.
