Monitoring and automation with data loggers
Ob Spannungen, Temperaturen oder die Luftfeuchte: Datenlogger ermöglichen die Überwachung von unterschiedlichen Messgrößen und sind damit vielseitig einsetzbar. Die Verwendung eines elektronischen Datenloggers ist gegenüber einer manuellen periodischen Erfassung wesentlich effektiver, zuverlässiger und präziser.

What is a data logger?
Data loggers are electronic devices that record measurement data from The data logger can collect data from various sensors, such as humidity, temperature, pressure signals or voltage. The data logger contains connections for sensors and records these measured values. These measured values are stored in the data logger and transferred to a computer for analysis. The measured values are documented with a time stamp and can then be analyzed and evaluated using software.
Intuitive all-in-one software makes it very easy to visualize, analyse and monitor the measurement data. A user-friendly range of functions plays an important role here. More about the Software from Delphin.

How are Delphin data loggers used?
In almost all industries, measurement data acquisition and analysis form the basis of all optimization and decision-making processes. The quality of measurement data acquisition systems is therefore particularly important. Delphin offers precise and long-term stable measuring devices and easy-to-use software with extensive analysis and visualization options.
The Loggito and Expert Loggerdata loggers record measured values, store them autonomously, monitor the values and pre-process them for analysis. ProfiMessage devices are used for combined measuring, monitoring and control tasks.
The ProfiSignal software is ideal for monitoring and evaluation. Recorded data is analysed, visualized and archived. The focus is on simple and intuitive operation in order to carry out cost- and time-efficient analyses. Despite its ease of use, ProfiSignal can also handle very demanding data acquisition tasks.
Die Einbindung in eine heterogene Umgebung ist durch viele Schnittstellen leicht möglich. Treiber ermöglichen den Im- und Export von Daten in andere Hard- und Software. Via RS232/ RS485 lassen sich Laborgeräte, wie Waagen oder Analyse-/Ausgabegeräte, anschließen. Spezielle Protokolle sind ebenfalls verfügbar. PROFIBUS, OPC UA und Modbus TCP/RTU werden eingesetzt, um Daten mit Prozessleitsystem auszutauschen.
Advantages of a data logger from Delphin
Ein besonderer Vorteil der Delphin Datenlogger ist, dass sich alle Kanäle universell konfigurieren lassen. Es ist möglich, unterschiedliche Signale in einem Gerät zeitsynchron zu erfassen. Alle Ein- und Ausgänge sind galvanisch getrennt und somit für potentialbehaftete Messungen geeignet. Dasselbe gilt für die Schnittstellen und die Versorgungsspannung. Mit diesen Geräteeigenschaften werden störende Erd- oder Masseschleifen vermieden.
- Universal and galvanically isolated inputs (mA, mV, thermocouples, Pt100(0), frequencies, pulses, oscillations, etc)
- Monitoring and automation via analog and digital outputs
- High data security thanks to logger memory and password protection
- Extensive visualization options through trends and displays
- Intuitive software for measurement data analysis
- Configuration, visualization, analysis and operation from any PC workstation
- Decentralized, autonomous or PC-supported measurement data acquisition
- Mobile use of data collection devices
- Monitoring and alarm functions (SMS, e-mail, digital outputs)
- Data transmission via Ethernet, Internet, Intranet, GPRS/UMTS or USB
Why are data loggers so important?
Data loggers are required to document measured value curves and monitor limit values. It does not matter which measured variables are involved. Examples include pressures, temperatures, speeds, illuminance levels, radioactivity or voltages and currents in general. An alarm informs inspectors quickly and easily if values are not being adhered to and they can take direct action. This procedure saves time and money, as regular analog tests are not necessary. Especially for sensitive goods, such as chilled food or vaccines, measurement is essential in order to comply with legal regulations and ensure good quality.
What variants of data loggers are there?
- Temperature data logger: The temperature data logger can log both temperature and humidity data. With this data logger, a distinction is made between disposable devices and long-term devices - depending on the area of application and measurement accuracy.
- USB data logger: With a USB data logger, measured values can be transferred to a computer in no time at all and easily analyzed using the appropriate software.
- GPS data logger: During road tests, environmental and position data are recorded synchronously and analyzed together.
- Print data logger: A pressure data logger is used to analyze pressure curves over time and to detect short and transient pressure pulses and peaks.
- Environmental data logger: An important point for premises is the Co value. With the help of an environmental data logger, it is possible to measure the levels and concentrations of CO2 and other gases and to react quickly to critical values and eliminate problems.
- Shock data logger: Transportation plays a major role in the delivery of goods - shocks can lead to a loss of quality. Schock data loggers help here: they record vibrations and guarantee documentation from production to delivery.
- Radio data logger: Numerous values can be measured with the wireless data logger. However, many data loggers have to be evaluated manually; with the wireless data logger, measured values are transmitted to the computer via WLAN in no time at all.
