Temperatures, pressures, vibrations or flow values must not only be measured correctly - they must also be available at all times, transmitted securely and stored reliably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, requirements are growing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Production facilities are becoming more networked.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>IT systems and cloud platforms access production data.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Downtimes, network problems or server failures must not lead to data loss.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Security requirements are constantly increasing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-accent-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b4b1c3d9d77acbac0f0961fd38603306 wp-block-paragraph\">The central question is therefore:<br><strong>How do you keep your measurement data protected, available and integrable from the field device to the cloud?<\/strong> <strong>And what types of data security are there?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Delphin Technology offers a holistic solution for this - from connecting the measuring devices to central data management and secure cloud communication.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-a3b0c9dd gb-container-00a24a60\">\n\n<h2 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-9f284cfd gb-headline-text gb-headline-deab2af6\">1. Data acquisition in the field - stable with PROFIBUS DPV1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first step in every measurement data chain begins directly at the system. Sensors record physical variables and forward them to measurement and data acquisition systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Delphin systems such as <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.delphin.de\/en\/products\/measuring-testing-devices\/autonomous-data-logger-expert-logger\/\" data-type=\"produkt\" data-id=\"939\">Expert Logger<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.delphin.de\/en\/products\/measuring-testing-devices\/vibration-measurement-expert-vibro\/\" data-type=\"produkt\" data-id=\"2123\">Expert Vibro<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.delphin.de\/en\/products\/measuring-testing-devices\/transient-recorder-expert-transient\/\" data-type=\"produkt\" data-id=\"1247\">Expert Transient<\/a><\/strong> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.delphin.de\/en\/products\/measuring-testing-devices\/modular-data-acquisition-profimessage-d\/\" data-type=\"produkt\" data-id=\"1257\"><strong>ProfiMessage<\/strong> <strong>D<\/strong><\/a> can be accessed via <strong>PROFIBUS DPV1<\/strong> into existing automation and control systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What does PROFIBUS DPV1 mean?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PROFIBUS is a widely used industrial fieldbus. The DPV1 extension also enables the fast exchange of process data:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Diagnostic information<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Parameterization data<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Service and maintenance information<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And all this during operation, without stopping the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Advantage for the user<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Simple integration into existing systems<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transparency of device statuses and diagnostics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reliable communication even in demanding industrial environments<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>High availability through redundancy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For particularly critical applications, Delphin systems support a <strong>Redundant PROFIBUS connection<\/strong>. If one connection fails, the second connection automatically takes over. This keeps data transmission stable and fail-safe - an important factor for continuous production processes.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-5c6ac7fa gb-container-00a24a60\">\n\n<h2 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-86464509 gb-headline-text gb-headline-deab2af6\">2. Central measurement data management - the Delphin Data Center<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All measurement data runs in the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.delphin.de\/en\/products\/measurement-software\/delphin-data-center\/\" data-type=\"produkt\" data-id=\"2203\">Delphin Data Center<\/a><\/strong> together.

Data security even in the event of network faults<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In practice, networks are not always stable. Short-term outages, maintenance work or server problems can occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Delphin DAQ systems therefore have a <strong>internal, fail-safe data storage in industrial quality<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What does that mean in concrete terms?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Measurement data is saved locally in the device, even if there is no network connection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As soon as the connection is available again, the data is transferred automatically.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There are no data gaps.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Delphin, data security doesn't just mean encryption - it also means <strong>Data availability and data integrity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-510cba41 gb-headline-text\">4. Securely into the cloud - with OPC UA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the exchange of production data with IT systems and cloud platforms, the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.delphin.de\/en\/opc-ua\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"10636\">OPC UA<\/a><\/strong> established as an international standard.
