The Delphin ProfiMessage D Data Acquisition System is the next generation, Industry 4.0 modular data acquisition, monitoring, and control system. A master/slave design makes ProfiMessage D suitable for both small and large applications that require the processing of up to hundreds of channels. The ProfiMessage D incorporates a new OPC UA software interface which allows open data exchange to facilitate integration with other equipment and systems. It also features several other enhancements over the previous generation of ProfiMessage systems:

• Built-in display for monitoring and network configuration
• Two PROFIBUS interfaces (single or redundant)
• Optional WLAN interface
• Optional PROFINET interface

The ProfiMessage D has a modular master/slave design. Both the master and slave devices can accommodate two I/O modules. A single master can control up to 20 slaves allowing up to 660 I/O channels in a single system. There is a range of analog and digital I/O modules which allow the system to meet the requirements of all types of industrial DAQ applications. A network interface enables ProfiMessage devices to be integrated into a TCP network or to be directly connected to a PC workstation or laptop computer. Online measurement data can be transmitted, saved, and processed. The data can be stored simultaneously within the ProfiMessage D device itself.

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 D’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 D data acquisition system. High measurement precision is achieved through 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

The configuration of the ProfiMessage D is done using a PC with the user-friendly DataService Configurator software. Configuration data is processed online and permanently within the devices. Optional integrated data memory up to 32 GB can locally store billions of measurement values.

The ProfiMessage D has an intelligent local controller which allows it to operate as a stand-alone device. This controller also provides many functions such as limits/alarms, calculations, logic, and other functions through software channels. This allows the system to be configured to meet the needs of many different types of applications without having to learn a complicated programming language.

Profisignal Software

The optional ProfiSignal software package is a Windows-based application available in three versions which provides a full range of capabilities from visualization and data archiving to fully automated test systems with report generation. Optional modules provide additional capabilities such as connecting to SQL databases, vibration analysis, or FDA CFR21 Part 11 compliance. The new ProfiSignal Web is a client/server application that allows platform-independent access to (remote) measurement projects from any standard web browser.

The Delphin ProfiMessage Data Acquisition System is a modular device 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 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.

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.

The 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.

Mobile Energy Measurement Case

These cases feature an integrated 3-phase power measuring unit for measuring the electrical power from motors, pumps, drives etc. Energy data from PLC or control systems can also be acquired via field bus interfaces such as PROFIBUS or ModBus. The energy measurement case is configured via LAN and can then function independently thanks to its integrated data memory capable of storing several million measurement values. The case can also be equipped with a UMTS modem to enable wireless operation for remote monitoring applications. Cases are now available.
