Intercommunication using Delphin products

Delphin Technology AG: Do you already use Delphin products or are you looking for a data acquisition system with universal interfaces? 

ProfiSignal has a new range of communication interfaces and the Message hardware is equipped with internal interfaces. These give users even greater flexibility in exchanging data with other hardware and software components.

Standardized interfaces make installation simple and users have access to a range of fully functioning communication solutions.

The following gives an overview of the available interfaces. You are welcome to contact us for information on how to apply them to your individual needs:

-    OPC Client
Hardware in production processes is usually equipped with an OPC Server. Typical hardware includes PLCs and analysis / monitoring equipment. ProfiSignal's OPC Client enables the measurement and process data from these devices to be transferred, visualised, archived as well as to undergo further processing. 

-    OPC Server
The data-server enables access to all recorded measurement data. The data, via OPC, can then be used for any type of visualisation or alarm system as used, for example, in a control room. ProfiSignal can analyse historical data at high-level resolution. 

-    XML Driver
Access to measurement data in ProfiMessage devices is possible via the XML-based Ximp protocol. It functions for any type of operating system and can therefore be used by Linux or Java applications. XML-based driver commands are used to deliver the data in the format required.

-    ModBus RTU/TCP
The standardised ModBus protocol enables the connection of power measuring units, any type of analysis/measurement device, control displays and many others to a Message device via either the serial interface or, for TCP versions, an Ethernet network. This enables a diverse range of applications: from process industry BDEs (Production data acquisition), mobile measurement cases with integrated power measuring units, through to fully automated testing systems.

-    OCX/API interface
This interface enables Delphin products (both hardware and software) to be connected to any type of high-level language. This makes it simple to get existing test systems to function with Delphin data acquisition systems. Users are then able to exploit the possibilities provided by the ProfiSignal software and our powerful database system.

-    ASCII export and import
Measurement data recorded by ProfiSignal can be exported at the click of a mouse and then processed further using analysis or spreadsheet software such as Excel. Data import is also possible: a powerful import tool enables the import of ASCII files into ProfiSignal.

-    SQL/ODBC interface
This interface has become established in database applications. Typical uses include BDE (Production data acquisition) applications and connections to test-data databases. The interfaces are generally used for processing test stand data and transferring ProfiSignal processed data to higher-level databases.

-    Customised drivers
In addition to the standard interfaces and drivers, our development team are also able to generate drivers for any type of connection requirement.   

If you can't find the driver you need or you are using a non-standard system then contact our technical sales team under 0049 2204-976850. We will be happy to assist you.
