Expert Vibro | Vibration measurement

Expert Vibro is the device for acquiring transient signals and vibrations. The latest processor technology, based on powerful FPGAs, enables 4, 8, 12 or 16 synchronous channels to be processed at sampling rates to 50 kHz per channel while requiring minimal space. 24-Bit A/D converters ensure high precision.

Functions

Universal inputs and outputs and secure monitoring

The Expert Vibro is equipped with 4, 8, 12 or 16 synchronous analog inputs with sampling rates of up to 50kHz per channel. It uses a 24-Bit A/D converter to guarantee a high-precision measurement. Channels are all galvanically isolated from each other. This prevents the occurrence of any transverse interference between channels. Integrated comparators and digital inputs allow flexible triggering. Measurement data is monitored "on the fly" with up to 8 digital outputs that can be switched within msecs in the event of limit value violations.

Software channels are available to systematically group limit value violations into batch alarms. Instead of using digital outputs, alarms can also be processed via fieldbus interfaces. Characteristic values or raw time signals from analog inputs can be output to two analog outputs.

Modular analysis
Versatile software channels enable the Expert Vibro to perform complex analysis and monitoring tasks. All relevant characteristic values are obtained from spectra and time signals. Spectra are calculated online (FFT) and saved with time signals and characteristic values. Users can modularly determine the analysis functions required for specific channels. Functions include high, low and band pass filters, integrators, FFT algorithms and many more.

Harmonic vibration monitoring is a typical requirement. Phase measurement delivers the necessary characteristic values. Odd harmonics can also be calculated, such as the blade passing frequency. To monitor frequency bands, speed-adaptive narrow-band characteristics are evaluated. Such characteristics are main frequency and a band's RMS (root mean square) or maximum amplitude.

Applications

Expert Vibro is suitable for many different types of application. It has universal sensor inputs which can be switched, via software, to the sensor type required. IEPE accelerometer, speed or vibration sensors are easy to connect.

Any type of voltage or current output sensor may be used – for example, fast pressure sensors for noise measurement/humming in combustion processes. Each input is individually configurable. Velocity and shaft vibration measurement can be performed simultaneously.

Expert Key | PC-based measurement technology

Expert Key devices have been specially developed for PC-based measurement data acquisition and testing technology. ProfiSignal Go enable users to quickly begin acquiring their measurement data.

Developed for the user
Expert Key devices have been designed and developed according to actual customer requirements and incorporate reliable measurement technology. The devices can be connected to PCs via USB or LAN interfaces.

The standard version provides users with a practical range of functions. Users select the functions that they need.

Expert Key devices are simple to use and the ProfiSignal Go software is highly user friendly. A patented measurement procedure and ease of operation enables users to quickly carry out data acquisition and evaluation without the need for extensive periods of learning and familiarization. Just three steps are required to portray measurement data in trend diagrams. Data is stored continuously to a database. Users will be impressed by the system's functioning.

Whatever the requirements, Delphin has the matching system: whether for fast system setup, for mobile systems or for fixed installations.

Functions

All Expert Key devices offer extensive features. The combination of all these functions into one device makes Expert Key unique in the broad field of USB data acquisition technology.
Functions of Expert Key

Universal and flexible application
14 or 28 differential analog inputs
USB and Ethernet interface in one deviceUniversally usable inputs for thermocouples, RTDs, mV or mA signals
High accuracy 18 Bit A/D converter
Fast measurement speed (100,000 readings per second)
Analog and digital outputs, PWM outputs, counter inputs
Full potential isolation
Practical: for up to 2,5 mm² lines connecting terminals
"Made in Germany" quality

Universal configuration
The Expert devices have full potential isolation in the form of analog differential inputs that users configure according to requirements: for mA/mV and V signals as well as for RTD or thermocouples. These universal options enable simple operation of the device.

Integrated signal conditioning enables any type of sensor to be connected to the plug-in screw terminals. Scaled measurement data is then available to users. Recalculation from mA signal to bar, % etc. is unnecessary.

The analog outputs can be easily switched between current and voltage output.

Digital inputs (status inputs with counters of up to 1MHz) and digital outputs (switch outputs, PWM-outputs) with switch capacities of up to 30W are included within the compact device and can be utilized at no extra cost or effort.

Each channel is easily configured at sampling rates of 100 KHz using the DataService / Configurator software included in delivery. To display your data on the screen, just select the required sensor, measurement range and scaling.

Full potential isolation
The Expert Key provides full potential isolation, a feature that is absent in many low-cost products. The analogs, with 18-bit AD converters, as well as the digitals, are galvanically isolated from the central unit (a modern FPGA) and from the PC interfaces (Ethernet/USB). Earth loops or non-isolated signals therefore present no problems and additional transformers are usually unnecessary.

Highly communicative
As communication interfaces, the device has a USB port for plug and play operation and an Ethernet port for measurement data acquisition across company networks. Fast system set-up and mobile measurement with a laptop and the ProfiSignal Go software are therefore always possible. Fixed installations using cabinet systems are also possible.

Models

Two versions, five models

Expert Key devicesare available in five models each with two version types. The Expert Key type 100 is equipped with a good range of analog and digital inputs and outputs and is therefore highly suited for use within test engineering. The Expert Key type 200 has 28 universal inputs and is intended more for analog measurement data.

Expert Key L – the pop-up, table-top model
Expert Key P – the laboratory model with 4mm plugs
Expert Key C – for fixed installations in cabinets
Expert Key M – the sturdy mobile case
Expert Key T – console housing for laboratories and test stand

All models are equipped with USB and Ethernet interfaces.

PC Software

Wide range of features

All Expert Key devices offer a wide range of features. The combination of all these functions into one device makes Expert Key unique in the broad field of USB data acquisition technology.

Acquisition and storage
ProfiSignal Go is the intuitive software for storing measurement data, for displaying trends, and for analysis and export functions. Current measurement data can be observed online in one trend while users evaluate archived data in another.

Running ProfiSignal Go is extremely simple. It takes just a few mouse clicks to go from sensor connection to trend output. Its simple operation makes ProfiSignal Go a joy to use.

Limitless trends
There are virtually no limits to the portrayal of online and offline measurement data as trends. Archived and online measurement data can be evaluated without interrupting the current measurement procedure. This is a unique function and is especially valued by customers.

As well as y(t) and y(x) trends, logic trends are also available. The ProfiSignal Go toolbox contains trend functions such as moveable axes, zoom functions, cursors and markers, and data exports in CSV or EMF formats. This useful toolbox is simple to use. Configured trends can be saved and reused later.

Upgrading to ProfiSignal Basic and ProfiSignal Klicks is possible at any time to add functions for visualization and automation.

Alarm functions
As well as trend functions, ProfiSignal Go also provides alarm management. A global alarm list simply and clearly portrays alarm notifications in a table. Alarm settings for the monitoring of over-runs, under-runs, process violations, status outcomes etc. are configured using the DataService / Configurator software. Other actions such as emails, text messaging or triggering a digital output may also be performed.

ProfiMessage D | Modular data acquisition

With a ProfiMessage D device, you can immediately begin using a optinal PROFINET interface as well as communicating to third-party systems via an OPC UA Server/Client. The device is also equipped with a display to show important configuration and measurement data. Other special features include universal sensor inputs, high-level data security, and a diverse range of interfaces.

Measurement data acquisition, monitoring and automation

The device utilises faster processor technology to provide the resources needed to realise any application. Its modular design is based on the use of master and slave devices. These can be equipped with one or two I/O modules. A large number of I/O modules means systems can be adapted to different sensor types as well as to the number of channels required. The I/O modules are equipped with 8–24 analog or digital inputs and outputs. In addition to these modules, a range of fieldbus interfaces are also available. Easy connections are possible to PLC control systems for data exchange purposes. With such a diversity of features and functions offered by ProfiMessage D devices, you gain instant benefits:

Cost savings – just one system for measuring, monitoring and automation
Time savings – easy to configure and practical to use
Compatible for future needs – with OPC UA, ready for the IoT

ProfiMessage D enables you to easily develop applications according to your requirements, whether for measuring processes at machines, systems or test stands.

Functions

Flexibility for any sensor or actuator

Depending on the I/O module being used, each input can be individually configured for measuring mV, mA, RTDs and thermocouples. Universal inputs for voltage, current and temperature measurement make ProfiMessage D devices extremely flexible. Digital inputs are also available as status or frequency inputs, as well as digital and analog outputs.

A major advantage of ProfiMessage D devices is that the inputs and outputs are differential, high-precision and galvanically isolated – from each other and from the power supply. Earth loops are effectively suppressed. A unique system architecture also enables problem free measuring of non-isolated sensors.

Display
ProfiMessage D devices are equipped with a display operated via a jog wheel. The display enables important network settings to be made such as the IP address and net mask. Current measurement values can also be displayed.

Optional WLAN interface
ProfiMessage D is optionally available with a WLAN interface. Configuration is possible as a WLAN Client or ACCESS Point. When the WLAN option is selected, an SMA antenna connecting point is located on the front of the device.

Easy and effective configuration
Configuring ProfiMessage D is highly intuitive, quick to learn and user-friendly whether for setting up an analog input for temperature measurement or a limit value for a switchable output. Such tasks can be performed within just a few mouse clicks.

ProfiMessage D configuration takes place with the Configurator software that is included in delivery. It portrays channels clearly, and operation is intuitive and simple, similar to that of the Windows Explorer. Double clicking a channel opens a configuration dialog to enable users to set the channel properties. The individual configuration files are stored within the ProfiMessage D devices in XML format.

I/O modules

Modular and scalable

ProfiMessage D master and slave devices can each be equipped with up to two I/O modules. A single master device can be connected with up to 20 slave devices of the same housing designs. Data exchange between master and slaves takes place via a real time expansion bus using robust dual-wire technology.

Slave devices can be decentrally located and managed from a single master device. Nine different I/O modules are available for ProfiMessage D devices. Each master or slave device can be equipped with two I/O modules. When a master device is intended to process fieldbus signals only, it can be supplied without an internal I/O module.

Test stands frequently need to acquire combined vibration and process measurement data from rotating machinery (e.g. pumps, drives, motors, compressors). Such tasks can be performed using ProfiMessage D devices in combination with time-synchronized Expert Vibro or Expert Transient devices. Such combinations enable extremely slow measurement values to be acquired, recorded and analysed, along with measurement values of up to 50kHz.

Interfaces

Diverse fieldbus interfaces

The range of ProfiMessage D interfaces makes it extremely easy to communicate with external systems. Setting up interfaces and exchanging data is simple whether for a PLC, frequency converter or intelligent field device.

The number of ProfiMessage D interfaces has been further extended compared to its predecessor model. In addition to PROFIBUS, a optional PROFINET interface is now available. There is also an option for WLAN.

LAN/TCP
The LAN interface transmits all measurement data at high speed across an intranet or the internet. Any networked PC can access a ProfiMessage D via this interface. Other TCP services such as NTP, SFTP, HTTP and SMTP are supported. Internally stored data can also be read out via the LAN.

OPC UA
All Expert devices are equipped with an OPC UA Client/Server interface. This equips the ProfiMessage D series devices for universal measurement-data exchange at field level and therefore meets Industry 4.0 requirements. Measurement data and threshold violations can be immediately transmitted to subsystems via OPC UA. The OPC UA interface also provides data exchange to PLC systems and connections to process management systems.

PROFINET (optional)
ProfiMessage D supports different PROFINET topologies, e.g. ring, line and topologies, while adhering to the CC-B conformance class.

PROFIBUS
ProfiMessage D also has two separate PROFIBUS DP slave interfaces and is integrated into PROFIBUS via a GSD file. Any analog or digital signal can then be read or written to from PROFIBUS. There is the option to switch operating mode to redundant PROFIBUS (according to PNO 2.212 V1.2).

Modbus TCP/ RTU
The LAN and RS485 interface can exchange data via Modbus TCP/RTU. ProfiMessage D supports this operation as a Modbus master or slave.

RS232/RS485
These serial interfaces can function with individual and proprietary protocols. The protocols can be created either directly by the user or by Delphin. Applications include the control of climate chambers, laboratory devices, power measuring units and GPS reception.

CAN bus
The CAN bus interface can be programmed as required. Any identifier can then be read, scaled, processed and recorded.

USB interface (master/slave)
The USB interface (type C) can be used to read out the internally stored data to a USB data stick or connect a PC.

Expansion bus
The expansion bus enables up to 20 slave devices to be connected to the master device.

Software channels

Stand-alone monitoring

Monitoring and automation tasks are performed independently by the ProfiMessage D device using software channels.

Software channels are predefined function modules that users set up, configure and process within the device by mouse clicking. For example, computations can be performed on measurement via calculation channels. Limit-value channels monitor measurement data and issue alarms and dispatch emails in the event of an alarm.

There is practically no limit to the number of available software channels. All functions are independently processed by the powerful internal processor and ensure fully secure operation of the ProfiMessage D device.

ProfiMessage | Modular process data acquisition

ProfiMessage devices have been specially developed for use as modular measurement, control and monitoring units. ProfiMessage uses a master/slave concept and has a range of I/O modules to meet the requirements of any system. This enables the problem-free functioning of multi-channel systems.

Secure and stand alone data acquisition
Compact, modular design
Monitoring and automation functions
Combined process and vibration data
Universal analog inputs with high precision capability
Galvanic isolation across channels
Simple, intuitive configuration and operation
Ethernet interface for online operation
USB interface for data memory read out
Two PROFIBUS interfaces (single or redundant, according to PNO 2.212 V1.2)

Functions

Universal and galvanic isolation

A major advantage of ProfiMessage devices is that its inputs and outputs are differential, high-precision and galvanically isolated – from each other and from the power supply. Earth loops and non-isolated sensors therefore present no problems. This unique system architecture prevents earth loop distortions and enables the problem-free measurement of non-isolated signals.

Depending on the I/O module, each input can be individually configured for measuring mV, mA, RTD and thermocouples. Universal inputs for voltage, current and temperature measurement make ProfiMessage devices extremely flexible. Digital inputs are also available as status or frequency inputs along with digital and analog outputs.

Data storage functions
The integrated data memory can be partitioned and triggered to enable users to save their data either continuously or according to specified events. A drag&drop option makes it easy to assign connected channels to storage/memory groups. In the same way users can save data from virtual channels - i.e. channels that extend the functionality of data acquisition systems.

The ProfiSignal software is used for both manual and automatic data memory read out. Partial and full data transfers from the data logger's memory can also be performed using a USB stick.

Redundant storage within the device means data is secure even in the event of a PC or network failure; data security is important, and not just for FDA21 CFR Part11 compliance.

Models

Effective use

The ProfiLab device with 4 mm laboratory plugs is an alternative to the ProfiMessage model for mounting in cabinets on C-rails. The devices are identical apart from casings and connectors. Further information is available under technical specifications.

Depending on requirements, ProfiMessage can be used in a mobile measurement case or as a fixed installation in a cabinet system. Delphin offers its services for individual planning and installation.

ProfiMessage - for industry

Industrial-grade, compact design for cabinet installations
Screw terminals

ProfiLab - for the laboratory

Laboratory-proof, robust tabletop design
4 mm laboratory or BNC connectors

I/O modules

Flexible extendibility

ProfiMessage master and slave devices can be equipped with two identical or differing I/O modules. A single master device can be connected with up to 20 slave devices of similar casing designs.

Data exchange between master and slaves takes place via a real time expansion bus using robust dual-wire technology. Slave devices can be decentrally located and managed from a single master device.

Nine different I/O modules are available for ProfiMessage. Each master or slave device can be equipped with two either identical or differing I/O modules.

For processing only field bus signals, master devices can be supplied without any I/O modules. ProfiMessage then functions as a PLC data logger for process fault detection and diagnostics.

Interfaces

Diverse range of field bus interfaces

ProfiSignal software offers a diverse range of field bus interfaces. A master device is equipped with two PROFIBUS DP salve interfaces (redundant according to PNO 2.212 V1.2), a Modbus TCP and a Modbus RTU, as well as a freely configurable CAN interface. The interfaces can also be used to connect serial measurement equipment via RS232/485 ports.

Connecting ProfiMessage to a PC or server takes place via a high speed Ethernet connection. X-Message functions enable ProfiMessage devices to communicate without PC support and to exchange measurement data and alarm information.

PROFIBUS (redundant)
ProfiMessage also has two optional and separate PROFIBUS DP slave interfaces. ProfiMessage is integrated into PROFIBUS via a GSD file. Any analog or digital signal can then be read or written to from PROFIBUS. There is the option to switch operating mode to redundant (according to PNO 2.212 V1.2) PROFIBUS.

Modbus TCP/ RTU
The LAN and RS485 interface can also exchange data via the Modbus TCP/RTU protocol. ProfiMessage support this operation as a Modbus master or slave.

RS232 / RS485
These serial interfaces can function with separate protocols. Protocols can be created either directly by the user or by Delphin. Applications include the control of climate chambers, laboratory devices, power measuring units or GPS reception.

CAN bus
The CAN bus interface can be programmed according to user requirements. The CAN bus can read, scale, process and record any identifier.

LAN / TCP
The LAN interface transmits online all measurement data, including software channels, at high speed across the intranet or internet. Any networked PC can access ProfiMessage via this interface. Other TCP services are available such as NTP, FTP, HTTP and SFPMP etc.. The internal data memory can also be read out via the LAN.

USB interface
The USB interface (master) can be used to read out the internal data memory to a USB data stick.

Expansion bus
The expansion bus enables up to 20 slave devices to be connected to the master device.

Software channels

Additional functions

ProfiMessage devices are equipped with additional functions that can be categorized under the heading "software channels". Software channels enable functions such as threshold value monitoring, integration or online computations to be easily configured. This means that even users without programming expertise can easily generate and implement their own monitoring and record-keeping tasks. This concept has been taken from the popular TopMessage series. Users quickly learn how to effectively and efficiently use their ProfiMessage devices.

Software channels are predefined function modules that users set up and configure at the click of a mouse. Software channels each have one or more inputs and one output.

Software channels are easy to link to each other. This enables the problem-free processing of even complex tasks. Operation is intuitive and can be quickly learnt. All functions are independently processed by the powerful internal processor and ensure a fully secure operation of the ProfiMessage device.

Loggito | Compact measured data acquisition

The Loggito devices offer high-precision, universally usable analogue inputs as well as switchable digital inputs/outputs. With an internal memory of 4 or optionally 8 GB, each Loggito effortlessly records and stores up to 240 million measured values. In addition to internal pre-processing and accounting of measurement channels, the Loggito series enables integration into modern, digitally networked infrastructures. The cloud is an integral part of the measurement hardware, so that mobile access to ongoing measurement series is possible from any end device at any time.

Models

The Loggito series consists of three devices: Loggito Logger, Loggito Gate and Loggito USB. With the Loggito devices, measurement and control technology becomes flexibly networkable and also makes the data available for mobile end devices.

Loggito Logger

The Loggito Logger is equipped with an internal data memory and enables internal pre-processing and accounting of measurement channels. The Loggito Logger can be extended in connection with the Loggito USB.

Loggito Gate

The Loggito Gate is the ideal solution for logging and recording machine data in measurement networks as well as for control. With the integrated Ethernet connection and the available OPC UA (server/client) and Modbus TCP standards, it can be used multifunctionally. From a pure Modbus or OPC logger to a transmission solution in a DAQ software, many applications are possible.

Loggito USB

The Loggito USB can perform two functions:

The Loggito USB can be connected directly to a computer. This provides a very cost-effective and flexible measuring solution, e.g. for laboratory measuring stations.
The Loggito USB can also be used to expand the Loggito Logger with additional inputs and outputs. This means that the required number of channels can be provided, e.g. for control cabinet applications. Power is supplied directly via the USB connection to the Loggito Logger without an internal power supply unit. The USB module does not need an internal memory, as the logging function is taken over by the Loggito Logger.

Software channels

Software channels are predefined function modules that can be created and configured individually by the user via mouse click. The software channels are then processed internally by the Loggito Logger. Do you need a time measurement between two events, for example to determine the switching times of a valve? Or do you want to determine the maximum value of a test? Configure your Loggito Logger according to your individual needs! The software channels integrated in the Loggito Logger for real-time calculation and linking of channel contents can be easily and intuitively adapted without programming knowledge.

The software channels enable, among other things:

Online processing already during data collection
Calculation and statistics channels calculate, monitor, count and integrate measurement data
Limit monitors monitor limit and threshold values

Modular principle

Delphin have developed a comprehensive modular principle so that your compact Loggito measuring system can be tailored to your individual tasks. In addition to high-precision, universally usable sensor inputs, they can provide you with different channel variants from our modular system. Rely on I/O modules with different numbers of channels and digital inputs that can also be used as frequency and pulse counters. Pluggable spring-cage terminals and a clear connection diagram for easy wiring make the use of Loggito measuring systems a really convenient matter.

LogMessage 5000 | Potential measurements

LogMessage 5000 devices have been specially developed for use as universal data loggers. The ProfiSignal software enables users to immediately begin their measurment and analysis tasks.

Stand alone and secure data acquisition

The LogMessage 5000 is equipped with 16 universal analog inputs. The inputs are designed to cope with high voltages between individual channels. The LogMessage 5000 therefore has no problem measuring non-isolated signals.

LogMessage 5000 is an independently operating data logger for acquiring, monitoring, computing and storing measurement data. An internal data memory enables uninterrupted storage of up to 60 million measurement values.

Delphin customers are especially impressed by the system's intuitive method of configuration and the many options provided by the device.

Every LogMessage 5000 is optional available with the ProfiSignal Go software. Its intuitive operation enables users to easily and quickly acquire and evaluate measurement data with no need for extensive learning and familiarization. Users will be impressed by the system's range of functions.

16 analog inputs
Universal inputs for thermocouples, RTDs, mV or mA signals
High-precision differential inputs with up to 24-bit resolution
Galvanic isolation, isolation voltages of up to 650 V
Storage capacity of up to 60 million measurement values (standard)
Measurement data portrayable as trends and exportable in ASCII format
LAN interface for configuration and data transfer

Functions

Universal usage

The LogMessage's analog inputs are differentially and galvanically isolated from each other as well as from the power supply. Earth loops and non-isolated sensors therefore present no problems. Additional converters are not required. This saves on costs and greatly increases reliability.

The analog inputs are universal and can be used for voltage and current signals as well as for thermocouples. Some versions are capable of RTD connection and are ideal for temperature measurements. Special versions are also available, e.g. for high-level isolation voltages or sampling rates.

LogMessage devices are equipped with a range of internal calculation, monitoring and logic functions that are set up as "software channels". These channels process online measurement data and make it available for visualization, storage or control purposes.

Independent and secure

Once configured, LogMessage are capable of independent operation and require no PC support. Configuration and measurement data read-out takes place via Ethernet or USB interfaces. LogMessage devices are also capable of transferring online data to a PC. Users can therefore use their LogMessage device as a monitoring device at no extra cost.

LogMessage's serial ports can be used to connect a modem for remote access, or to connect other hardware for data transfer purposes. Alarm notifications and text messages can be transmitted using a GSM modem.

PC software

Acquisition and storage

ProfiSignal Go is intuitive functioning measurement data software for recording, trend portrayal, analysis and export. Online measurement data can be observed in a trend while evaluating archived in another trend.

ProfiSignal Go installation is very simple. It takes just a few mouse clicks to go from sensor connection to trend output. ProfiSignal Go is user friendly and is a delight to work with.

Limitless trends

There are virtually no limits to trend portrayal for online and offline measurement data. Archived and online measurement data can be evaluated without having to interrupt ongoing measuring procedures. This is a unique function that is especially valued by customers.

As well as y(t) trends and y(x) and logic trends are also available. The ProfiSignal Go Toolbox contains trend functions such as movable axes, zoom functions, cursors, markers and data export (e. g. as CSV or EMF files). Using the toolbox is self-explanatory. Configured trends can be saved and reused.

For visualization and automation functions, software upgrades to ProfiSignal Basic and ProfiSignal Klicks are possible at any time.
