PROCON-Connect – Data acquisition from various control systems

Simple data acquisition, pre-processing and communication

PROCON-Connect enables industrial users to realize their IIoT use cases. The machine data is collected, pre-processed and can be communicated to the cloud, for example. The tool uses industrial protocols and communication drivers, which can be configured intuitively in the browser. PROCON-Connect enables users to generate added value from their data and relies on common standards such as InfluxDB and MQTT.

Managing recipes – with the ResMa® energy management system

Analyze and optimize production data on the basis of an MES system

With ResMa® recipe management, users monitor and manage industrial production at the level of an MES system. The software easily compiles production parameters in the form of recipes so that they can be easily managed and analyzed. Recipes are created based on data points and rolled out to production systems. The tool supports comparisons, variants and visualization.

10Base-T1L – Unmanaged Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) Switch

Up to one kilometer range with two-wire copper cable

The 10Base-T1L Single Pair Ethernet Switch forwards data in various automation technology applications and in other industries. It transmits data and power in industrial networks securely and quickly. It covers distances of up to 1000 meters. Thanks to SPE technology, the switch connects sensors and actuators to an Ethernet network via two-wire cables. The 10Base-T1L supports PoDL classes 10 to 14 and fulfills all PROFINET Conformance Class A requirements.

BasicLine Series B – Unmanaged switches

Fast and secure data transmission for every application

The unmanaged switches forward data packets in system control networks. They are particularly suitable for demanding environments. To do this, the switches establish an Ethernet-based connection between different network participants. An unmanaged switch forwards data to the network recipients. Mechanisms such as Quality of Service optimize communication. Comprehensive approvals allow users to apply the switches in many areas. Users configure the products using DIP switches.

DNV-approved Industrial Security Router

Security on ships for networks with high data throughput

The DNV-approved security routers secure the communication of ships. They separate up to four networks and protect them. At the same time, they guarantee a high data throughput. Four gigabit ports enable separate networks. A powerful processor guarantees high data rates. The galvanically isolated power supply and the design for future IEC 62443-4-2 SL2 security certification should be emphasized.

New products: Measuring and monitoring systems

u-sense wired sensors – robust real-time monitoring

Analyze vibrations and monitor machines 24/7

The u-sense wired sensors monitor machines and continuously check their condition. They record raw signals that are generated on the machine and process them in real time. They register the vibrations using micro-electromechanical acceleration sensors. u-sense is an open system and forwards information directly to higher-level data processing systems.

New products: Touch panels

Modern touch panels with web HMI

Intuitive machine operation via touch panels with HMI software.

In automation, operators intuitively operate and monitor machines and processes using HMI panels. If users want to adjust production parameters, the panel serves as a user-friendly interface for implementing changes. The underlying software visualizes the status of the machine. Widgets allow the user to easily edit and control parameters. The HMI panels are characterized by high quality hardware. In combination with the web-based HMI software, they are compatible with various controllers via communication drivers.

edgeML – Machine learning tool for automation

Deploy ML models independently of hardware and operating systems

edgeML makes it possible to integrate ML models into automation in a particularly easy and flexible way – regardless of the hardware. And this is done completely independent of the hardware. The tool uses machine learning to continuously and efficiently monitor systems or processes directly at the machine. Users import and manage ML models via the web interface using drag & drop. REST APIs and PROCON-Connect form interfaces to the system. The Docker-based solution is hardware-independent and enables simple, flexible integration of ONNX-based ML models into automation.
