ProfiDAT

ProfiDAT^®compact offers the same benefits as our ProfiDAT^® system but is considerably smaller and more flexible. Designed for indoor applications, ProfiDAT^®compact is suitable for curved tracks and applications with switch points. Apart from the double function of safe data transmission and protective earth conductor (PE) known from ProfiDAT®, an optical positioning system can be integrated into the slotted waveguide with the help of a positioning strip, offering even further savings of installation space and time.

FAQ

When is ProfiDATcompact used?

ProfiDAT^® is used to guarantee safe and reliable data transmission to mobile consumers.

This is especially important in critical port environments where the ProfiDAT^® system allows data transmission with the highest data rates. ProfiDAT^® complements our proven conductor rail system and can additionally assume the function of the PE. This allows for a very compact design.

Why is ProfiDAT used?

ProfiDAT^® is used for the following reasons:

Highest security, reliability, and availability
No signal interference possible (slotted waveguide)
Highest data rates up to 700 Mbit/s
Transmission of fast cycle times
Transmission of control signals, video, and audio

How does ProfiDAT work?

The data transmission system ProfiDAT^® is used for data communications between the base frame and the movable crane trolley. In addition to transmitting data, the ProfiDAT® profiles can also be used as a grounding conductor rail (PE). The ProfiDAT® system is based on slotted waveguide technology. In this particular profile, the radio wave is purposefully directed.

What transmission rates are possible?

Depending on the system length and the number of consumers (clients), the clients have to divide the total transmission rate of the stationary access point per section. The transmission rates of the access points vary depending on their used Wi-Fi standard (n/ac/ax), from 100 Mbps to 1000 Mbps.
