Sequence control


Such an application is intended for users performing experiments and trials in R&D departments, in industry and in academic institutions.
Systems can be developed by the users themselves or by systems integrators - in any event users get the system-solutions they require. Systems integrators can use ProfiSignal Klicks to deliver highly competitive systems.


Basic functioning

 

  • Measurement data acquisition
  • Monitoring tests
  • Parameter / recipe input
  • Operation and observation
  • Management and control of testing procedures
  • Processing data
  • Evaluation of experiments


Networking capability


Inobalt's hardware and software is fully network-compatible. Any PC workstation can be used to evaluate data, input parameters, and operate and observe processes.
Inobalt systems support the parallel running of multiple test procedures. Tests can be performed independently and under different conditions.


Products


Inobalt provide complete hardware and software packages.


Expert Key


The Expert Key devices are available in several versions as measurement data acquisition and control devices. Expert Key devices are equipped with analog and digital inputs/outputs as well as counter and frequency inputs.


LogMessage


LogMessage devices are available in several different versions. Expert Key devices are equipped with analog and digital inputs/outputs as well as counter and frequency inputs.
Special features include inputs with isolation voltages of up to 800 VDC. These enable, for example, temperature measurement in cases where thermocouples are directly connected to live electrical components.
LogMessage devices are equipped with internal data storage capabilities that guarantee against data loss. This makes them ideal for long-term testing, e.g. service-life testing. LogMessage devices can function as stand-alone systems. Many monitoring functions are performed within the device itself.


ProfiMessage


ProfiMessage devices are similar to LogMessage devices. They are suitable for large numbers of channels (upwards of 30) as master-slave systems.


Software


Automation can be performed easily using ProfiSignal Klicks software. ProfiSignal Klicks is made up of predefined modules that have all the functions required for series testing.


Benefits of Inobalt products
