Data Transmission Systems

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

Main Applications

• Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS)
• Shuttles
• Transfer Cars (RGV)
• Sorter
• Electrified Monorail Systems (EMS)
• Skillet Systems

Key Features

• Data transmission at highest safety and reliability
• Lowest interference potential with other wireless systems through slotted waveguide technology
• Real-time data transmission through PROFINET/ PROFIsafe prioritization
• Worldwide radio country approvals
• Smart and fully integrated solution through unique 3 in 1 functionality
• Data transmission
• Protective Earth conductor rail (PE rail)
• Positioning strip
• Considerable installation space savings: most compact slotted waveguide available
• Considerable reduction of the installation time
• Simple integration through use of well-known Siemens WIFI transceiver (Scalance W series)
• Compatible to lifters, transitions, curves, etc.

ProfiDAT^® is a contactless data transfer solution for communication between fixed and mobile control units from Conductix-Wampfler. ProfiDAT^® makes it possible to achieve reliable transfer of mixed data (video, audio and real-time control) at very high data rates using Conductix-Wampfler slotted waveguide technology. Data can be safely transferred at rates up to 100 Mbit/s with average latency of only 3ms. The unique configuration of waveguide and mobile antennas results in a system with integrated shielding. This isolation means that ProfiDAT^® is license free and can safely transfer data, even in the most challenging radio environments (e.g. shipping container terminals).

ProfiDAT^® is excellently suited for integration into conductor rail systems because the waveguide profile has been engineered for dual use as the protective earth (PE) conductor rail. This results in a very compact complete system because an additional PE conductor rail is not required. The ProfiDAT^® data transfer system can be combined with multiple available Conductix-Wampfler conductor rail systems.
