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.Main ApplicationsSTS Crane (Ship-to-Shore)RTG/E-RTGTM Crane (Rubber-Tired Gantries/ Electrified Rubber-Tired Gantries)Process CraneKey FeaturesSafe and reliable wireless communication using slotted waveguide technologyReal-time data transfer through prioritization of PROFINET data packetsPROFIsafe compatibleSolutions for expansion joints and separation pointsCost saving through dual use of ProfiDAT® as communication channel and protective earth (PE) conductor railCompact and fully integrable into conductor rail systemsStandard Application DataData rate [Mbit/s]:up to 100Real-time capable: Yes (PROFINET)Average latency [ms]: 3Maximum distance (without repeater) [m]: 500Safe communication: Yes (PROFIsafe)Dual use as protective earth (PE): YesMultiple mobile units in one profile possible: YesProfile section length [mm]: 5.000External dimensions (profile) [mm]: 50 x 56Suitable for indoor and outdoor applications: YesTemperature range [°C]: -25 bis +50
