System Description General Information ProfiDAT®compact is a system for the continuous bi-directional data transmission between a local network and moving consumers. The data transmission is based on WiFi and occurs when the data signal transmits from a stationary antenna to the collector traveling along slotted waveguides. ProfiDAT®compact system can be installed in parallel to a conductor rail system, acting as a grounding conductor rail, or with an integrated positioning system. Here, the bar or matrix code band attaches to the ProfiDAT®compact rail, with an optical sensor positioned next...

System Description Functional Principle of the Slotted Waveguide A waveguide is a hollow profile with conductive walls that conducts high frequency radio waves. The radio waves are introduced by an antenna at one end and travel down the length of the waveguide. The geometry of the profile determines which range of radio frequencies can be transmitted with low loss. By taking into account certain electromagnetic properties, it is possible to introduce a longitudinal slot along one side without leakage of radio waves into or out of the waveguide. This slot allows a collector to run inside the waveguide,...

Main Components ProfiDAT®compact systems consist of three main components: • Feed-in sets • ProfiDAT®compact rails • Mobile units Feed-In The stationary feed-in set introduces data signals from a local network into the ProfiDAT®compact rail and terminates them at the end of a segment with the help of a terminating resistor. An access point connected to the feed-in antenna functions as interface between the customer’s network and the ProfiDAT®compact system.

Main Components Mobile Unit The mobile unit includes the ProfiDAT®compact collectors and clients. The antennas pull the signal from the rail and sends them to the connected client mounted on a mobile vehicle. The antennas also have integrated carbon brushes that connect the mobile vehicle to the ProfiDAT®compact, and thus allowing the rail to act as a ground (PE). The clients interface with ProfiDAT®compact’s WiFi system and the customers network on the mobile vehicle.

Main Components Positioning Functionality The ProfiDAT®compact rail with integrated positioning strip offers an additional space to affix a code band with a maximum height of 20 mm onto the slotted waveguide without the need to install any other components. Thus, the ProfiDAT®compact system saves even more space, as no additional barcode holder is required. With the addition of an optical reading head, which can be installed next to the current collectors, this code band delivers information about the position of the mobile vehicle(s). Both code band and reading head can be sourced from different...

System Components Feed-In Components Feed-In Sets End feed-in set - rail with positioning strip (rail end caps included) – Part No.: 051551-03 End feed-in set - rail without positioning strip (rail end caps included) – Part No.: 051551-04 Feed-in sets introduce data signals from access points into the ProfiDAT®compact rail and terminate them at the end of a segment with stationary antennas integrated into the rail profile. Therefore one stationary antenna is connected to an access point and the stationary antenna on the opposite side of a segement is connected to a terminating resistor. Access...

System Components Feed-In Components Feed-In Sets Line feed-in set - rail with positioning strip – Part No.: 051551-01 Line feed-in set - rail without positioning strip – Part No.: 051551-02 Please note: each ProfiDAT®compact system with line feed also requires (despite the line feed-in set) an end feed-in set, to terminate the signals at both ends of a segment. Terminating resistors will be supplied with the access points. Set includes: • 2 feed-in rails connected by a rail connector • 2 rail connectors (on each end) Line feed-in set = 2 feed-in rails connected with a rail connect

Access Points ProfiDAT ® compact Background ProfiDAT®compact IWLAN transceivers The ProfiDAT® compact transceivers (access points or clients) send and receive data via MAC-based data communication in accordance with the IEEE 802.11 standard. Access points are installed stationary near the feed-in units. They function as an interface between a stationary Ethernet network and the wireless data transmission through the ProfiDAT®compact profile. Moreover, they coordinate the communication to and between clients (transceivers installed on the mobile vehicles). This also means a ProfiDAT® compact system...
