WB Data Concentrator (WB-DZ): Embedded system for the WB measurement platform

Description

Application of the WB-DZ embedded data concentrator system

The WB-DZ can carry out a wide variety of tasks within a single measurement platform.

• It collects measurement data from the connected WB components
• Operating a database as a data concentrator
• analyses the data.
• Monitoring of components
• The system also handles the HMI visualisations.

Seamless integration The WB data concentrator (WB-DZ) is a high-performance embedded system that can be easily integrated into the WB measurement platform via the internal bus. It performs data-intensive tasks reliably and efficiently.

Wide range of applications

• Data management: Storage of measurement data in databases
• User interfaces: Provision of websites for users
• Protocol support: Implementation of complex protocols such as IEC 61850

Powerful computing capacity Thanks to the high computing power of the WB-DZ, even sophisticated evaluations are possible. The results can also be graphically processed and visualized.

Flexible storage options The WB-DZ supports:

• SD card for the operating system
• SSD as mass storage for large amounts of data

Central control In addition to the human-machine interface (HMI) and measurement data storage, the WB-DZ organizes the parameter management system for all WB components. This enables central and efficient management of the platform.

WB-DZ component: Highly flexible embedded system for industrial applications

System architecture
The WB-DZ component is a powerful embedded system that communicates with connected components via the WB backplane bus. The bus is based on the CANopen protocol, a globally established industry standard that is also used in the automotive industry (e.g. in motor vehicles).

Performance variants and scalability
The WB-DZ is available in different performance classes and expansion stages to optimally meet individual requirements.

Operating systems and programming environment

• Flexible operating systems: Support for various operating systems, including an RT-Linux stack for real-time applications.
• Programming languages: The choice of programming language depends on the operating system used.
• Development support: Comprehensive libraries for efficient programming and customization of applications.

Interfaces and display elements

• Status display: LEDs visualize the operating status or other key information.
• Configurable ports: USB and LAN ports can be mechanically secured or removed if required, depending on the application.
