Airborne Sensor control and data logging system
- 3D laser measurements of the earth´s surface
- Used in helicopters and fixed-wing aircrafts
- Standard PIP11 with flange, mounted on shock absorbing platform
- The PIP manages and controls the "Light Detection and Ranging unit" and acts as data logger during airborne missions
Smart Media Boxfiber to copper conversion
- Measured data recorded by a high-voltage "Partial Discharge and Diagnostics System" is sent via fiber optic (galvanic isolated, potential free) to a desktop analysis PC
- Use of TX2FX Ethernet Media converter in compact Smart Media Box
- Device is powered via an additional USB port
Maintenance Monitoring
- Used worldwide in Steel plants, on Ships, on Oilriggs, in Tunnels...
- Customized PIP 11 and specific housing
- Integration of Firewall, fibre optical IO distribution as well as installation of customer application SW
- Reliability, flexibility, compactness
Speeding controller Marocco
- CEC7-10 with XTEST-2 and automotive HDD
- Resistant against heat
- Extremely compact
- No internal wiring

Geodetic Fault Monitoring
- A number of requirements were the reason for choosing the PIP-5 computer produced by MPL
- The system needs to have a low power consumption
- The system must be compact and easy to transport
- The system must work autonomously for long time periods (1/2 year or more)
Meteorological Data Logging
- The data for temperature, rainfall, wind, thunder storms etc. are collected and stored on a hard disc. Up to ten sensors with serial RS232 interfaces are connected to PIP6 e.g.. ultra sonic sensors for wind speed measuring
- extended temperature operation, extreme low power consumption remote LCD-Interface
Monitoring System for wind farms
- Remote monitoring of wind turbines to reduce maintenance cost.
- The PIP6 communicates directly to the turbine controller and collects data (machine condition, vibration, etc.).
- Remote data access possible, allowing to schedule maintenance.
- Key points: high reliability, fanless design
PIP used in Mining Machine (explosion protected area)
- The PIP7 is the main processing unit in a de-centralized I/O-concept, communicating over Profibus-DP.
- All components have to be fanless since the cabinet is completely isolated without any air flow.
- Key points: fanless design, low power consumption, extended temperature up to +75°C, flexible I/O-concept.
