Test & Measurement Applications

Application Application

Airborne Sensor control and data logging system

  • Germany
  • 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
Application Application

Smart Media Boxfiber to copper conversion

  • Germany
  • 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
Application Application

Maintenance Monitoring

  • Switzerland
  • 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

Control PC in transport vehicle

  • Switzerland / Slovenia
  • PIP8 is used as Control-PC in a transport vehicle to place 34 tons heavy pipes at their precise position (+/-1mm tolerance)
Application Application

Ultrasonic pipeline inspection robot

  • Inspection during full operation of the pipeline
  • Records ultrasonic wall thickness, cracks, caliper and pipeline mapping data
  • MIP405 works as embedded server in a multiprocessor network
  • Offers up to 40GB Flash-disk as mass-storage
  • Requires rugged, extended temperature design
Application Application

Seismic Data Recording

  • A Linux PC connected to a seismic digitizer and recording seismic waveforms. The picture shows the digitizer which is connected to a seismometer that measures the seismic signals.
  • PIP6-1 with SUSE LINUX
Application Application

High Speed Camera for harsh environments

  • Switzerland
  • Worlds most compact High-G, battery operated Camera
  • up to 32'000 frames per second
  • up to 100G for 20 micro seconds
  • 3.6Gb internal Memory
  • Extreme temperature -40°C up to +85°C
Application Application

Geodetic Fault Monitoring

  • Indonesia
  • 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)
Application Application

Meteorological Data Logging

  • Germany
  • 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
Application Application

Monitoring System for wind farms

  • Denmark
  • 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
Application Application

PIP used in Mining Machine (explosion protected area)

  • Germany
  • 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.
