Description
Delphin Technology Expert Logger is a new generation of data loggers. It combines the latest communication technology with advanced measurement technology and is based on FPGA technology to make it especially powerful. It can process up to 46 analog input channels at both low and high rates of sampling. Measurement data can be accurately acquired, independently stored, and transmitted to the internet or a PC for evaluation via USB, LAN, WLAN, or LTE.
Delphin Technology Expert Logger OPC UA Interface
OPC UA is becoming an increasingly established protocol and when used with the Expert Logger devices, measurement acquisition, monitoring and test stand automation applications can be made ready for open data exchange data in accordance with Industry 4.0/Internet of Things.
Both OPC UA servers and clients have been integrated into the Expert Logger devices to enable fast, easy, and barrier-free data exchange with sensors and sub-systems also supporting OPC UA.
Many products such as frequency converters, controllers and regulators have already fully integrated OPC UA. The opportunities provided by OPC UA have been identified within the measurement and sensor technology sector with several sensors and actuators now available with OPC UA interfaces.
In addition to OPC UA, Expert Logger devices are also equipped with PROFIBUS, ModBus, CAN-Bus, and serial interfaces for sensor and field-level connections.
Operation Made Simple
Sensors are connected via plug-in screw terminals and a chart clearly shows how channels are arranged. Users always have a good overview of the channels despite their high density. Each set of four terminals can be configured as two differential inputs to measure voltage, currents, and thermocouples, or to take measurements from a 4-wire RTD.
Configuration – Fast and Easy
The Expert Logger is simple to configure from a PC. These settings remain stored within the Expert Logger even when disconnected from the power supply. The device settings can also be read out and stored on a PC and analyzed offline without the need for a connected Expert Logger. The offline configuration settings are then simply read into the device when connected. The software used for configuration is simple to operate to let users fully focus on their measurement tasks.
Intelligent signal processing
Signal processing using internal software channels significantly simplifies measurement tasks. Flexible calculation channels enable measurement data to undergo further computation and recording. Integrators directly calculate volumes or quantities from time-related measurement data such as mass and discharge flow rates. Limit values can monitor measurement data and be used to switch digital outputs or automatically send emails. Complex signal processing is possible using pulse counters, stop-clock functions, and operating-hours counters. Averages can be calculated and recorded as time-weighted or moving. The Expert Logger‘s software channels clearly set it apart from other loggers and make it very popular among users.

Delphin Technology Expert Logger Model :
Universal, Communicative, and Reliable
Expert Logger is available in four versions which differ only in the number of analog and digital inputs they can process. All Expert Logger devices are equipped with internal 2 .. 14 GB memories that can independently store up to 420 million measurement values with date and time stamps to msec precision. Storage capacity can be extended as required via external USB or LAN storage devices (NAS). An integrated, energy-saving “sleep function“ automatically switches off the device during breaks in measurement acquisition. The Expert Logger operates with standard batteries, rechargeable batteries or solar units.
Precision measurement is ensured through the use of a 24-bit converter. Voltages can also be precision recorded to the μV range. All channels are galvanically isolated to suppress earthing loops and the tried and tested input circuitry protects the device against voltage spikes. Electromechanical components are avoided (relays multiplexer), and the device operates noise and maintenance-free. Delphin‘s patented analog inputs guarantee years of reliable measuring work.
Expert Logger Interfaces
Versatile interfaces of the device allow the connection of PCs via LAN, WLAN or USB. PLCs can be easily connected via the ProfiBus or ModBus interfaces. A remote connection is optionally possible by an integrated 3G / 4G modem.

Measurement Data Analysis
ProfiSignal Go enables users to portray measurement data online and offline and to carry out detailed analyses. The software can portray the Expert Logger‘s measurement data in trends. Users can choose between y(t) or y(x) diagrams as well as a range of other analysis diagrams. ProfiSignal Go is especially intuitive to make it highly user-friendly.
A range of options
- Online/offline analysis and diagnosis of measurement data
- A range of trend formats y(t), y(x), digital signal analysis
- ASCII / CSV / TDM data exporting
- Output or export of trends as EMF files
- Analysis using cursor functions
Offline data evaluation is easy and quick to perform. The software also enables fast ASCII exporting of the measurement data for MS Excel™, or conversion into TDM format. Our customers tell us that it is a pleasure to use ProfiSignal Go.
