System Description
General Information
ProfiDAT® is a system for data communication between fixed and mobile consumers such as crane systems or other material handling equipment. The ProfiDAT®
system is installed in parallel with the electrification (conductor rail) system.
The data transmission system consists of at least one fixed and one mobile transceiver, a feed-in antenna, and the collector antenna. The mobile collector antenna can
continuously receive and transmit data. In addition to data transmission, the ProfiDAT® profile is used as a ground conductor rail (PE). The antenna for data transfer is an
integral part of the current collector head in the PE profile

The illustration above shows that the dual function of the ProfiDAT® profile results in a compact and fully integrated solution. An existing ground conductor rail can be
replaced by the ProfiDAT® system without additional space requirements or attachments.
The contactless wireless system safely and reliably transfers data (video, audio and control data) through a slotted waveguide at very high data rates in real-time. Speeds up to 100 Mbit/s with very low delays can transfer data safely and reliably. The special design of the conductor profile and the mobile antenna allows a secure transfer of data in a screened system even in difficult radio environments (such as a harbor environment).
The ProfiDAT® data transmission system can be combined with numerous Conductix-
