Strukton is delivering another 800 data loggers, after the first 100 delivered in 2015, for a monitoring pilot initiated by DB Netz AG on approximately 1.000 point machines in Germany. The second step is a large-scale roll-out on the DB Netz network, involving the connection of over 12,500 point machines to the DIANA monitoring and analysis platform.
DB Netz AG intends to use the data and measurement results for preventive and predictive maintenance, in order to improve the availability of the systems and customer satisfaction.
The data loggers developed by Strukton in cooperation with DB Netz AG are based on the POSS monitoring system architecture. They are the result of the continued development of the new nano POSS hardware platform. Strukton’s data loggers are compatible with the DIANA sensor DIR-ACS developed by DB Netz AG (which measures the control current) and support the OPC-UA protocol, which is the international standard and a requirement for open communication. The OPC-UA protocol enables successful system integration of a wide range of systems with the common DIANA platform.
