The Pro­ces­sor for Real-Time Anal­y­sis

The IFTA sys­tems base on a sig­nal pro­ces­sor for sig­nal anal­y­sis - the IFTA DSP. By means of the firmware IFTA Sig­nalMin­er it pro­vides real-time pro­cess­ing of input sig­nals and out­put of anal­y­sis re­sults. The ca­pa­bil­i­ty for real-time is in par­tic­u­lar re­quired when pro­tect­ing in­dus­tri­al plants, as it en­sures fast pro­cess­ing of sig­nals and high avail­abil­i­ty. For data stor­age and changes in con­fig­u­ra­tion the DSP com­mu­ni­cates via net­work with the IFTA DataHub soft­ware on an IFTA PanelPC, IFTA SlotPC or a work­sta­tion.

High­lights

• Real-time data anal­y­sis and pro­tec­tion
• Stand-alone op­er­a­tion - pro­tec­tion func­tions are fully func­tion­al even with­out a PC since con­fig­u­ra­tion and firmware are lo­cat­ed on a flash stor­age and con­se­quent­ly the mod­ule starts with­out a PC
• High ac­cu­ra­cy real-time clock that en­sures a pre­cise time stamp for all ac­quired sig­nals. For track­ing the DSP syn­chro­nizes its clock with the PC
• Sam­pling rate up to 204.8 kHz with up to 48 chan­nels
• Sup­ports PROFIBUS and PROFINET field bus com­mu­ni­ca­tion
• Sig­nif­i­cant­ly faster data pro­cess­ing than DSP V3.1
• 6 Sta­tus LEDs
• Mon­i­tor­ing of all in­stalled mod­ules with­in the same rack in­clud­ing tem­per­a­tures
• Micro USB-C port for main­te­nance (firmware up­grades und log­ging)
• SFP port for phase-syn­chro­nous anal­y­sis across mul­ti­ple sys­tems and there­fore the pro­cess­ing of a larg­er num­ber of fast input chan­nels
• Ad­di­tion­al front side Eth­er­net port to con­nect the DSP to a PC run­ning the IFTA DataHub Soft­ware
