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 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 PC since con­fig­u­ra­tion and firmware are lo­cat­ed on a flash stor­age and con­se­quent­ly the mod­ule starts with­out a PC
• PC in­de­pen­dent time stamp­ing of data - by means of its own clock all ac­quired sig­nals are signed with a pre­cise time stamp. For track­ing the DSP syn­chro­nizes its clock with the PC
• 6 Sta­tus LEDs to dis­play mes­sages
• The op­er­at­ing tem­per­a­ture of all mod­ules is record­ed in a SPU
• Micro USB port for main­te­nance rea­sons (firmware up­grades und log­ging)
