1 CORE – cell voltage measurement module

The CORE module provides high-precision measurement of cell voltages for up to 16 cells in a compact and installation-friendly design. Thanks to its easy installation, it is suitable for all common installation variants. Each cell is monitored by an LED that immediately signals cable breaks, while status information is accessible in real time. With an extended operating temperature range of up to 100°C, the CORE module offers reliable performance even under demanding conditions.

It is available in two versions: ECONOMY and SAFETY (with functional safety).

2 BASE – Connection Unit

The BASE connection unit serves as the central interface between the electrolyzer and the measurement module. It offers flexible installation and housing variants for both cabinet and field mounting. The number of measurement channels can be individually configured to quickly implement customized solutions for specific customer requirements. The proven HydraLink system is used for wiring, ensuring a reliable and fast connection with a CAT5 cable (or higher).

3 GATE – Fiber converter

The GATE module extends the data connection to a range of up to 2 km and enables the conversion of HydraLink connections from cable to fiber optic. It is compatible with standard fiber optic cables of type OS1/2. This extension opens up various architectural possibilities, from remote evaluation units to complete fiber optic cabling and the grouping of multiple measurement modules. This enables the realization of a flexible and powerful infrastructure for demanding applications.

4 OBSERVER – Evaluation unit

The OBSERVER is designed for receiving, monitoring, and exporting cell voltages. The monitoring functions are fully configurable, allowing them to be tailored to specific requirements. The OBSERVER supports the most common communication protocols, including ProfiNET (SAFE), Modbus TCP, and OPC UA. Connectivity can be established either wired via HydraLink with CAT5 cables or optically via fiber optics.

It is available in two versions: ECONOMY and SAFETY (with functional safety).
