PROCES-DATA A/S

ABOUT PROCES-DATA

PROCES-DATA A/S, established in 1979, is located in Silkeborg, Denmark. PROCES-DATA is the company behind the P-NET fieldbus system, and the world-famous PD340 Flow Transmitter.

Besides being a specialist in sanitary flowmetering technology, PROCES-DATA also develops and manufactures a broad range of electronic control equipment and software for industrial automation.

MISSION

Development and production of quality components for process automation.

CORE COMPETENCES

Our core competences are development and production of flow transmitters, electronic devices and software for industrial applications. All hardware and system software is developed in-house by our own staff of engineers. Development activities at PROCES-DATA include design and layout of electronics, mechanical design, software development for PC and microprocessor based systems, and software development for our internal computer systems.

The product range includes standard fieldbus based hardware modules, such as controllers, I/O-devices, and flow transmitters, as well as components developed for OEM customer’s specific requirements.

PRODUCTS AND TECHNOLOGIES

In 1983, PROCES-DATA developed a standard for data communication, called P-NET, which is used for process control. P-NET is now an International Fieldbus Standard - IEC 61158 Type 4. P-NET is, of course, implemented in all PROCES-DATA products.

P-NET communication can take place on many different media types, such as RS485, Ethernet, WiFi, Internet, and GPRS.

One of the primary products of PROCES-DATA – the PD340 magnetic-inductive flow transmitter - is used throughout the world.

Among PROCES-DATA’s many control devices – programmable controllers and Input/Output modules – you should drop in at our stand and have a look at the newly introduced M100 Series, which includes powerful dedicated PLC controllers, including one with an integrated 7” colour graphical touch display, as well as multichannel I/O devices with built-in PLC functionality. All these new products are being configured and programmed using the VIGO6 software package.

The powerful VIGO6 PC-based software package includes tools for project management, programming, visualisation (HMI) and operator control, as well as data collection. Visualisation and operator control can take place on different devices - PC, tablet, mobile phone, or a controller with a built-in touch display.

PRODUCTION FACILITIES

Production takes place in our own high-tech production plant, located in a building close to the development department. Here, a state-of the-art SMD production line is immediately available for completely automatic mounting of components on the printed circuit boards used for our electronic modules.

CUSTOMERS AND INDUSTRIES

The majority of our customers are machine and process plant manufacturers, system integrators, and distributors located all over the world. These companies either use PROCES-DATA’s software tools and SCADA software to configure their systems, or they order the project engineering from our Project Department. Project engineering and customer specified project implementation on end-user projects, is not part of the normal activity of PROCES-DATA, but is provided by our worldwide distributor network.

Components and software from PROCES-DATA are used in a variety of different industries, including:

* Food industry

* Fish farms

* Mobile applications, such as tankers for milk, beer, and other liquids.

* Marine automation

* Concrete industry

* Animal feeding

* Retail shop automation
