ProfiDAT®compact

ProfiDAT®compact offers the same benefits as our ProfiDAT® system, but being considerable smaller and more flexible. Designed for indoor applications ProfiDAT®compact is suitable for curved tracks as well as applications with switch points. Beside the double function of safe data transmission and protective earth conductor (PE), known from ProfiDAT®, an optical positioning system can be integrated to the slotted waveguide with the help of a positioning strip, offering even further savings of installation space as well as time.
