1. Product Description
STAUFF PPC-PAD-plus is intended for recording the measured values of the sensors
connected. The sensors are connected via two CAN bus network and analog inputs. In
the case of sensors with automatic sensor detection, the parameterization of units and
measuring ranges is automatic. In addition, sensors without sensor detection can be
used with analog signals as well as a digital input/output and two frequency channels.
STAUFF PPC-PAD-plus can be extended by two input modules providing additional
connections and functions.
STAUFF PPC-PAD-plus is operated basically by using the touch-sensitive touchscreen.
Alternatively, the main functions can be selected via the six hardware keys. The USB
and LAN connections or wifi (WLAN) interface can be used to connect STAUFF PPC-
PAD-plus with a PC or local network to analyze the measured values.
