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 provid-
ing additional connections and functions.
STAUFF PPC-PAD-plus is operated basically by using the touch-sen-
sitive 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.

1.1 Intended Use
STAUFF PPC-PAD-plus, subsequently referred to as "device", enables
access to sensors used in hydraulic applications in machines and ve-
hicles. The various connections can be used to compile, store, monitor
and evaluate CAN bus data, digital or analog sensor signals for pres-
sure, temperature, volume flows, frequencies, speeds, particles, water
in oil, volumes and output, for example.
The device is exclusively designed for commercial use in mobile and
stationary systems.
1.2 Improper Use
All usage and conditions of use which are contrary to those described
in Section "Intended Use" are deemed to be unintended use and lead
