1 Properties and functions of the BlueBox
The BlueBox is the central element of the BlueBox-System. The BlueBox-System is a modular designed
measurement and control system.
The BlueBox is connected via CAN (Controller Area Network) technology with sensors and actuators.
For data processing and communication the BlueBox is equipped with the common interfaces.
1.1 Essential properties of the system
• Due to its modular structure the BlueBox system can handle almost every conceivable measurement
and control tasks.
• A BlueBox can be connected with up to 200 sensors or actuators. The connection takes place via sensor
modules

and actuator modules

(output modules).
• In addition to sensors and actuators from our own product range, we also integrate products of almost all
other manufacturers.
• The sensor-actuator modules and can be used in bus or star ciruit configuration

decentralized over dis-
tances of up to 1000 meters (optionally longer).
• Measurement transfer and communication takes place via Ethernet, Internet, cellular radio
3
(UMTS),
telephone line (ISDN, analogue), EMC or Modbus (RS-232 / RS-485), current outputs

(4 – 20 mA).
• In mobile use it is possible to the connect the BlueBox with a GPS for the continuous position determi-
nation.
