System Products

System products extend the measurement point beyond sensing by addressing the infrastructure needed to power, protect, display, process, and archive measurement values. Endress+Hauser describes requirements that go beyond recording values: supplying power, protecting devices against overvoltage, visualizing or processing signals, monitoring limit values, and ensuring tamper-proof data archiving—functions covered by system products and data managers. Key categories include data managers/loggers, process indicators/control units, power supplies/barriers, WirelessHART solutions, gateways/modems, device-configuration tablets, energy/application managers, and surge arresters. 

The benefit profile is practical and reliability-focused. System products are positioned for easy installation and user-friendly setup, providing real-time on-site information and improving availability through proactive diagnostics and protection of measurement devices. Flexibility is supported through multiple housing versions, important communication protocols, and worldwide approvals, enabling consistent deployment across varied units and standards. 

These components close common “last meter” gaps in automation projects. Power supplies and barriers support safe and stable device operation, including intrinsic safety strategies where needed. Surge protection mitigates transient risk on long runs and exposed locations. Indicators and control units provide local visualization and limit monitoring, while gateways, modems, and WirelessHART solutions provide the connectivity layer for remote access, data transmission, and modernization of legacy loops without full rewiring. 

Typical applications include panel-mounted data recording for batch and quality documentation, local indication in remote tank and utility areas, and loop protection in high-lightning or electrically noisy environments. Data managers and loggers support tamper-resistant archiving and structured retrieval for investigations and compliance. Configuration tablets support efficient fieldwork by enabling consistent parameterization and faster device replacement or verification during outages and turnarounds. 

System products are most effective when engineered as part of a complete measurement-point design—signal, power, protection, visualization, and data handling together. Standard protocol support and consistent documentation practices reduce lifecycle friction, while on-site diagnostics and protective infrastructure help sustain measurement integrity. With a complete portfolio around the measurement point, system products help convert instrument signals into reliable, usable, and auditable operational information.
