METPOINT® BDL and BDL compact
Monitor all values with a single measuring instrument
The METPOINT BDL and BDL compact are innovative data loggers that record critical process parameters in applications such as compressed air and gas applications. These electronic systems measure the connected input signals and generate the information relevant to the particular application. The data is displayed and stored on the device, allowing long-term archiving of the process history. In addition, alarm messages can be forwarded to higher-level systems, enabling assessment close to the process and, if necessary, rapid intervention on site.
Sensor inputs
2 to 12
Alarm relays
2 to 4
Display
3.5 to 7 inches
Protection rating
IP 44 to IP 65
Flow rate, pressure dew point, pressure, active electrical power, temperature and residual oil vapour content
The METPOINT® BDL and BDL compact enable continuous electronic recording of sensor signals that provide round-the-clock information about your compressed air and the quality of your application. This data is displayed and stored directly on the device, so the process history can be archived long-term and alarms can be forwarded to higher-level systems. The paperless recorder allows immediate assessment of processes and rapid intervention on site.
Analogue and digital sensors can be configured and connected without difficulty. All measured values, measurement curves and any limit value violations are clearly displayed on the colour touchscreen. In combination with a consumption analysis, you can create daily, weekly or monthly evaluations and calculate costs and meter readings.
With the optional web server, you can access the data logger from anywhere via mobile phone or tablet and retrieve all measured values and alarm messages in real time. Simply enter the IP address of the METPOINT BDL in your web browser and you are always up to date.
These versatile and flexible data loggers are ideally suited for use in the food and pharmaceutical industries, in quality assurance and production, and in environmental and climate measurement technology. In plant and equipment engineering, they help to implement intelligent and cost-effective complete solutions.
METPOINT BDL®
The METPOINT BDL compressed air data logger combines all important functions for quality control and energy management in a single device. With a choice of 4, 8 or 12 sensor inputs, it records all measured values arising in compressed air treatment and presents them in clear statistics and graphs. This lets you follow the recorded data easily and in real time and take the necessary action immediately if required. The METPOINT BDL can be used as a stand-alone solution or seamlessly integrated into existing systems. It can also be retrofitted and expanded modularly at any time.
- Up to 12 analogue and/or digital sensors
- Up to 32 limit values and 4 alarm relays for fault messages, freely configurable
- 7" touch panel TFT transmissive
- Degree of protection IP 65
METPOINT BDL® compact
The METPOINT BDL compact offers 2 to 4 sensor inputs, which can be configured as analogue, digital or mixed. Two additional digital or analogue inputs are optionally available, for example for electricity meters or pressure sensors. Critical process points are displayed in real time, which shortens your response times and increases process and product safety. This compact paperless recorder can also be equipped with a data logger with a memory capacity of 4 GB.
- Up to 4 analogue and/or digital sensors
- Up to 4 limit values and 2 alarm relays for fault messages, freely configurable
- 3.5“ touch panel, TFT transmissive
- Degree of protection IP 44, EN 60529

Frequently asked questions
What do the METPOINT BDL and BDL compact measure?
They continuously record sensor signals such as flow rate, pressure dew point, pressure, active electrical power, temperature and residual oil vapour content. The data is displayed, stored and archived long-term.
What is the difference between the BDL and the BDL compact?
The METPOINT BDL has 4, 8 or 12 sensor inputs, up to 32 limit values, 4 alarm relays, a 7-inch display and degree of protection IP 65. The BDL compact has 2 to 4 inputs, up to 4 limit values, 2 alarm relays, a 3.5-inch display and degree of protection IP 44.
Which sensors can be connected?
Analogue and digital sensors can be configured and connected without difficulty. The BDL compact optionally offers two additional inputs, for example for electricity meters or pressure sensors.
Am I alerted when limit values are exceeded?
Yes. Limit values and alarm relays are freely configurable, and alarm messages can be forwarded to higher-level systems.
Can I access the data while on the move?
Yes, with the optional web server. You open the IP address of the METPOINT BDL in your web browser and see measured values and alarms in real time, including on a mobile phone or tablet.
How is the data logger integrated into the control system?
Via the Ethernet interface to the company network and the internet. Process data can be forwarded via TCP/RTU Modbus output to higher-level control rooms such as a PLC or process control system.
Does the BDL help with energy management?
Yes. With a consumption analysis, you create daily, weekly or monthly evaluations and calculate costs and meter readings.
Can the METPOINT BDL be expanded?
Yes. It can be retrofitted and expanded modularly at any time. It works as a stand-alone solution or integrated into existing systems.
How much memory does the BDL compact have?
It can also be equipped with a data logger with 4 GB of memory.
