Core offering

Peter Jäger Datentechnik develops and manufactures proprietary industrial controllers (JDA48 series), interface modules, LED control cards, and digital output modules, primarily serving paper industry customers with VIB system retrofits and humidifier control. The company also delivers custom hardware and software development (Visual Basic, C, C++, PHP) plus project support services including design implementation, supplier qualification, and CE/UL certification preparation.

Product overview

Peter Jaeger data technology offers a portfolio of industrial controllers and related hardware/software products primarily serving the paper industry. The core product line centers on the JDA48 controller series: the JDA48-4 (new compact generation with integrated fan cassette) and JDA48-2 (19-inch rack format compatible with VIB MFC-48/MFC-148). These controllers manage 48 digital or analog outputs and support both VIB MFC and MODBUS-Slave operation modes. Supporting the controllers are digital output modules (JDA48-4-D12L/D12L1/D12S-AC/DC), interface modules (JDINT-I01/I02/I03) for serial data link connectivity, the JD-ACDC LED control card, and operator stations (JDINT-001/002/003). Software includes configuration software (JD-MBKONF01G/E), MODBUS/IP converters for network integration, and complete replacement kits for VIB system upgrades. The company also provides project support, hardware/software development, and production introduction services.

Products and services

• Controller JDA48-4 Series Compact multi-function controllers (80x106x165mm) with integrated hot-swappable fan cassette, supporting 48 digital or analog outputs. Available in variants for VIB MFC or MODBUS-Slave operation, with optional fan monitoring. Designed for industrial humidifier systems and actuator control applications in paper manufacturing.
• Controller JDA48-2 19-inch rack controller compatible with VIB MFC-48/MFC-148 systems. Available in digital (48 outputs, 24VDC/240mA) and analog (48 outputs, 0-20mA) variants with short-circuit protection, automatic shutdown above 70°C, wire break detection, and overcurrent protection. Undergoes multi-hour burn-in testing.
• Digital Output Modules (JDA48-4-D12 Series) Digital output modules with 2x6Bit, 2x4Bit, or 3x4Bit configurations. Outputs range from 0-240mA DC or 1A AC at 24V, with short-circuit protection in low-side and high-side variants. Compatible with VIB/Paperchine systems, with Min/Max current monitoring on select variants for quasi digital ON/OFF behavior.
• Interface Module JDINT-I03 Interface module with serial data link for VIB-Anlagen (AirTech Classic) humidifier systems. Supports standalone mode or integration with operator station with Hand/Automatic control. Features galvanically isolated contact inputs for QCS-system status messages. Replaces the older JDINT-I01.
• LED Control Card JD-ACDC LED control card for AC and DC coils, compatible with VIB humidifier systems regardless of coil type. Outputs switch up to 1A at 24VAC/DC with LED status indicators and fuse monitoring.
• Configuration Software JD-MBKONF01G/E Configuration software for JDA48 controller administration, enabling management and documentation of complex plant structures. Project-based structure for pre-planning and real-time parameter configuration, runs on Windows XP/7.
• MODBUS/IP Konverter Converter for MODBUS/IP to MODBUS/RTU protocol conversion, enabling MODBUS over IP control of industrial systems.
• Austauschsets JDA48-4 VIB (Replacement Kits) Complete replacement kits with JDA48-4 controllers for Andritz (VIB) systems. Includes mechanical mounting kit, controllers, and backplane modules for plug-and-play installation and modernization of existing VIB humidifier systems.

Direct peers

• Beckhoff Automation: German manufacturer of compact IPC-based controllers, EtherCAT I/O terminals, and PLCs that compete head-to-head with the JDA48 series in industrial automation and machine control applications. Both target machine builders and process plants needing high-density digital/analog output modules.
• WAGO Kontakttechnik: German manufacturer of the WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM and PFC200 controllers, with comparable compact form-factor industrial controllers, multi-channel digital/analog output modules, and MODBUS compatibility serving industrial automation customers across process and factory automation.
• B&R Industrial Automation (ABB): B&R (now part of ABB) produces compact machine controllers (X20 system), modular I/O, and stepper/servo drive controllers with comparable multi-channel analog/digital output density to the JDA48 platform, targeting machine builders and process industry OEMs.
• Valmet Automation: Valmet is a leading automation supplier dedicated to the pulp and paper industry (Valmet DNA DCS), directly competing with Peter Jäger Datentechnik's paper-industry humidifier/actuator control business. The most directly comparable peer by customer vertical and application.
• JUMO GmbH & Co. KG: German industrial measurement and control specialist producing controllers, recorders, and process automation hardware for industrial customers. Comparable as a mid-sized German specialist serving similar industrial verticals (including process/paper-adjacent applications) with proprietary hardware-plus-software solutions.
• Deditec GmbH: Deditec is simultaneously Peter Jäger's authorized distributor for the JDA48-2 line and an independent manufacturer of industrial DAQ modules, digital I/O cards, and embedded controllers. Highly comparable product portfolio (compact industrial controllers, serial/MODBUS interface modules) serving overlapping German Mittelstand industrial customers.

Broad incumbents

• Siemens SIMATIC: Siemens' SIMATIC S7-1500 and ET 200SP platforms are the dominant general-purpose industrial controllers globally. While far broader in scope, they represent the alternative customers might choose when modernizing away from legacy VIB systems, making them a strategic incumbent competitor.
• ABB Industrial Automation: ABB's process automation division (formerly including Bailey, Hartmann & Braun, and the legacy VIB/VTE Paperchine controls business that Peter Jäger's products are backward-compatible with) offers full DCS/PLC systems for paper and process industries, representing both a threat and an installed-base opportunity for the JDA48 controllers.
• Honeywell Process Solutions: Honeywell's Experion and ControlEdge platforms serve process industries including pulp and paper with QCS and actuator control systems that overlap with Peter Jäger's paper-industry humidification/actuator control applications, though at a much broader scope.
• Phoenix Contact: Phoenix Contact manufactures PLCnext controllers, Axioline I/O systems, and industrial interface modules — comparable product categories (compact controllers, multi-channel I/O, MODBUS/serial interfaces) and similar German Mittelstand customer base, though at significantly larger scale and broader portfolio.
