The processor has been significantly updated, allowing for enormous expansion and new products, here is a comparison between the current Profilux and the new PIII.

PII / P III:
ROM 128 kB / 1 MB
RAM 8k / >1 MB (jetzt FRAM + DRAM)
Clock 24 MHz / 100 MHz

The PIII will feature a built in webserver, the PAB (Profilux Aquatic Bus) will allow you to connect further card expansion boxes removing the current limitations on expansion cards and Plug bars

This display will have the same dimensions as the ProfiLux II display and will also be blue/white. But now it is a graphical display, and can display icons etc.

Spot on Jim, I have shut myself away for the last few days to try and make some headway with all these new prices and releases. We'll hopefully have some news published towards the end of the week, once the retailers have confirmed they are ready.

With this unit having a built in webserver does that mean you can access your Profilux from any where in the world, if so would the unit just need to be connected to your router in the home/office etc?

Thanks:)

Hi Steve,

Presumably, the EX2 probes, SMS and O2 will work with the EX3?.
I'm going to shift my EX2 to the big system, but the SMS/ view2/ o2 probe and redox are as yet unused.
I will look to upgrade to EX3, but don't want those bits to go to waste.... can I use them on EX3?.

Thanks
Mo
