Intelligent measuring point for Online Analysis and PROFINET Monitoring
PROFINET-INspektor® NT is an essential diagnostic tool for certification, commissioning and inspection of newly installed PROFINET networks. Depending on the predefined trigger functions, the events are recorded in PROFINET-INspektor® and summed and stored per device. In this way, INspektor® detects quality metrics such as network load, data throughput, refresh rate, telegram gaps and telegram jitter that reflect the current status of communication quality. These parameters serve as commissioning and inspection criteria for new installations, but also as important information for maintenance and (remote) service.
Proven features:
- Approval according to PROFINET Design Guideline and Commissioning setting of PROFIBUS & PROFINET International
- An independent analysis and evaluation of PROFINET communication in real time
- Topology determination including asset management.
- Detailed description and presentation of PROFINET networks
- Full approval report with all relevant incident information.
- Representation of all PROmesh switches
- Display of status-relevant port statistics and leakage currents
- Self-learning thresholds – Thresholds are automatically determined for alarms after the acceptance test.
- Touch display that shows errors directly
- Jitter statistics for all devices
- The option to perform active or passive analysis of the network.
- Uninterrupted monitoring, even at a high net load
- Synchronization via time server
Firmware version v2.5 nya funktioner:
- Query of user-defined OID parameters from devices
- Visualization of the switching input status directly in the display and in the web interface
- Extension of the API interface
- Option of permanent mirror port activation for diagnostic purposes
- Display of individual customer logos on the display
- Various security improvements
Security functions in PROFINET INspektor® NT
- Detects new and unknown devices in the network
- Registers unauthorized programming or manipulation of the controller
- Identifies even the smallest peak loads in resolving network loads exact to the millisecond
- Recognizes telegram manipulation based on an increased jitter
PROFINET INspektor® NT as a continuous network monitor
Permanent analysis of network status is essential to ensure PROFINET communication - which is synchronized in real time or to overview the amount of external communication (e.g. Ethernet via camera and display system) .
PROFINET INspektor® NT is permanently integrated into the plant network and continuously monitors the logical telegram traffic under production conditions. The plant operator knows the current status of the network at any time and can therefore take concrete measures before the fieldbus fails and the plant stops. An integration of PROFINET INspektor® in the detection system is possible and useful for permanent monitoring.
Integrated Web Interface
Tack vare PROFINET INspektor® NT:s inbyggda webbserver kan nätverkets tillstånd visas utan någon extra programvara på vilken dator som helst med en internetbrowser. Genom den potentialfria kontakten kan en visuell varning ställas in.
