Intelligent measuring point for online analysis and PROFINET monitoring
PROFINET-INspektor® NT is an important diagnostic tool for certification, commissioning and inspection of newly installed PROFINET networks. Based on the predefined trigger functions, the events are recorded in PROFINET-INspektor® and summed and stored per unit. In this way, the PROFINET-INspektor® detects quality values

PROFINET INspektor® NT as continuous network monitor
Permanent analysis of the network status is essential to ensure PROFINET communication in real time and to overview the amount of external communication (for example Ethernet via camera and display systems).
The PROFINET INspektor® NT is permanently integrated into the plant network and continuously monitors the logical telegram traffic under production conditions. The operating staff is constantly aware of the current status of the network and can therefore take concrete measures before the fieldbus fails and the plant stops. It is possible to integrate the PROFINET INspektor® into the detection system, which is useful for permanent monitoring.
Integrated web interface
Thanks to the fact that PROFINET INspektor® NT has a built-in web server, the status of the network can be displayed, without any additional software, on any computer with a web browser. A visual warning can be set via a potential-free contact.
