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
- Topologibestämning inklusive tillgångshantering.
- Detailed description and presentation of PROFINET networks
- Full approval report with all relevant incident information.
- Representation 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 v2.3 new features:
- Topology scan as an action defined triggering events (for example new network participants or access to the controller)
- Quality parameters (the traffic light principle) are shown in the topology.
- Topology scan of the primary IIT network
- Support for API alarm actions
- Telegram streaming directly via INspektor
- Optional login page & configurable email encryption
- New alarm triggers: interval triggers, SNMP trap receivers, topology changes
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
Thanks to PROFINET INspektor® NT's built-in web server, the network status can be displayed without any additional software on any computer with an internet browser. A visual warning can be set via the potential-free contact.
