PROmesh P10X: Features in detail
Detect and fix line-based defects at an early stage!
PROmesh P10X brings innovative online cable diagnostics to the IP67 area of
Achieved through a complex evaluation system that compares the current value of connected data cables with a set value corresponding to the cable length. The determined quality value (“Q value”) is clearly specified for each port.
Unlike other cable testers, PROmesh P10X performs the cable diagnosis continuously and during ongoing system operation. The innovative online cable diagnosis combined with the powerful industrial switch (IP67) makes this possible. Thanks to this permanent monitoring, critical cable conditions can be automatically detected and fixed by the maintenance department - before your system operation is affected!
Monitoring Features (with event notification) Simplified maintenance thanks to early detection
Detect anomalies in the network and data communication at an early stage. Maintenance work can be carried out in a more targeted and planned way - before errors or downtime occur. Relieve your maintenance staff and permanently stabilize your system operation.
FOR PERFORMANCE MONITORING Identify network load problem areas
Since the data traffic volume varies at different points in an industrial network, it is advisable to monitor the network load at important data nodes (=switches). If the data traffic exceeds the switch's capacity, data loss (discards) or communication disturbances occur.
These sporadic spikes in network load often occur due to acyclic data requests or TCP/IP applications. To make these short-term congestions visible, PROmesh P10X provides network load statistics. The statistics show all network loads per port and discards that have occurred, up to the second, enabling performance-related bottlenecks to be detected and eliminated.
EMC MONITORING Equipotential Bonding Ok?
Are you experiencing communication errors or interruptions? Despite proper shielding, EMC coupling in data cables occurs again and again in practice. To better detect these sources of EMC interference, the PROmesh P10X features permanent leakage current monitoring.
The integrated leakage current monitoring of the PROmesh P10X records the frequency and intensity of occurring EMC disturbances as well as the exact time. The precise time of the event is recorded and saved to simplify the search for the source of the disturbance. Viewing the snapshot is done effortlessly via the integrated web interface.
The automatic alarm notification is sent if a value exceeds the freely set limit value.
VOLTAGE MONITORING (24 V) Over/Under Voltage Present ?
Turning switching components and loads on and off can cause voltage fluctuations in the system. These over or under voltages can damage or cause failure of switches and other components.
In the case of switches, with the central communication nodes, such failures are particularly critical because system communication would be significantly affected. For this reason, the PROmesh P10X has integrated monitoring of the power supply (24 V) which can be integrated into your central network monitoring as an additional stability parameter.
TEMPERATURE MONITORING Safety despite extreme conditions
The extended temperature range (-40 to +75 °C) means that PROmesh P10X can be used even in extreme environmental conditions. The integrated monitoring of the device temperature provides extra safety during use.
In addition, thermal wear on the switch can also be tracked and reduced. The integrated web interface makes it possible to manage the individual tolerance range for temperature warning.
All relevant state values
Better plant availability without extra inspection effort
Modern facilities and machines are network-based. The health of your network reveals a tremendous amount about the available reserves of your system. By monitoring the health of the network, it becomes possible to secure or even increase the plant's availability. Make the status of your (sub)network visible at any time with PROmesh P10X.
CLEAR USER INTERFACE(According to traffic light color scheme)
States and metrics only help if you can use them in a simplistic way. For that reason, the PROmesh P10X has an integrated web interface that records (and saves) monitoring and diagnostic data. They can then be easily viewed onsite or remotely for review.

EVENT ALARM WITH PUSH NOTIFICATION(Individually customizable)
PROmesh P10X's alarm manager documents all events and deviations down to the millisecond, regardless of the preset according to Indu-Sol's recommendation or individual value. Detect and eliminate potential sources of interference, proactively, with automated notifications triggered by events, depending on configuration.
The following messages are supported:
- PN-RTA
- SNMP
- Relay

MORE BANDWIDTH FOR HETEROGENEOUS/CONVERGING NETWORKS - BUT HOW?
Due to the higher data traffic volume, heterogeneous or converging networks require more bandwidth. There are two main approaches to increasing usable bandwidth in industrial environments:
The following messages are supported:
≫ Increase the actual bandwidth (Gigabit communication)
By increasing the data speed to 1 gbit / s or more
Note: Devices, applications, and cables must be Gigabit capable
≫ Increase in usable bandwidth (TSN communication)
Through improved real-time communication and data prioritization
Note: Devices and applications must be TSN compliant
