Permanent Monitoring (PROFINET)
PROFINET is an Ethernet-based communication protocol that supports high-speed data exchange and is widely used in industrial environments for connecting various devices such as Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), sensors, and actuators.
Streamline Automation with PROFINET Monitoring
PROFINET Permanent Monitoring involves continuous, real-time oversight of a PROFINET network, ensuring seamless operation in industrial automation and control systems. By delivering actionable data, it helps optimise performance, improve system stability, and address issues proactively.
Continuous Observation
Provides ongoing visibility into the network status and connected devices, ensuring the system is under watch.
Centralised Management
Integrates with network management systems or software tools that provide a centralised view of the network’s health and performance.
Configuration and Control
May include capabilities for network configuration and control, allowing for adjustments and optimisations based on monitoring data.
Live Data
Displays real-time data on network performance, communication traffic, and device status.
Troubleshooting Tools
Offers tools and features for diagnosing problems quickly, reducing downtime and facilitating efficient maintenance.
Performance Metrics
Monitors key performance indicators like network load, response times, and data throughput.
Historical Data
Logs historical data related to network performance, errors, and events, which can be analysed to identify trends.
Reports
Generates reports for further analysis, helping with long-term planning and network optimisation.
