Industrial Ethernet Network Diagnostics Independent from Controller and Control Room
The TH LINK Industrial Ethernet diagnostics tool makes use of a controller-independent access to monitor PROFINET, EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP networks. The diagnostic data is collected in networks comprising up to 254 nodes, and made available to users through the TH SCOPE software application. TH LINK Industrial Ethernet is easy to use and can be integrated without interfering with the operation of existing installations.
Overview
Independent Access to PROFINET, EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP Networks
• - Controller-independent
• - Independent of configuration tools
• - Only one tool needed to monitor multiple IP subnetworks (up to 254 nodes, one or more controllers
Designed for Installation without Interference with Plant Operation
• - Connection to free port in industrial network, also possible during operation of the plant
• - No need to install TAPs or use mirror ports
• - Highest security (separate accesses for control room level and plant level, no routing)
• - Easy integration into existing plants thanks to compact design
Powerful Data Collection Capabilities Optimized for Ethernet-Based Industrial Communication
• - Support of the PROFINET, EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP protocols
• - Collection also from standard Ethernet devices (e.g. PCs or camera systems)
• - PROFINET supervisor in PROFINET networks
• - Network load limit according to PROFINET guidelines
• - Integration of inventory data into monitoring tools and process control systems via OPC UA
Optimized for Use by Maintenance Engineers
• - Suitable for network acceptance testing, continuous monitoring and troubleshooting
