Monitoring Tools

EtherNet/IP Condition Monitoring & Predictive Maintenance

Free US support  •  Ships from Atlanta

Tools for continuous EtherNet/IP monitoring that watch network health around the clock, so you catch problems before they cause downtime. Permanently installed and fully passive, they track network load, update times, packet gaps and jitter, and device failures, then raise an alarm the moment something drifts out of range. Built for predictive maintenance on live production networks.

Use them to:

  • Supervise EtherNet/IP networks 24/7 for predictive maintenance
  • Get early warning of rising network load, packet gaps, and update-time drift
  • Support remote service and audits with logged trend and event data

What Continuous Monitoring Watches

Permanent monitoring turns the warning signs that usually precede downtime into alarms you can act on early, before a slow-building problem stops the line.

Network load and load ratio

Track netload and load ratio, and get alerted when load climbs toward the level that starves I/O.

Update times and jitter

Spot drift in update times and packet jitter before it turns into missed data.

Errors, gaps, and overtakes

Catch error frames, packet gaps, and packet overtakes that signal a struggling link.

Device failures and restarts

Get alarmed on device diagnoses, failures, and restarts that flag a failing node.

How Permanent Monitoring Works

  1. Install the EtherNet/IP-INspektor® NT permanently. Passive and feedback-free on the live network, it measures network load, update times, packet gaps, jitter, and per-device stats around the clock.
  2. Add PROmesh® managed switches. Build diagnostics into the infrastructure itself, with per-port network, cable, and EMC monitoring across the network.
  3. Centralize with PROmanage® NT V2. Aggregate every measuring point and switch into one dashboard with trends, history, and a clear network overview.
  4. Act on early warnings. Alarms fire on error frames, netload spikes, device failures, and unknown devices, so maintenance can step in before production stops.
