PROFINET Condition Monitoring & Predictive Maintenance

Free US support  •  Ships from Atlanta

Tools for continuous PROFINET monitoring that watch network health around the clock, so you catch problems before they cause downtime. Permanently installed and fully passive, they analyze RT and IRT traffic for network load, packet gaps, 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 PROFINET networks 24/7 for predictive maintenance
• Get early warning of rising network load, packet gaps, and device dropouts
• 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.

How Permanent Monitoring Works

1. Install the PROFINET-INspektor® NT permanently. Through a permanent measuring point such as the PNMA II, it measures load, packet gaps, jitter, and per-device quality around the clock, passive and feedback-free. Its active scan also captures and documents the network topology for PROscan Active and PROmanage NT.
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. Wire alarms into your machine control. Warning-before-failure alarms fire on error frames, netload spikes, device diagnoses, and failures, and route through a potential-free contact, relay, SNMP trap, or email straight into the HMI alarm list, so maintenance steps in before production stops.
