Infrastructure-related bottlenecks, gradual deterioration due to component aging, or wear caused by the production environment lead to (initially invisible) impairment of your machine and system networks. The PROmanage® NT V2 network management software (NMS) warns of the first abnormalities at an early stage, permitting planned maintenance and minimising avoidable system failures.

The D*Bridge diegitalization bridge enables OT security to be ensured in a convergent network that interconnects different fieldbuses by exchanging only relevant data between machines and ensuring communication to the SCADA level. The D*Bridge automatically detects the existing fieldbuses and adapts to the network structure without the need for complex configuration.

The D*Bridge digitizing bridge is available in two variants:

• D*Bridge H is used for horizontal networking of fieldbuses on the store floor. This allows several fieldbuses to be connected to form a homogeneous and convergent OT network without having to change the network structure of the individual fieldbuses.
• D*Bridge V enables vertical connection to the IIT level. With D*Bridge V, smart sensor data can be efficiently collected from the store floor and made available to the SCADA level for interpretation and further processing without affecting the PLC.

The PROFINET-INspektor® NT is permanently integrated in the network and monitors permanently the logical telegram traffic during operation. The operator is acquainted with the current network status anytime and is able to take suitable action, before faults occur and the production comes to a halt.

The PROFINET-INspektor® NT as a silent observer creates pinpoint snapshots of events like utilisation rate, speed, data throughput, telegram jitter, repeat telegrams, error telegrams, device diagnosis, device failures and stores it for later evaluation. Thanks to a hardware-integrated web server the network status can be displayed without additional software on any PC, via internet browser. The collected network data are the basis for a preventive maintenance.

The sensor, called SIEDS, enables the measurement of ten crucial physical parameters that influence plant availability. The SIEDS combines sensor technology, data processing and network communication in a compact and robust IP65 housing.

This sensor detects and analyzes environmental conditions such as temperature, pressure, humidity, air quality, acceleration and acoustics. In addition, the SIEDS features intelligent alarm management that can be adapted to different industrial assets through teach mode. The SIEDS proves to be optimal in situations where multiple physical parameters indicate the possible failure of a critical asset, enabling targeted and timely maintenance.

The innovative PROmesh B8 compact, probably the smallest and most powerful managed switch of its kind, focuses on high performance, quality and reliable availability in limited space. It is ideal for a wide range of applications where space and flexibility are critical:

• Space-saving installation in any control cabinet.
• Direct use in machines, for example in robot arms, inking units of printing machines, autonomous transport systems (AGV), terminal boxes (decentralized networks) and more.
• Safe and convenient installation in control boxes, even in extensive systems.

The PROmesh B8 compact offers an optimal solution for demanding applications where efficiency, quality and space-saving integration are required.

In addition to PROmesh B8 compact, the PROmesh product family offers a wide range of managed and unmanaged switches with numerous features and configuration options to meet the demanding requirements of industrial environments.
