Permanent monitoring with the PROFINET-INspektor® NT

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.

The PROmesh P24+ is a full-managed Industrial Ethernet and PROFINET switch that combines high-performance networking with extensive diagnostic and security functions. Designed for industrial environments, it supports data rates of up to 10 Gbit/s and provides reliable communication for up to 24 lines.

The integrated diagnostics make network conditions transparent at all times:

• Line diagnostics monitor cable quality continuously.

• Port statistics provide detailed insights into errors, discards, load (per ms or s) and neighboring devices.

• Environmental monitoring detects leakage current, vibration, light or humidity.

• Port mirroring and customizable triggers allow targeted alarms on the web interface, in the system or directly on mobile devices.

Beyond diagnostics, PROmesh P24+ enhances network security and flexibility:

• Security features: Integrated firewall, ACLs and NAT routing enable access control and support PROFINET Security Level 1 and IEC 62443 concepts.

• Flexible connectivity: 20 RJ45 ports and 4 SFP slots allow copper or fiber optic connections.

• Robust design: Compact metal housing, DIN rail mounting and extended operating temperature range (–40 °C to +75 °C).

• Certifications: CE, UKCA, UL/CSA and PROFINET v2.4.

With its combination of high-speed performance, permanent monitoring and advanced security functions, the PROmesh P24+ provides a transparent, secure and stable foundation for modern industrial networks.

The PROFINET Agent Blond enables precise diagnostics during commissioning and service by generating additional insights into PROFINET communication quality where conventional PLC diagnostics reach their limits. Acting as an intelligent Test Access Point (TAP), Agent Blond monitors communication between controller and devices, detecting and counting telegram gaps and other irregularities on a participant-specific level.

Agent Blond can be seamlessly integrated into the PLC configuration. Diagnostic information is available directly in the PLC buffer or can be displayed on an HMI when required, making it simple and efficient to use without complex setup.

The PROFINET Agent Blond offers significant advantages:

• During commissioning: Provides reliable communication diagnostics for function and quality tests, reducing time, cost and frustration caused by non-reproducible issues.

• During service: Supplies technicians with remote diagnostic data in advance, enabling targeted troubleshooting and reducing downtime.

By simplifying error detection in PROFINET networks, the Agent Blond quickly pays off through minimized troubleshooting efforts and optimized service operations.

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.
