PROCENTEC is taking diagnostics to the next level. The new EtherTAP monitoring interface is the bridge to the Osiris functionality on our portable Mercury tablet and permanent Atlas module. Both devices run on diagnostics platform Osiris to analyse the information feed from the EtherTAP. This enables our build-in assistant Delphi to come up with a solution to help you to quickly and effectively get your operations running again.
Passive diagnostics
Cycle time per device
Positive and negative message jitter
Number of dropped packets
Alarm triggers
The EtherTAP – Message Analysis feature allows you to do deep analysis of PROFINET traffic by placing an EtherTAP between devices exchanging PROFINET traffic (usually between a Controller and the first switch).
To make tapping available make sure you have:
A correct license
An EtherTAP placed between two devices communicating over PROFINET
A running measurement
Network overview and device details
When you click the tile on the Dashboard you can read out four types of data:
The cycle time per device
PROFINET devices send data on a very periodic basis, these are called cycle times. Cycle times are defined in milliseconds.
