Overview

eNetMeter
™
DN is a passive device that continuously
monitors a DeviceNet network and sends the information over Ethernet to a PLC
or PC monitoring system. The information can be read directly by an
EtherNet/IP
or PC monitoring system. The information can be read directly by an
EtherNet/IP
™
master. Optionally, data can be accessed through
BradCommunications NetAlytix
™
software, a DLL interface or an OPC server.
eNetMeter DN provides extremely accurate measurements of the network
parameters using high-speed sampling. By comparing acceptable baseline
measurements of a “good” network, it can predict imminent failures down to
individual devices. Measurements can be used in such a way, that when an OPC
status tag is analyzed and is found to be outside the acceptable limits, steps can
be taken to repair the system prior to any downtime.
eNetMeter DN can be used to diagnose current faults on a non-functioning
network through the measurement of hundreds of network parameters. This can
minimize downtime by pinpointing the node or location of the fault. The data can
also be stored to historian software for future analysis. This is useful for
companies typically involved with batching applications including pharmaceutical,
food & beverage. If a problem occurs with a specific batch, the historical data can
be viewed to see if any network problems occurred during the same time frame.
This allows the company to then make any necessary adjustments to prevent re-
occurrences from happening in the future.
