Web-Based PROFIBUS Monitoring
The xEPI 2 enables continuous, parallel monitoring of a high number of PROFIBUS networks.Any problems occurring in the PROFIBUS network are automatically identified and displayed. In addition, the xEPI 2 provides an automatic alert function, e.g. via email. To use this feature, the xEPI 2 is connected to the PROFIBUS network to be monitored as a "silent listener" without own station address.
The xEPI 2 functions as a network agent. Together with additional xEPI 2 units, it forms an intelligent diagnosis infrastructure. For maintenance staff, mechanical engineers or plant constructors, as well as external service providers, this innovative concept allows monitoring of faultless operation of the fieldbus and connected stations. In case of failures, it enables an effective and targeted reaction and troubleshooting.
With no special client software or licensing required, all these functionalities are quickly and easily available. Mobile service scenarios can also be optimally implemented. By using modern web technology, any provided diagnosis information can be easily integrated in third-party applications such as HMI, maintenance stations or Asset Management portals.
