September 2012 - Trebing + Himstedt enhances TH LINK network diagnostics. Enahncements include the automatic identification of installed yet not actively communicating stations, support of several IP address ranges and the optimization of the user interface.
The TH LINK diagnostics tool provides low-resource monitoring of Industrial Ethernet networks without the need of additional engineering thus saving significant costs for the user. An integrated web server provides information “on-demand” of network and device status via web browser eliminating the need for software installation.
The neatly arranged and “easy to understand” display of key information on network availability enables rapid response to failures. Potential network issues can be identified early – both during commissioning and during daily operation – and targeted action can be taken based on specific troubleshooting recommendations. A detailed list of all devices in the network provides the means to document a plant or facility with little effort and at any point in its life cycle easily identifying faulty installations or configurations.
