Condition Monitoring for Industrial OT Networks
Stable and reliable operation is the highest priority for industrial plants. Although it may seem simple, it becomes a challenge for operators and maintenance personnel. Most faults can be detected early with the right tools and knowledge, provided that a permanent diagnostic or monitoring system (permanent network monitoring, PNM) is installed in the plant network. Condition monitoring, also called "Condition Monitoring", involves the collection of all network traffic for analysis, troubleshooting and notifications when threshold values are exceeded.

It might feel different at first, but permanent network monitoring (in short: PNM) has many possible implementations. You can use a network monitoring system that can be expanded at any time based on your needs and budget.
Monitoring solutions begin at a single analysis data collector, such as the PROFINET-INspektor® NT or a PROmesh switch with integrated diagnosis function. Any number of additional data collectors can be used depending on system type, network structure, and requirements. Since these devices were also designed for independent operation, they often come with dedicated web-based monitoring applications. This, or manual reading of long-term data stored on the device, permits detailed evaluation at any time.
Operators of complex or multiple systems can centralise and partially automate professional condition monitoring via the PROmanage NT network monitoring software. Stay informed about critical events automatically on top of using evaluation, thorough analysis, and long-term storage of status data of your fieldbuses and industrial Ethernet networks.
