PROmanage® NT V2- Monitoring software | PROFIBUS and PROFINET - Network monitoring

Infrastructure-related bottlenecks, gradual component aging, and wear from the production environment create network degradation that often goes undetected until a failure occurs. PROmanage® NT V2 is centralized network monitoring software that aggregates condition data from multiple fieldbuses and Industrial Ethernet networks into a single interface, providing continuous visibility into network health across PROFINET, PROFIBUS, EtherNet/IP, ASi, CAN, and standard Industrial Ethernet — without requiring additional monitoring hardware for basic Ethernet-based network oversight. When combined with INspektor® data collectors and PROmesh diagnostic switches, PROmanage® NT V2 extends monitoring coverage to all supported fieldbus protocols with per-device quality parameter tracking, threshold-based alerting, and up to one year of historical data retention.

Scalable licensing covers installations from small single-network deployments to large multi-network facilities, with license options available from 16 ports up to 2,080 ports.

Key Features
Multi-Protocol Network Monitoring: Centralizes condition data from PROFINET, PROFIBUS, EtherNet/IP, ASi, CAN, and Industrial Ethernet networks in a single interface, supporting mixed-protocol facilities without separate monitoring tools per protocol.

One-Minute Data Polling: Queries port statistics from managed switches and quality data from INspektor® units at one-minute intervals, providing granular resolution for detecting gradual degradation trends and short-duration anomalies.

Network Chronicle and Status History: Displays a time-based overview of network health using traffic light color coding, with a complete event log of threshold exceedances, device failures, and abnormalities — each with a precise timestamp and event description.

Threshold-Based Alarm Management: Configurable threshold values for each monitored network parameter trigger automatic event log entries and alarm forwarding via email, messaging services, OPC, or SNMP when limit values are reached.

Performance Analysis with State Graph: Displays multiple network parameters from different devices on a single comparative graph, enabling correlation of events such as device temperature trends against communication error rates for root cause analysis.

Central Topology Acquisition: Continuously records network topology changes including device additions, removals, and port reassignments, providing a current and historical picture of network structure alongside condition data.

Historical Data Retention: Stores network condition data at one-minute resolution for up to one year, enabling retrospective analysis of sporadic failures and long-term degradation trends at any point in time.

Flexible Hardware Compatibility: Operates without additional hardware for basic Industrial Ethernet monitoring, and integrates with INspektor® NT units for PROFINET, PROFIBUS, EtherNet/IP, ASi, and CAN monitoring, as well as PROmesh P-series switches for integrated line diagnostics and EMC monitoring data.

Scalable Licensing: Available in license tiers from 16 ports to 2,080 ports, with upgrade paths available as monitoring requirements grow. Compatible with third-party managed industrial switches in addition to PROmesh series hardware.

Common Applications
Centralized condition monitoring across multiple PROFINET or mixed-protocol networks in manufacturing facilities where a single software interface needs to aggregate data from distributed INspektor® units and managed switches.

Predictive maintenance programs where one-minute resolution historical data and threshold alerting allow maintenance teams to identify developing network issues and schedule intervention before unplanned downtime occurs.

Root cause analysis of sporadic or intermittent network failures where correlating timestamped events across multiple devices and parameters reveals patterns not visible through on-demand diagnostic tools alone.

Large facilities or multi-line installations where scalable port-based licensing allows monitoring coverage to expand incrementally as additional network segments and devices are brought under centralized oversight.
