PROscan® Active V2 software basic licence | PROFINET - Ethernet topology, diagnostic and monitoring software

Maintaining an accurate picture of a live PROFINET or Industrial Ethernet network topology is a persistent challenge in production environments where devices are added, moved, or replaced over time. PROscan® Active V2 is topology scanning and documentation software that captures the actual network structure on demand, displaying all connected devices, port-level connections, cable lengths, and quality parameters in a clear visual topology map. When paired with the PROFINET-INspektor® NT, quality parameters from the INspektor® are automatically overlaid on the topology view, providing a combined picture of network structure and communication health in a single interface.

Multiple licenses allow installation across several machines, enabling topology capture and network data recording at each machine independently.

Key Features
Live Topology Detection: Scans and displays the actual network structure of any connected PROFINET or Industrial Ethernet network on demand, showing all devices, connections, and port-level relationships as a visual topology map.

Comprehensive Device Information: Captures and displays PROFINET device names, IP and MAC addresses, hardware and software versions, device type and name, and order numbers for every detected network device.

Cable and Port Information: Records line lengths, power budget for POF fiber connections, and port-level discard and error statistics for each detected connection, supporting both copper and fiber installations.

Traffic Light Quality Display: When used with the PROFINET-INspektor® NT, quality parameters are assigned to each device and displayed in traffic light color coding on the topology map for immediate status assessment.

Compare Scan: Compares current network topology against a previously saved scan and highlights all changes in traffic light colors, providing instant visibility into topology modifications since the last documented state.

Hardware/Software Version Comparison: Compares detected hardware and software versions against a reference scan and generates warnings for any deviations, supporting firmware change management and version control.

Acceptance Report: Generates a transparent acceptance report in checklist format with pass/fail results for each verification item, supporting commissioning documentation. Custom company logos can be included for customer-facing deliverables.

Multi-Topology Support: Multiple topology files can be opened simultaneously, allowing comparison or documentation of several network segments within a single session.

Touch Panel Optimized Interface: Interface is designed for use on HMI and Panel PC touch displays as well as standard workstations, supporting deployment in both office and production floor environments.

Export Options: Topology data exportable as PDF technical drawing, CSV, or Topo file for use in documentation packages, maintenance records, and engineering archives.

Common Applications
Commissioning documentation and network acceptance testing where a verified topology record, device inventory, and pass/fail acceptance report are required as part of project handover.

Troubleshooting PROFINET communication issues where identifying topology structure, device connectivity, and port-level error counts helps isolate the source of network problems.

Ongoing network documentation maintenance in production facilities where topology changes from device replacements, additions, or reconfigurations need to be tracked and recorded over time.

OT security audits and asset management where an accurate, current inventory of all network devices including firmware versions and IP addresses is required.
