BradCommunications[TM] Diagnostic Tools Expand to Include eNetMeter[TM].Monitor real-time network health to minimize downtime and predict imminent failures before they happen; remote monitoring (protocol) remote monitoring - (RMON) A network management protocol that allows network information to be gathered at a single computer. Whereas SNMP gathers network data from a single type of Management Information Base (MIB), RMON 1 defines nine additional MIBs that provide a allows for immediate response LISLE, Ill. -- Molex Incorporated (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :MOLX)(NASDAQ:MOLXA), announces the addition of the BradCommunications([TM]) eNetMeter([TM]) for DeviceNet to its line of diagnostic tools. The BradCommunications eNetMeter DN is a passive device that continuously monitors a DeviceNet network and sends the information over Ethernet to a PLC or PC monitoring system. The information can be read directly by an EtherNet/IP master. Optionally, data can be accessed through a DLL (1) See data link layer. (2) (Dynamic Link Library) An executable program module in Windows that performs one or more functions at runtime. DLLs are not launched by the user; they are called for by an executable program or by other DLLs. interface, an OPC server The introduction to this article provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject matter. Please help [ improve the introduction] to meet Wikipedia's layout standards. You can discuss the issue on the talk page. or the BradCommunications NetAlytix([TM]) software. NetAlytix is a PC-based software which provides an easy-to-use graphical display of network data. Instant flagging of errors and marginal conditions along with pop-up tips provide guidance on possible causes of errors and potential corrective action A corrective action is a change implemented to address a weakness identified in a management system. Normally corrective actions are instigated in response to a customer complaint, abnormal levels if internal nonconformity, nonconformities identified during an internal audit or . eNetMeter DN provides extremely accurate measurements of the network parameters using high-speed sampling. By comparing acceptable base measurements of a "good" network, it can help predict imminent failures down to individual devices. Measurements can be used in such a way, that when an OPC (1) (OpenGL Performance Characterization) A project group within GPC that manages OpenGL benchmarks. OPC endorses the Viewperf and GLperf benchmarks. Viewperf was created by IBM and OPC provides viewsets for it, which are combinations of tests using specific status tag is analyzed and is found to be outside the acceptable limits, steps can be taken to repair the system prior to any downtime. eNetMeter DN can be used to diagnose current faults on a non-functioning network through the measurement of hundreds of network parameters. This can minimize downtime by pinpointing the node or location of the fault. The data can also be stored to historian software for future analysis. Typical applications can be found in any industrial or commercial setting where DeviceNet networks are used, including automotive, petrochemical, food and beverage F&B is a common abbreviation in the United States and Commonwealth countries, including Hong Kong. F&B is typically the widely accepted abbreviation for "Food and Beverage," which is the sector/industry that specializes in the conceptualization, the making of, and delivery of foods. , material handling, forest products, mining and metals. Molex, through its Brad([R]) products, has always been on the forefront when introducing simulation and diagnostic solutions. Starting with the launch of the PICS Simulation([R]) software in 1987 and continuing with software tools for diagnosing and monitoring many industrial networks over the last 20 years. In recent years, BradCommunications([TM]) diagnostic tools for DeviceNet have been launched, including NetMeter([R]), PowerMonitor([R]) tee and software tools for SST SST: see airplane. ([TM]) DeviceNet interface cards. With this rich history in diagnostic offerings, Molex proudly announces the BradCommunications eNetMeter. Through its Brad([R]) product line, the company offers a complete line of solutions for DeviceNet and Industrial Ethernet Industrial Ethernet is the name given to the use of the Ethernet protocol in an industrial environment, for automation and production machine control. Until recently, a PLC (Programmable logic controller) would communicate with a slave machine using one of several possible networks which empower the industrial infrastructure including PC & PLC interfaces, gateways, diagnostic tools, simulation software Simulation software is based on the process of imitating a real phenomenon with a set of mathematical formulas. It is, essentially, a program that allows the user to observe an operation through simulation without actually running the program. , cabling, cordsets, connectors, receptacles, distribution boxes and I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output modules.
