1.5 ProfiTrace OE - Remote monitoring in a web browser
Permanent and simultaneous monitoring of 4 PROFIBUS networks is a powerful feature of ComBricks. Global
projects and a shortage of (qualified) technical staff members are causing significant capacity problems.
ComBricks offers a solution by remotely monitoring PROFIBUS installations over the Internet and alerting the
user by email.
The user can simply connect surrounding PROFIBUS networks and every network can be set to a unique
baudrate. The modular technology of ComBricks enables the network to be monitored when multiple repeater
modules are installed. All transparent messages from the backplane are constantly analysed.
Up to 10 Repeater modules with 2 channels each (20 galvanic isolated segments in total) can be inserted into
the backplane. Using DIP switches or the web server, repeater modules can be assigned to a network group.
This ensures isolated communication from the repeaters which are assigned to other network groups; the
networks are not combined or connected in any way. Only the Head Station can see all networks groups.
1.5.1 Web server
A web server with a ProfiTrace shell visualizes the information in an understandable format (ProfiTrace OE).
Because of the web browser, additional software is NOT required and a constant connection with a PC to the
ComBricks is NOT necessary.
The monitoring and logging is performed by the repeater modules which are inserted in the backplane.
ComBricks is the first system that has integrated a busmonitor in network components. Deploying ComBricks
repeaters for regular automation means automatic availability of ProfiTrace OE.
