Network Monitoring

Description

The communications infrastructure monitoring system integrated in the netIOT edge gateway enables the overall structure of an installation to be kept under observation. Any errors can be centrally detected and recorded, so that a critical case can be reacted to as quickly and effectively as possible. Gradually emerging effects also become apparent as a result of the continuous automatic monitoring, so that the user has enough time to act before the communications infrastructure fails. A higher availability and a shorter downtime in a critical case can be achieved thereby.

The infrastructure monitoring automatically collects all important readings from the entire network, such as lists of participants, network loads, telegram errors, firmware versions, order numbers. Finally, can thus be achieved a higher level of availability and in serious cases even shorter downtime. The infrastructure monitoring automatically collects all important readings from the entire network, such as Lists of participants, network loads, telegram errors, firmware versions, order numbers. When commissioning the system configuration can be learned automatically. During operation, then the current state values are autonomously adjusted in the netIOT Edge Gateway. When exceeding an alarm threshold or in the detection of a fault condition defined persons are automatically informed. These fault conditions can be accessed through a web interface on the visualized data and allow to identify the source of errors quickly in this way. Conspicuous devices are automatically highlighted in color in the graphical topology map. The Web based access is handled by HTML5 to ensure that informationen can be seen from any device like tablet, smartphone or PC. The security features integrated in the netIOT Edge Gateway makes sure that only authorized access is possible.

The recorded measured data can be centrally collected and connected from a large number of distributed measuring points through the integrated connection to the Cloud. As a result, the system can also be scaled up to larger system configurations. The communications infrastructure becomes an integral part of an industry 4.0 or IoT application through the Cloud connection and the associated option of linking the infrastructure data to other data or processes.
