eNetMeter DN provides extremely accurate measurements of the network

parameters using high-speed sampling. By comparing acceptable baseline

measurements of a “good” network, it can predict imminent failures down to

individual devices. Measurements can be used in such a way, that when an OPC

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. This is useful for

companies typically involved with batching applications including pharmaceutical,

food & beverage. If a problem occurs with a specific batch, the historical data can

be viewed to see if any network problems occurred during the same time frame.

This allows the company to then make any necessary adjustments to prevent re-

occurrences from happening in the future.
