Sinema Server V12 software can monitor 500 components per station or up to 50,000 clients. The software continuously monitors Ethernet and Profinet networks. All physical port level connections, as well as machine- or application-specific network configurations, are displayed. Any malfunction in the network is flagged for quick fault identification and removal. Connected components are automatically identified via SNMP and Profinet devices via Device Control Protocol (DCP). The diagnostics function provides and documents name, device type, serial number, product-specific status configuration and identification data. Alarm threshold values for a specific device can be defined.
