COMbricks - busmonitor in PROFIBUS repeaters

COMbricksPROCENTEC has launched COMbricks™ - The first PROFIBUS and PROFINET-based automation system that unites repeaters and permanent monitoring with ProfiTrace.

After maintaining the technological lead for many years with ProfiTrace as the preferred PROFIBUS troubleshooting tool by users and competence centers, PROCENTEC introduces another innovation; ProfiTrace integrated in repeaters.

A powerful feature of COMbricks is permanent and simultaneous monitoring of 4 PROFIBUS networks. Global projects and a shortage of technical staff members are causing significant capacity problems. COMbricks offers a solution by remotely monitoring PROFIBUS installations over Ethernet and alerting the user by email.

An integrated web server with a ProfiTrace shell visualises information in an understandable format. 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 the busmonitor in the network components. Deploying COMbricks repeaters for regular automation means an automatic availability of ProfiTrace.
