It only takes 30 minutes to learn how to prevent future PROFIBUS failures. Don’t believe us? In this Automation Explained episode we will introduce you to 4 key indicators that you will encounter on PROFIBUS networks. Whether they are syncs, repeats, illegals or lost messages; become an expert on the factory floor, identify these indicators and know their role within the “PROCENTEC Troubleshooting Process®”.
In the third episode of “Automation Explained”, we will take a closer look at optimising operational efficiency in PROFIBUS networks using alarm customisation.
A professional design is the fundament of a reliable network with the highest uptime. But what are the key factors to take into account when designing a PROFIBUS network? If you are considering training in this area, our introductory webinar will help you get started...
Fieldbus users in many industries need to guarantee high system availability in the most vital areas of their plants. With only one cable for data transmission, all it takes is a single point of failure to disrupt an entire system. Implementing redundancy enables you to strengthen the backbone of your operations and reduce the risk of a network outage.
When it comes to fault-finding, analysing a network can take a technician several days with no diagnostic solution, multiple hours with a mobile diagnostic tool, and up to 45 minutes with a permanent monitoring system. With the SNAP Hero Kit, you will be able to slash that time to 2 minutes or less; a true time saver that directly guides engineers to the best repair path!
Certification plays an important role in quality control and provides peace of mind for end users. It ensures conformity with standards and underpins operational performance and interoperability. It also ensures freedom of choice of supply. Uncertified devices can cause malfunctions in your PROFIBUS networks, with the huge risk of downtime and a time-consuming search for the source of the issue.
In this webinar we will introduce ComBricks, our 24/7 monitoring tool, and show you how you can use it to segment your network to make it more robust, allowing you to take control of your network. We will go through the features and functionality of ComBricks that allow you to monitor your network and enabling predictive maintenance .
The class 2 master is the device that acts as a supervisor for your entire system and is considered a must-have tool for any technician working on PROFIBUS networks. Understanding the main uses and functionalities is very important, as you occasionally need the class 2 master during commissioning, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
Ever spent several days replacing cables and connectors trying to fix a fault? Get a full insight into your network and find the fault with one single tool. Since the very beginning, Procentec’s ProfiTrace has been an essential mobile toolkit for maintaining and troubleshooting PROFIBUS networks.
During this difficult time period many companies are being forced to work with a limited work force, increasing the risk of downtime and network failure. Procentec is committed to supporting you and help keep your networks running 24/7. For this reason, we have decided to share our top 10 best tips for maintaining and troubleshooting PROFIBUS networks.
Did you know that PROFIBUS PA was originally designed as an improvement and replacement for conventional systems such as 4-20 mA and HART in process automation? Now it is one of two fieldbus systems that are accepted in the process industry, particularly suitable for explosive or hazardous environments (oil, gas, chemicals etc.).
In the fourth episode of “Automation Explained”, we will look at Parameter & Configuration errors in industrial networks. These types of errors are typically faced during specific phases of your project and encountering them means that your network will not run. Additionally, in some cases, it also means your network is vulnerable to attacks.
Port Load, In/Out Errors, Dropped Packets & Jitter – 4 key indicators you should know about to provide extra value to your company and to yourself. In this Automation Explained episode we will tell you all about these indicators and within 30 minutes tops, you will know their meaning, why they are important and how to measure and monitor them.
In the third episode of “Automation Explained”, we will take a closer look at optimising operational efficiency in PROFINET networks using alarm customisation.
One great advantage of PROFINET is that it offers a variety of network topologies. Did you know that ring topologies are becoming more common in the industry as they establish redundancy and increase the reliability of your network? However, there are important factors to consider to ensure a proper ring topology.
Certification plays an important role in quality control and provides peace of mind for end users. It ensures conformity with standards and underpins operational performance and interoperability. It also ensures freedom of choice of supply. Besides that, certification is even mandatory for PROFINET products.
During this webinar we will give you an in-depth explanation on how to monitor and troubleshoot your industrial network using the most powerful tool available, Osiris.

Companies are facing the biggest challenges in history when it comes to industrial cybersecurity. In 2021 alone, there have been multiple major cyberattacks that were linked to unsecured OT networks. All the industry reports show a substantial growth in the number of OT/IT threats, causing not only economic but also social and political harm.
Ever wondered what kind of industrial communication protocols are out there? What are their similarities or differences? For instance: do Industrial Ethernet protocols differ a lot from Industrial Serial protocols?
One great advantage of EtherNet/IP is that it offers a variety of network topologies. Did you know that ring topologies are becoming more common in the industry as they establish redundancy and increase the reliability of your network? However, there are important factors to consider to ensure a proper ring topology.
EtherNet/IP is one of the most preferred Ethernet networks in the market worldwide. This flexible industrial protocol stands out in compatibility and aligns perfectly with the concept of Industry 4.0. Are you new to EtherNet/IP or would like to refresh your knowledge? In this 1-hour session (including Q&A), our Support Engineer will provide you the basics for understanding, maintaining, and improving your EtherNet/IP network.
