3 Overview
The ETHERLINE® GUARD can be used to monitor
Ethernet-based data lines with a transmission speed
of 100Mbit/s (100Base-TX). The ETHERLINE®
GUARD is looped into the cable harness and can
provide information about the quality of the cable
connection via a separate network connection (LAN
or WiFi) or via a digital output.
Benefit:
•
Increased plant availability due to plannable downtimes
→
Reduction of maintenance costs
•
Simple commissioning with automated parameterisation ("teach-in" in a few seconds)
•
Requires no new data line or changes to the cable design; retrofit into the existing network structure is
possible at any time
•
Reliable IIoT communication thanks to MQTT interface
Fields of application:
•
For monitoring the service life of a data line at risk of failure (e.g. function-critical data line in dynamic
or mechanically loaded applications).
•
Suitable for data lines according to transmission standard 100BASE-TX (with 100 Mbit/s) according to
IEEE 802.3
•
Also suitable for EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP and 2-pair PROFINET applications
•
For use in the control cabinet (protection class IP 20)
•
Space-saving due to uniquely compact design
•
For use in Ethernet-based networks in automation technology
Features:
•
Feedback of the expected service life via LED display "STATUS", via the web server or via digital
output.
•
Threshold value for alarm triggering individually adjustable (service life 99 - 50%).
•
Can be integrated into IIoT structures for status/data evaluation via MQTT interface
•
WiFi connection as access point (AP) for mobile access or as client in a WLAN network
Versions:
•
ETHERLINE® GUARD PM03T, LAN connection
•
ETHERLINE® GUARD PM02TWA, WiFi connection
