-The Profinet module analyses Layer 2 Profinet packets as well as CM (Context Manager) frames via UDP. It lists all seen Profinet devices and controllers. For every device or controller all seen frames are shown, grouped by communication relations.
+PROFINET is an open Industrial Ethernet communication protocol, based on international standards. It is designed to exchange data between controllers and devices, mostly in manufacturing and/or automation environments. Since its introduction in the early 2000s, it has grown to become the most well-adopted Industrial Ethernet solution.
+Allegro Network Multimeter facilitates highly granular PROFINET monitoring and PROFINET troubleshooting in real-time and back in time. Packet-based analysis and statistics are available for communication relations, top talkers, bandwidth consumption, jitter, frames, PROFINET errors and alarms (PN-RT, PN-RTA and PNIO-CM).
+Allegro Packet’s incident engine allows for automatic reporting of PROFINET alarms and threshold based triggers to e-mail and syslog. Also PROFINET traffic recording and automated event-based PROFINET packet capturing is readily available to you in Allegro Network Multimeter.
