Tools

The sercos Monitor allows a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the data traffic in sercos III networks. The tool is based on the WinPcap interface and allows both retroactive evaluation of stored network records in the pcap file format, as well as analysis of the network traffic in real time.

A user-friendly interface and overview functions for the typical features of a sercos III network, such as topology, communications phases and service channel transmission, enable a fast and targeted launch of the analysis process. Experienced users are additionally provided with comprehensive protocol and analysis functions. Different views and filter mechanisms allow the customized evaluation of sercos III real time telegrams and other Ethernet telegrams based on the individual requirements of the user. Users can also add further functions to the sercos Monitor via user-specific plug-ins, if needed.

System requirements: Windows XP or Windows 7, .NET Framework V4.0., WinPcap V4.1.2
