iSNMP Suite provides valuable insight into the performance of a variety of industrial control system networks. The controllers, software and plant control network make up a modern control system. The entire system can become unreliable without stable performance from all three components. With iSNMP Suite you can monitor and analyze your plant Ethernet-based network from within your existing HMI package and never have to rely on blind faith that the network is performing to specifications.
Real-time Network Analysis
Raw SNMP network data can be difficult to interpret. For the automobile user, a speedometer can convert the raw number of revolutions of the tires of a car into a more meaningful statistic: speed. iSNMP Network Analyst provides a similar service to the industrial Ethernet network user. iSNMP Suite Network Analyst gathers raw SNMP data from the network devices and continually performs calculations to generate data that can be used, such as bandwidth utilization and network error rate statistics. Additionally, iSNMP Network Analyst can offer the user a simple green light/ yellow light/ red light status tag for network devices. The HMI user can then easily summarize the health of their network devices with a simple inclusion of the device status tag.
Power Supply Management
Uninterruptible power supplies have become necessary to ensure maximum uptime and protect powered network equipment from power surges. Most UPSs have embedded microprocessors and are capable of reporting their status and operating mode information via SNMP. With iSNMP Suite, operators can integrate UPS status into their HMI databases. Now when a battery needs replacement, or a UPS trips, you can have immediate notification in your HMI.
Unmanaged Device Monitoring
Not all Ethernet network devices are SNMP managed. To help monitor any system from within your HMI, iSNMP auto-discovers both managed and unmanaged network devices. iSNMP automatically generates OPC tags for each device that represent "heartbeat" and response time.
IndustrialSNMP Suite is protected by U.S. Patent No. 6,728,262.
