  • Page 49 Web interface and selection functions Action type E-mail: This action type allows to initiate the sending of an email by the PROFINET-INspektor® NT in case of an alarm. The prerequisites for this are a valid recipient address, the IP address of the email server, an existing Ethernet connection between the device and the server and a correct configuration of the email connection.
  • Page 50 Web interface and selection functions Action type Switching contact By triggering this action, the external switching contact of the PN Inspector NT can be activated, for example, to display a visualisation of the system status via traffic lights. Topology scan action type By using the Topology scan action type, an event-related topology scan of the network is started via the PN-INspektor NT when a trigger condition is triggered.
  • Page 51 Web interface and selection functions 1. Action name The MQTT notification action must be assigned a unique action name for subsequent linking with trigger conditions. 2. Selection of a connection In order to establish an MQTT communication between a client and a broker, the corresponding connection between both components must first be configured.
  • Page 52 Web interface and selection functions 3. Specifying the topic ® With each MQTT message, the client (PN-INspektor NT) sends messages with a topic to the MQTT server ("broker") after establishing a connection. Other clients in turn can subscribe to these topics, whereby the server forwards the received messages to the corresponding subscribers.

  • Page 58: Explanation Of Terms

    Explanation of terms 4 Explanation of terms 4.1 PROFINET quality parameters Bus node failures In PROFINET node failures are diagnosed by means of the watchdog time of the controller or the node itself. This is determined by the set update time between the controller and node, as well as the number of accepted update cycles with missing I/O data.

  • Page 59: Controller Transmit Clock

    Explanation of terms Controller Transmit clock This is the period between two consecutive intervals for IRT or RT communication. The transmit clock is the smallest possible transmission interval for data exchange. The calculated update times are a multiple of the transmission rate.

  • Page 60: Data Throughput

    Explanation of terms Data throughput The term data throughput in PROFINET refers to the amount of data per time unit that can be processed by the respective control (related to the process image). 4.2 Trigger types Threshold-dependent trigger parameters Often triggers are to be triggered and associated actions initiated as soon as certain quality criteria of the network have been exceeded or fallen short of.

  • Page 61: Frame Flood

    Explanation of terms Frame flood Within the defined update times, there is usually no continuous data exchange within this time window, but peak loads often occur, which can also lead to disruptions of the telegram traffic. Such transients can be detected by selecting this trigger type.

  • Page 62: Topology

    Explanation of terms Topology In many applications, an automatically created topology can provide valuable information about current changes in the network structure. The trigger type "Topology" is used to report messages about newly added or deleted participants in comparison to the defined reference topology (see 3.1.4 Node overview).

  • Page 63: Broadcast Telegrams

    Explanation of terms Broadcast telegrams A broadcast telegram is a message in which data packets are transmitted to all nodes of a communication network from one point. The term “broadcast telegrams” refers to the number of telegrams that have to be received by all nodes.
