Description
EtherNet/IP Network Diagnostics Independent from Controller and Control Room
The TH LINK EtherNet/IP diagnostics tool makes use of a controller-independent access to monitor EtherNet/IP networks. The diagnostic data is collected in networks comprising up to 254 nodes, and made available to users through the TH SCOPE software application. TH LINK EtherNet/IP is easy to use and can be integrated without interfering with the operation of existing installations.
