TURCK has released the PB-XEPI Ethernet PROFIBUS device coupler, which combines integrated web server software with diagnostic functionality enabling users to monitor Profibus networks remotely through a web browser.
According to Turck, users can monitor the Profibus network without disrupting network operations.
The PB-XEPI may be integrated into new or existing PROFIBUS networks in pharmaceutical, food and beverage, and packaging applications.
Through an internet connection, users can employ the PB-XEPI to monitor and configure applications while maintaining network communications.
The PB-XEPI can identify any malfunctions in the network and send an error message via e-mail that includes a link to the device, empowering users to directly access the interface, Turck claims.
