ProfiTrace
Do you need a constant PC connection to monitor the network?
NO, This is a great feature for permanent monitoring. ComBricks contains a kernel and web server that works
independently directly after power-up. Updates of the Live List, Statistics, Logging, Emailing, etc. are all carried
out on its own initiative and can always be viewed.
Do I need to install/buy monitoring software?
NO, ComBricks is based on a web server. For the basic operation you only need a web browser. But if you are
used to the ProfiTrace 2 software, you can stream data over Ethernet and keep working in your original
software environment.
What is the difference between ProfiTrace OE and regular ProfiTrace?
OE stands for "Over Ethernet". It is the ProfiTrace core in ComBricks which visualizes all the information in a
web server. The biggest difference is that ProfiTrace OE is permanently monitoring the installation and it does
not require a constant PC connection.
Where does it save monitoring data, logs and settings?
The Head Station contains a uSD card on which all information is stored. By means of the web server or FTP the
user can inspect and download the information. He can of course also take out the SD card and insert it in a PC.
What is 'live data streaming' with ProfiTrace 2?
Head Stations 1B and 1C have an integrated ProfiTrace that can be accessed with a web browser. The
integrated ProfiTrace has some graphical and functional limitations compared to the powerful ProfiTrace 2
software. Live data streaming is a function within ProfiTrace that makes a connection with ComBricks over
Ethernet and acts as if it works with a ProfiCore. The user can now use all the functionality of ProfiTrace 2 with
the protocol data of 2 or 4 networks that ComBricks is capturing (Live List, statistics, message recording,
triggering, searching, etc).
We already have repeaters installed. How can we take advantage of ComBricks without disturbing the
existing network?
You can connect 1 channel of a ComBricks repeater module as a regular bus participant. Like a ProfiCore and
ignoring the repeater functionality. Once a repeater channel is in contact with the cable/communication,
ProfiTrace monitors telegrams.
How many files does the automatic message recording triggering save?
The automatic triggering saves 1000 files per network. Each file has its own name. When a new trigger takes
place after 1000 files have already been saved, the oldest file is replaced by the new one (ring recording).
