Ethernet/PROFINET switch PROmesh P9 Managed Switch

Simple. Unique. Pioneering.

Industrial Ethernet Network diagnostics and leakage current monitoring combined in one!

The Indu-Sol Ethernet/PROFINET Switch PROmesh P9 is the first switch that is equipped for the increased performance requirements in the PROFINET and conforms to Conformance Class B as well as Netload Class III requirements. With its optimised shielding contacts in the RJ45 jacks and leakage current monitoring the switch has a high EMC resistance required in the industrial environment.

PROmesh P9 counts number of lost telegrams (discards) on the web interface
Highest network load resilience

Netload classes define the sturdiness of a device in regard of the intensity of the data traffic. The PROmesh P9 is certified for the highest netload class III which is the first time a switch with more than 4 ports fulfils these requirements. Therefore, the new switch is the foundation for a frictionless operation thanks to stable network communication.
Bandwidth management

Data traffic can be limited by adjustable thresholds in order to avoid network load peaks. Data above the maximum value is discarded.

In accordance with Conformance Class B

The PROmesh P9 has full PROFINET IO functionality and thus meets the usual requirements for PROFINET real-time communication in factory and process automation.

The functionality of PROFINET IO devices is divided in clear conformance classes. These summarise different minimum characteristics. For infrastructure components like switches the conformance class B is of special importance as it includes the fundamental PROFINET functionalities and therefore covers the requirements of 99% of all the PROFINET networks installed in the field.
Up to 4 queues per port

The Ethernet switch has a large buffer memory for telegrams, which can not be forwarded at the moment. Up to four queues are available per port.
Additional management functions
In addition to the PROFINET functionalities, you also have other management functions at your disposal such as Port Mirroring, SNTP and packet filter rules for prioritisation of packets.

Functions PROmesh P9

The integration of the Ethernet/PROFINET switch into the automation system (Step7, TIA Portal) with the help of an engineering tool enables you to perform comprehensive network diagnostics. In contrast to standard switches, the PROmesh P9, thanks to its features, supports a variety of necessary functionalities:

Sending of device diagnostics to the controller (PN-RTA)
Neighbourhood detection (LLDP)
Port-related network statistics (PDEV)
Network diagnostics via IT mechanisms (SNMP)
Higher availability thanks to ring redundancy (MRP)

Diagnosis function Ethernet/PROFINET switch PROmesh P9

Network utilisation with millisecond precision

In Industrial Ethernet networks, even briefest peaks in the network utilisation can lead to a malfunction in the data communication and thus cause faults. To properly detect these network peaks, the PROmesh series determines the network utilisation with millisecond precision and presents them graphically on the web interface or issues an appropriate alarm if exceeded.

Leakage current monitoring

Leakage current monitoring makes it possible to permanently record and evaluate the sum of all shielding currents of the Ethernet lines. The corresponding spectrum with the respective frequency components is specified for this in addition to the current value. Using this integrated function, the PROmesh series also offers mechanisms for detecting EMC faults or couplings in addition to the complete Industrial Ethernet diagnostics.
