The PROmesh P10X brings innovative online cable diagnostics into the IP67 range of your systems and machines. Thereby is it possible to visualise the physical wear of your network cables permanently. This is achieved by a complex evaluation system that compares the current value of connected data cables with a target value corresponding to the cable length. The determined quality value ("Q-value") is clearly indicated per port.

Unlike known cable testers, the PROmesh P10X performs the cable diagnosis permanently and during ongoing system operation. This is made possible by the combination of a powerful industrial switch (IP67) with the innovative online cable diagnosis. Thanks to this permanent monitoring, critical cable conditions can be automatically detected and remedied by your maintenance department - before your system operation is impaired.

Performance monitoring
– Detect network load bottlenecks

Since data traffic varies at different points in your industrial network, it is advisable to monitor the network load at important data nodes (=switches). If the data traffic exceeds the capacity of the switch, data loss (discards) or communication disruptions will occur.

Often these sporadic network load peaks occur due to acyclic data queries or TCP/IP applications. In order to make these short-term overloads visible, the PROmesh P10X provides network load statistics. These show all network loads per port and discards that have occurred, up to the second, and enable performance-related bottlenecks to be discovered and eliminated.

EMC monitoring
– Equipotential bonding OK?

Communication errors or interruptions? Despite correct shielding, EMC coupling in data lines occurs again and again in practice. To better detect these sources of EMC interference, the PROmesh P10X has permanent leakage current monitoring. 

The integrated leakage current monitoring of the PROmesh P10X records the frequency and intensity of occurring EMC disturbances in addition to the exact time. In order to simplify the subsequent search for the source of interference, an exact snapshot of the event is also stored. This can be called up via the web interface of the PROmesh P10X.

If a freely settable limit value is exceeded, an automatic alarm notification is sent.

Voltage monitoring (24 V)
– Over- and undervoltage present?

When components and loads are switched on and off, voltage fluctuations occur in your system. These overvoltages/undervoltages can damage or cause failures of switches and other components.

In the case of switches, the central communication nodes, such failures are particularly critical, as the system communication would be considerably affected. For this reason, the PROmesh P10X has integrated monitoring of the power supply (24 V). This can be integrated into your central network monitoring as an additional stability parameter, for example.

Temperature monitoring
– Safety despite extreme conditions

The extended temperature range (-40 to +75 °C) allows the PROmesh P10X to be used even under extreme environmental conditions. The integrated monitoring of the device temperature provides additional safety during use.

This not only helps to avoid a temperature-related device failure. The thermal wear of the switch can also be tracked and reduced. The individual tolerance range of the temperature alarm can be managed via the integrated web interface.

Clear user interface
(according to traffic light colour scheme) 

Condition and measurement values only help if you can use them in an uncomplicated way. For this reason, the PROmesh P10X has an integrated web interface that can be accessed on site or remotely. With the help of this, all recorded monitoring and diagnostic data can be called up effortlessly.

The well-proven condition evaluation according to the traffic light colour scheme (red - yellow - green) speeds up your routine condition checks. In addition, all measured values are graphically processed and clearly displayed. This allows you to recognise anomalies or a need for action at a glance.

Event alarms with push notification
(individually customisable)

Whether preset (according to Indu-Sol recommendation) or individual threshold value: The alarm manager of the PROmesh P10X documents all events and conspicuities to the millisecond. Depending on the configuration, an automated notification can be triggered for certain events. This allows you to detect and eliminate potential sources of interference preventively.

The following notifications are supported

• PN-RTA
• SNMP
• E-mail
• Relay

Thanks to its robust and compact design, the PROmesh P10X is ideally suited for use outside the control cabinet. Effortlessly implement sophisticated network structures - optionally also directly on robots or other moving system parts.

• For use outside the control cabinet
• Space-saving thanks to compact design
• Suitable for extreme temperatures (-40 to +75 °C)
• Suitable for welding applications (thanks to metal housing)
• Suitable for moving plant sections (vibration-resistant)
