Molex Brad eNetMeter DN Diagnostics Tools

Molex Brad eNetMeter DN Diagnostics Tools are IP20-rated passive devices that continuously monitor the DeviceNet network and send the information over Ethernet to a PLC or PC monitoring system. These diagnostic tools minimize system downtime from network failure and help anticipate problems with live network validation and troubleshooting. Brad eNetMeter provides a continuous high-speed measurement of up to 100 mega samples per second of critical network parameters for accurate analysis of DeviceNet physical layer parameters to avoid pending network issues. Brad eNetMeter DN diagnostics tools can operate in the temperature range of 0°C to +60°C with a power of 300mA. Molex Brad eNetMeter DN diagnostics tools are equipped with a maximum storage temperature of 75°C and are used in an automotive assembly line, food and beverage processing, material handling, mining equipment, and packaging equipment.
