Webinar: Designing Stronger PROFIBUS Networks with ComBricks

On-Demand Webinar: Designing Stronger PROFIBUS Networks with ComBricks

How to Build a Better PROFIBUS Network Using ComBricks

Modern industrial networks demand more than just uptime, they require clear visibility, simplified maintenance, and reliable diagnostics. Join us to learn how to improve the stability and structure of your PROFIBUS network using ComBricks - a modular platform that allows for remote monitoring, segmentation, and continuous diagnostics without the need for physical access or repeated site visits.

Whether you’re maintaining a legacy network or designing a new system, you’ll learn how traditional repeater-based topologies compare to ProfiHubs and ComBricks, and how network segmentation can increase reliability, simplify troubleshooting, and make your network easier to maintain long-term. You’ll also see a demonstration of ComBricks in action, with a walkthrough of the web-based interface and examples of how to identify voltage issues, missing termination, and other common faults.
