Product Description

EtherTAP2 — Passive Industrial Ethernet Monitoring

 

The EtherTAP2 is an interface device for passive monitoring of Industrial Ethernet traffic. It is an essential tool for Industrial Ethernet engineering and commissioning activities, especially for verifying connections and performance of RT, IRT, and other real-time applications.

The EtherTAP2 significantly reduces the equipment needed for network analysis — only an Atlas, Mercury, or PC and one EtherTAP2 are required. This decreases both the complexity and the points of failure during analysis

Why EtherTAP2?

The monitor port of managed switches is unreliable for passive monitoring: it can be occupied, it may not forward all traffic, or it may drop messages due to switch overload. Additionally, the Ethernet port of a laptop can be overwhelmed by real-time applications when two channels are merged into one.

The EtherTAP2 solves these issues by providing a dedicated USB link to the monitoring device (such as Atlas2), and streaming captured messages through an accompanying driver that emulates an additional Ethernet port on the monitoring device. Critically, the EtherTAP2 also prevents the Atlas from sending out messages on its own initiative, which could otherwise jeopardize the real-time behavior and security of the monitored network.

Key Capabilities

       Passive diagnostics — completely invisible to the monitored network

       Cycle time per device measurement (in milliseconds)

       Positive and negative message jitter reporting (as % of cycle time)

       Dropped packet detection and counting

       PROFINET alarm monitoring and reporting

       Message recording in .pcapng format, compatible with Wireshark

       Ethernet traffic statistics for Port A and Port B independently

       Compatible with PROCENTEC Atlas, Atlas2, Mercury, and any Windows/Mac/Linux PC

       Galvanically separated network connections

       DIN-rail mountable

 

Compatible Platforms

Works with Atlas/Atlas2/Osiris PROFINET Analysis license, as well as with 3rd party solutions Wireshark, ClearSight, OptiView, NetSpector, OmniPeak, NetDecoder, Packetyzer and Ethertest.

Features

  • Passive diagnostics around the clock monitors Industrial Ethernet traffic without any active participation in the network — completely invisible to connected devices
  • Message recording filtered based on your very own triggers
  • Cycle time analysis measures and report cycle time per PROFINET device in milliseconds, verifies periodic data transmission behavior
  • Jitter analysis reports positive/negative message jitter as a percentage of cycle time, detects early/late message with percentage values
  • Dropped packet detection counts PROFINET messages missing from the communication cycle
  • Alarm monitoring detects and counts PROFINET alarms — specific error messages issued by controllers or devices using the PROFINET protocol
  • Ethernet statistics collects and displays per-port (Port A and Port B) Ethernet statistics including network load, communication errors, and timestamp of last change
  • Network load analysis measures and displays the percentage of Ethernet bandwidth in use on the monitored link
