N-VIEW OPC PORT MONITORING OPTION
The
N-TRON
Software can be combined with popular HMI software
packages to add network traffic monitoring, trending and
alarming to any application using
configured with the N-View option.
Server collects 41 different traffic variables per port and 5
system level variables per switch. This information can
provide a complete overview of the network load, service
quality, and packet traffic. OPC client software can use
N-View OPC Server data to resolve network problems quickly
and improve system reliability.
