Network Profiler is a multi-bus platform PC configuration tool designed to interface to common busses such as CANopen, DeviceNet, and EtherNet/IP (SDS and Profibus will be added). This environment allows the user easy access to the data in the same manner regardless of the bus. A simple click of the mouse will scan the network for available nodes. Once nodes are located, the node can be scanned for all available parameters (attributes for DeviceNet and EIP;objects for CANopen). The application will display the parameters in readable form using data from the specifications and/or from the node's eds file. Separate profiles for different networks configuration may be edited and saved. The configuration can be used to configure replacement modules or to duplicate network settings on a new network (ie production). The software works with a variety of CAN interfaces including the INC USB177X. Other interfaces supported are IXXAT VCI, SST, and the AB KFD module.
