The IP-Watcher generates an alarm when network components no longer respond.
Devices are watched by means of cyclical pinging or regular opening and closing of a TCP port. When a fault occurs, switch an alarm output or report the event over the network, e.g. via email or SNMP trap. In addition, the IP Watcher provides an SNTP service through which any network station can obtain the current time information.
One box for any application:
Small System Using the integrated Web server the IP-Watcher can be configured directly through the browser. It is also possible to monitor the configured alarms and acknowledge pending messages using the Web interface. Additional functions, such as sending email messages, enables implementation of autonomous applications out-of-the-box.
Big System Standard protocols and interfaces such as OPC, SNMP and SYSLOG enable trouble-free integration into existing systems (e.g. monitoring via SNMP with Nagios). The digital outputs can be used to report faults even on already present automation devices having digital inputs.
Monitor the status of the configured alarms directly from the browser. Alarm acknowledgments can be performed directly on the Web interface by mouse-click. The process is self-refreshing and therefore always current.
