NaviTEK IE – PROFINET TESTER

Pinpoint Cable Faults and Minimize Downtime
One of the main causes to network downtime is caused by cable faults. The NaviTEK IE has a series of advanced wiremap tools for PROFINET and standard Ethernet IP network cabling:

Copper Cabling
Using the RJ45 or M12 interfaces the NaviTEK IE offers a wiremap specifically designed for PROFINET Industrial Ethernet networks and Standard Ethernet networks.

• Displays the correct wiring colors for the protocol used
• Supported cable types – 4 twisted wires / 2 twisted pairs / 4 twisted pairs
• Measures the cable length
• Determine where and what the cable fault is including split pairs/opens/shorts/miswires.

Fiber Cabling
Using the optional SFP module the NaviTEK IE will test your fiber data cabling.

• Measures the optical RX power received to prove performance with supported SFPs
• Discover cable faults ie dirty connectors, breaks and bends that exceed specified loss limits

Why is NaviTEK IE better than other cable testers?

• Accurate distance to fault using Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR)
• Tests every wire in the data cable not every pair to help isolate issues that other testers cannot find
• Supports standard and non-standard cabling as the wiremap can be customized to your specific cabling

Correct network issues using the discovery and configuration tools
The NaviTEK IE will discover the following list of faults:

• Incorrect device names
• Duplicate IP addresses
• Packet loss

If node configuration faults are found, easily correct them using the simple configure tool.

Discover mis-configured devices that cause a network conflict
The NETMAP comparison tool can also perform a scan of the entire network to identify all active devices and save this for comparison to future NETMAPS. This enables easy identification of new or removed network devices, incorrectly configured devices or configuration changes, such as those caused by automatic firmware updates.

Find intermittent issues with the event log
The NaviTEK IE will record key network errors for up to 48 hours including the following parameters. This will help determine if a problem is with the cabling, node, PLC or the
network configuration.

• Device status
• Input/output errors

Display and validate network node details quickly
The NaviTEK IE uses the following protocols to display the most important network node parameters.

• Discovery and Control Protocol (DCP)
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
• Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)

Perform a health check to identify issues before network failures occur
The health check feature provides a quick indication of how each of your devices are performing with an easy to understand traffic light system. By clicking on each device you will see why your device is categorized as amber or red and corrective action can be taken.

Locate hidden or poorly labelled devices
Quickly identify a specific device with the NaviTEK IE by flashing its LEDs.

Test Reporting
NaviTEK IE automatically generates test reports in PDF or CSV format.

The summary page of each report can be customized to include logo, company and operator details. Choose between 3 different reports than can show either passed, failed or all test reports in each report:

• Summary
• Brief
• Full
