NET-PwrCtrl Profinet

   

The NET-PwrCtrl PRO units are used in Profinet test environments for automated switching.

In collaboration with the company Sherpa Inc. from Yokohama, we have developed a power strip based on the NET-PwrCtrl PRO that is perfectly suited for such test environments.

In addition to comprehensive labeling—including the use of specific terminology (such as "DUT") both on the device itself and within the software—the firmware supports standard Profinet DCP (Discovery and Configuration Protocol) detection.

When using the "DCP Identify All" function within the any DCP client tool such as Profinet Commander, or Siemens PRONETA as well as Siemens TIA Portal (amongst others), the units are automatically detected on the network, and parameters such as IP address, subnet mask, and router information are provided. These values can be set by the DCP client tool and the static IP configuration can thus be modified.
