Communication network analyzer NANL-B500G-RE

portabledigitalinspection

Overview
The netANALYZER NANL-B500G-RE is a portable, passive analyzer for Real‑Time Ethernet networks. Delivery includes the capture hardware (stand‑alone box) and the Windows analysis application netANALYZER Scope. The hardware records telegrams and timestamps with high precision and can be used with third‑party tools such as Wireshark for protocol-level inspection.

Key capabilities

• Comprehensive analysis for Real‑Time Ethernet systems (PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, POWERLINK, Sercos, Modbus/TCP)
• Passive TAP capture that does not affect network or PLC operation
• Intuitive graphical analysis with netANALYZER Scope (oscilloscope-style views for process values, network load and jitter)
• Station lists, alarms, process values, network load and telegram jitter measurement
• Continuous recording with configurable triggers; REC button for autonomous field captures

Description details
The NANL-B500G-RE supports standalone operation without a PC: use the REC button for immediate field captures. Advanced trigger functionality enables long-term deployment in a plant: when trigger criteria are met, the device creates telegram snapshots for later analysis in netANALYZER Scope. Four digital inputs allow event correlation with captured telegrams.

Protocols supported

• Ethernet
• Sercos Master / Slave
• PROFINET IO‑Controller / IO‑Device
• EtherNet/IP Scanner / Adapter
• EtherCAT Master / Slave
• POWERLINK Controlled Node
• Open Modbus/TCP Server / Client
