Signal quality, cable behavior, and network topology may seem like minor details, but they can have a significant impact on the performance and reliability of industrial networks. The real challenge is knowing which signals matter and how to interpret them correctly.
In this expert webinar, HMS Networks shares insights from practical PROFIBUS and PROFINET network audits. You'll see how experienced engineers identify vulnerabilities that imperceptibly affect stability and availability, often without raising any red flags.
The session shows which issues are often overlooked and how a structured diagnostic approach helps you to translate individual symptoms into clear causes.
You will gain practical insights into how to:
- Recognizes recurring errors found during PROFIBUS and PROFINET audits
- Apply systematic diagnostic workflows for efficient troubleshooting
- Identifies common physical layer issues such as cable quality, interference, and device naming
- Makes design choices that improve robustness, such as segmentation, managed switches and basic cybersecurity
- Tools and maintenance practices deployed to detect problems early and prevent costly downtime
From practical diagnostics to structured network insight
HMS Networks brings together decades of experience in industrial network diagnostics, based on technologies and methodologies from specialized PROFIBUS and PROFINET analysis. With the integration of Procentec into HMS in 2020, this knowledge forms the foundation of HMS's network audit and diagnostics approach—enabling you to structurally improve the reliability of your network.
