HMS adds EtherNet/IP to Netbiter Remote Management Solution

By connecting a Netbiter EasyConnect 300-series gateway, users of EtherNet/IP-based equipment can carry out maintenance from any location. 

The Netbiter Remote Management solution has previously offered connectivity to Modbus devices, but now HMS can also offer direct, on board compatibility with EtherNet/IP. Via the LAN port on the Netbiter Gateway, users can connect via UCMM (UnConnected Message Manager) which is an acyclic messaging channel separate from the control loop messaging.

Features of Netbiter include:

  • Users can configure EtherNet/IP devices remotely using their regular configuration software (RSLogix for example), log trends, monitor performance over time, and get alarm or event notifications whenever critical thresholds are reached.
  • Users can connect an EtherNet/IP-based automation device to a Netbiter gateway via the LAN port. The Netbiter gateway sends data via Ethernet or the cellular network to the cloud-based data centre called Netbiter Argos. 
  • Users access Netbiter Argos at www.netbiter.net using a regular web browser. They can also set up a secure tunnel to the remote machine or equipment which enables commissioning and debugging just as if they were on site.
  • The new Netbiter release includes the ability to group and filter alarms, as well as free access to map functionality showing the exact location of each Netbiter gateway.
