Frontline's NetDecoder™ protocol analyzer is designed specifically to help isolate communication problems in industrial networks. Frontline's NetDecoder analyzer has the ability to monitor and provide detailed timing, data and messaging information for serial, fieldbus, Ethernet and wireless networks. The NetDecoder protocol analyzer is used in many industries including Oil & Gas, Food and beverage, Electric power transmission, Water or sewer management, and Factory automation.

LATEST UPDATES (for NetDecoder 9.6.13.0):

  1. NetDecoder now has an improved start-up wizard with detailed information to help users pick the right option.
  2. NetDecoder now supports the new “RS-422/485 ComProbe”. This device can capture Asynchronous RS-422/485 data and connects to the analysis PC via USB.


     
  3. The ControlNet analyzer using Rockwell Automation’s 1784-PCC interface card has been updated to fix bugs and improve performance.
  4. NetDecoder now includes improved Modbus decoders that improve Master-Slave node identification.
  5. The ControlNet and CIP decoders have been improved. This release fixes some decoder bugs that were reported by customers.
  6. The DH+ statistics plugin has been improved to automatically reload data when the decoders are reloaded.

The NetDecoder analyzer is more than an efficient and effective troubleshooting tool. It has transitioned into an effective monitoring tool giving you the ability to see issues developing before they result in major problems. Some of the main features of the NetDecoder analyzer include:

The NetDecoder analyzer also provides the ability to analyze both serial and Ethernet traffic at the same time. This feature is very handy to troubleshoot issues where serial to Ethernet converters are used. The NetDecoder analyzer provides a view to traffic on both sides of the converter with the NetDecoder analyzer's ability to run both its serial and Ethernet analyzers at the same time.
