Microsoft Network Monitor

The MS Network Monitor 2 can be extended by further protocols using appropriate parser DLLs. For the AMS/TCP protocol such an extension DLL is delivered with TwinCAT.

This DLL is located on the TwinCAT CD in the directory Unsupported Utilities and must be copied to the subdirectory Parsers of the MS Network Monitor.

With the help of the MS Network Monitor only the communication that takes place via the Ethernet interface can be logged. Recording with other fieldbuses (Lightbus, Profibus, ...) is not possible. 

Not a Beckhoff product It must be pointed out at this point that the MS Network Monitor is not a Beckhoff product and therefore no support can be provided for it. Also, the parser DLL is not an official product, so we do not provide any warranty for its use. However, we are grateful for information on corresponding errors.
