Safe operating environments through certified networks and equipment
Telemecanique Automation and Control Services network engineers provide field validation services of installed networks using the latest in testing equipment for certifying Ethernet and other communications media, giving you total assurance of a properly installed industrial communication network. A complete and thorough inspection of each cabling segment is done to identify current and potential problems.

The certification service also includes a performance assessment designed to help you achieve the best results from your existing network. The assessment provides you with a deep analysis of your network, measuring and reporting the key parameters required for a comprehensive view of your current network performance. It details limitations, traffic patterns, bandwidth utilization, and potential network degradation. From there, strategies involving reconfiguration and design are developed to ensure you’ve achieved maximum performance.

Our network engineers will:

• Scan all media segments with a time domain reflectometer to ensure proper length and assure compliance with EIA/TIA and IEEE standards
• Inspect each termination
• Inspect cable routing and strain relief
• Provide detailed report including all visual, mechanical and electronic test data
• Verify each device for speed and Ethernet devices for duplex capabilities
• Identify how each device loads the network and influences communications
• Evaluate your network for segmentation, cabling, switching and routing topology rules
• Check environmental variables against manufacturers specifications that can make or break any network setup including: temperature, relative humidity, vibration levels, and noise

Once we certify a network cable system you will receive a written certification ensuring you have the most reliable communication network. At a minimum, all Modbus Plus, Ethernet and Remote I/O cable systems should go through this certification process. Additionally, after certification, we will warrant the entire network.
