In this session, learn about how the new Network Management Software (NMS) from Rockwell Automation can help improve your industrial network visibility and troubleshooting procedures by providing intuitive network information within context of the automation system designed for the non-IT personnel. Easily discover plant floor assets, automatically create “as-built” topology of managed switches and devices, with live device centric views for real-time configuration. In addition, NMS can monitor the network for alarms, events and audits which are automatically captured and can provide for easy historical analysis. This session combines presentation with an instructor led demonstration of NMS.
