Services

Helmholz Benelux is the official PI Competence Center (PICC) in the Netherlands, providing unbiased technical support for PROFINET and PROFIBUS networks. We also have experts in Industrial Ethernet, CAN bus, and AS-i networks.

Our team is here to help you at every step, from the initial planning to getting your project up and running.

Network design

A dependable network starts with good planning. PI (PROFIBUS & PROFINET International) has guidelines for setting up your network properly.

Our team can assist you with:

  • Checking your network setup
  • Giving neutral advice
  • Giving a second opinion on your current setup
  • Explaining the results of your choices
  • Suggesting other options

Together, we can make sure your network is ready for the future, secure, and easy to maintain. We can also help you create documents that meet PI standards.

Commissioning and certification

As a PICC, we can handle the commissioning of your PROFIBUS and PROFINET networks. We’ll verify that your network and documents meet PI guidelines and certify your setup.

Approval can happen when your system is first installed, after you add to it, or during regular checks.

An approved network means it will work as it should and you have proof that it meets international standards. This makes it easier to fix issues and allows for growth in the future.

Troubleshooting

If your industrial network isn’t working right, our team is ready to help, often with little delay.

We use organized methods and specialized equipment like bus monitors, analyzers, testers, and oscilloscopes.

This allows us to fix both simple and complicated problems fast. After fixing the issue, you’ll get a report describing what caused the issue, the current state of your network, and tips for keeping it reliable.

Periodical network checkup

We offer regular checkups for PROFINET and PROFIBUS networks, so you always know how well your network is working.

Our yearly plan includes:

  • Installing a PROFINET or PROFIBUS network monitor
  • Checking the overall of your network
  • Giving tips for improvement
  • Following up after three months with an analysis of the monitor data and a report
  • Providing check-ups every three months with updated reports and advice

This approach helps keep your network stable and ready for anything.
