ProfiShark 1G+ by Profitap captures Ethernet traffic on 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 links to investigate communication issues in machines and industrial networks.
GPS/GLONASS and PPS synchronization lets you correlate captures from multiple locations using a common time reference.
Key Features
- 8 ns hardware timestamping resolution: records packet arrival times for interval, latency and jitter analysis. Resolution is different from synchronization accuracy between devices.
- Frame capture: preserves tags, encapsulation and CRC/FCS error frames for analysis beyond conventional network interface capture.
- Transparent access: ProfiShark and the capture computer do not appear as nodes on the monitored network.
- ProfiShark Manager and Wireshark: configuration, statistics and direct-to-disk capture, with packet analysis in Wireshark or other tools.
- Packet slicing: limits the bytes stored per packet when the application allows reduced capture size.
- GPS/GLONASS and PPS: UTC timestamping and PPS input/output synchronization for correlating traces from multiple locations.

Capture and link continuity conditions
Bypass directly connects the attached devices on power loss. Switching can interrupt the link for approximately 1–2 seconds; it is not uninterrupted continuity. A 5 VDC supply can prevent switching when USB is disconnected.
Applications and Benefits
- Maintenance and commissioning: capture exchanges between PLCs, HMIs, switches and other devices to investigate communication failures and intermittent behavior.
- Multi-point correlation: compare synchronized traces to examine the path and timing of communications between capture locations.
- Extended capture: use storage and a compatible NAS to record sporadic faults; verify capacity, platform and drivers.
- Target sectors: machinery OEMs, food processing, automotive, water and energy; choose the capture point for the IT/OT architecture.
How is it installed?
Prepare the computer with ProfiShark Manager and the required drivers; no software is installed on monitored PLCs, HMIs or other devices. In-line insertion requires work on the link and a planned connection. An existing mirror port or TAP can provide another access point, depending on the model.
Is this the right model for my network?
Choose this model when you need synchronization between captures. For single-point capture, also consider the model without GPS/PPS.
