PROFIBUS Diagnostic & Troubleshooting Device

Test PROFIBUS Cable, Signals, and Data, All-In-One Handheld Tester

• Combination of PROFIBUS signal tester, oscilloscope, protocol analyzer, master simulator and cable tester functionality in a single handheld diagnostic tool
• Includes stand-alone mode plus extended PC-based diagnostics
• Suited for PROFIBUS installation, setup, commissioning, documentation, acceptance testing, network optimization, preventive maintenance, troubleshooting as well as laboratory tests
• Ideal for first time users as well as for PROFIBUS specialists

Highly Mobile PROFIBUS Tester for Testing Even Without a Laptop

• Battery-powered operation; testing while unplugged reduces risk of ground loops
• Graphical display provides easy-to-understand presentation of test results
• Comprehensive network tests are built-in to PROFIBUS Tester 5 without requiring a laptop PC

Enhanced Diagnostic Features in the Analytical Software

• Many additional features for executing, analysing and managing PROFIBUS tests (Trend, Topology Scan, Master Simulator, Oscilloscope, Frame Analyser)
• Quick Test and User-Controlled Test for easy network status assessment at the push of a button
• Generation of test reports describing the actual status of the PROFIBUS installation

Optional Measuring Adaptor for MBP (Manchester Coded Bus Powered) Signals

• Specific signal analysis supporting MBP Physics (feeding voltage, signal deviation, signal polarity, bitrate divergence)
• Complete protocol analysis directly at the PROFIBUS PA segment

Some text

The clamp measures leakage currents, e.g. leakage and fault currents and current pick-up of instruments without breaking the circuit. Measurements according to DIN VDE 0701/0702 and the German BetrSichV (BGV A3, VBG 4). It also reliably detects even very small improper shield currents resulting from EMC problems.

Functionality:

• Leakage current measurement
• Differential current measurement
• Voltage and resistance measurement
• Frequency range for AC current / voltage 40 Hz...1 kHz
• Acoustical continuity test MIN/MAX and relative value measurement
• Manual selection of the measurement range
• Integrated data storage
• Additional analogue bar graph display
• Clamp opening 30 mm
• Auto power off

Included in package:

• Digital leakage current clamp
• 2 batteries 1.5 V IEC LR6
• Carrying case
• Measuring cables (1 x red, 1 x black)
• User manual.

Interface for providing an access point to test PROFIBUS Networks

Essential if the D-sub Connectors have no service socket or if the devices are connected via terminal block

• Allows testing the Bus during operation
• Exchange of Bus Devices at the beginning or end of the Bus without causing problems on the Bus

Application:

The service interface is top hat rail mounted. An external 24 VDC power source is required for power supply to the terminating resistor in the PROFIBUS connector included in the package.

The service interface can therefore be used as an active Bus termination at the beginning or end of the Bus. If the PLC allows dropping and adding Bus stations on the live Bus, the service interface offers the possibility to exchange the first and last bus stations without causing problems on the bus. See figure (middle) for application example.

Included in package:

• PBMB adapter and 90° angled PROFIBUS connector with switchable terminating resistor, strain relief and screw terminal technology.

Interface for providing an access point to test PROFIBUS networks with M12 connectors

• Provides an access point for testing PROFIBUS networks with M12 connectors.
• Allows Bus testing during operation

Application

The service interface is inserted between two bus stations. When not in use, the service output of the T piece is closed with an end cap. At baud rates of 1.5 Mbit/s or higher, use the supplied cable to ensure that the required minimum distance between bus stations is maintained. 

Included in the package:

• T piece (protection class IP68) with end cap and a 1 m DP cable fitted with a male/female M12 connector on each end.
