Product description:
The PROFIBUS Tester 4 is a powerful tool that allows extensive testing of PROFIBUS segments during operation. It can also test the bus – or individual devices of interest – even with no PLC running.
All-in-one
The PROFIBUS Tester 4 combines a signal tester, a storage oscilloscope, a protocol analyzer, and a master simulator into a single tool. This tool is designed for use in a wide range of applications – from setup and commissioning, documentation, acceptance testing, and optimization to preventive maintenance, troubleshooting and laboratory tests. In addition, the PROFIBUS Tester 4 can be used without a notebook and is able to run comprehensive network tests in stand-alone mode.
Also Suitable for Less Experienced Users
With a single mouse click (PC mode) or a single push of a button (stand-alone mode) a user is able to initiate a full examination of a PROFIBUS network including automatic signal and protocol analysis. A summary of all results is displayed to the user in a very intuitive manner. In PC mode, the software package has been designed to emphasize the all-important ease-of-use aspect while at the same time preserving the more in-depth diagnostic features required by networking experts. This makes the tool ideal for both less experienced users and fieldbus specialists.
Intuitive Use and Clear Readings
The PROFIBUS Tester 4 automatically detects the baud rate or open circuit voltage immediately after connection to the PROFIBUS. In stand-alone mode, the bus can be tested using the Live Status functionality. The PC software provides many additional features for executing, analyzing, and managing bus tests. A status bar continually shows the current bus state. Using the Network Status function, the bus can be tested with a Quick Test or a user-controlled test. The Topology Scan feature determines the overall cable length and the cable length between slaves. The test results can be documented in a detailed test report. The Long-Term Trend view is used for detecting sporadic faults. In the Oscilloscope and Frame Analyzer views, experts can perform in-depth, detailed analysis. For bus and device tests with the integrated master simulator, only the baud rate needs to be specified – no configuration or parameterization is required.
