ProfiScript - Protocol Test Software

ProfiScript is a low cost professional PROFIBUS pre-certification tool that can test and verify the complete protocol functionality of DP, DP-V1 and PA devices.

It has enormous flexibility and is very easy to use. At this moment it is the only tool available, which can power-up/down devices by an external intelligent power switch and has the capability of remote testing over the Internet. An implemented syntax interpreter can also test the GSD file.

Application areas
	Product certification (Real Testlab Tool)
	Pre-conformance testing
	Product development
	Test-system for production verification

This is the tool that will save you time and money during your PROFIBUS development and pre-certification phase, because we are also using this tool in our testlab!
