ProfiTrace
2 - PROFIBUS Combi-Analyzer on USB |
|
 |

Introduction
ProfiTrace 2 is the most powerful analyzer for PROFIBUS
networks. It is the latest generation in the line of busmonitor
technology because it combines all primary tools in one:
Analyzer, Oscilloscope, Bar
graph, Topology Scan and DP-V0/V1
Master.
Technicians can check and troubleshoot the complete PROFIBUS
network with 1 software package and 1 piece of hardware. This
results in an enormous reduction in equipment, weight, costs
and required knowledge. The advanced USB hardware (ProfiCore
Ultra) is internally equipped with a high-speed digital oscilloscope
and able to capture bus signals running at 12 Mbps.
ProfiTrace is an essential tool for maintenance, commissioning
and troubleshooting as well as product development. Typical
failures such as noise, reflections, voltage drops, termination
problems, double addresses, wire breaks and configuration faults
are easily identified. Random errors such as overshoots, error
telegrams, repeats and diagnostics can also be captured and
logged. The results can also be exported to detailed reports
which are accepted by the industry. Predictive maintenance
and asset management are now really possible! This outstanding
tool that fits in your pocket will boost the capabilities
of service, maintenance and engineering technicians.
