ProfiTrace 2 - Mobile PROFIBUS Combi-Analyzer

ProfiCore Ultra is an interface adapter to connect the PC/Laptop with PROFIBUS.ProfiTrace 2 is the most powerful mobile analyzer for PROFIBUS networks. It is the latest generation in the line of busmonitor technology. Thousands of users benefit daily from this great tool. ProfiTrace combines all required tools in one:
Busmonitor
Oscilloscope
Bar graph
Topology Scan
Reporting
DP Master


Technicians can check and troubleshoot the complete PROFIBUS network with 1 software package and 1 piece of hardware. This is 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 be exported to detailed reports which are accepted by the industry. Predictive maintenance and asset management are really possible with ProfiTrace! This outstanding tool that fits in your pocket, will boost the capabilities of service, maintenance and engineering technicians.

UPLive List

ProfiTrace livelist
"Colours make it easy….."

The Live List is a matrix that continuously lists all the available devices. It is directly visible which devices are ‘troublemakers’.
With different background colours the status of the devices is displayed;
- Green: Device is in Data Exchange
- Yellow: Device is lost
- Red: Parameter fault
- Purple: Configuration fault
- No colour: Not in Data Exchange
The Live List can also generate the product name of the devices when a diagnostic message is captured (synchronized with the GSD library).
UPStatistics matrix

"Click and go….."

The statistics matrix is the most powerful feature of the analyzer. This field can really indicate what the condition of the installation is. It displays all the important information that a user, especially a maintenance technician is really interested in;
Retry messages
Fall-outs
Bus cycle time
Diagnostic messages, etc.

Because of this feature, the user does not have to inspect messages or do difficult operations to ensure the quality of the installation.

If the statistics do NOT show deviations, the installation is on the 1st degree OK!!!
UPMessage recording

"The absolute truth....."

When the user records messages, he has a perfect visual representation on the screen;

Visualization of FDL, DP, DP-V1, DP-V2, PA and I&M messages.
Messages can be filtered and stored.
Data interpretation of bytes, words, floating points, etc.
Error detection.
Bookmarks.
ProfiTrace message recording with retries
UPScopeWare (DP)

Oscilloscope function in ProfiTrace 2
"The easiest oscilloscope ever....."

With the built in oscilloscope we can detect; noise, reflections, termination problems, etc.

Time scale: 50 ns to 500 ms.
Voltage scale: 0,5 to 5 V per DIV.
Cursors (voltage and time).
Differential (B-A) and single ended (A and/or B line) measurements.
Trigger per device or free running.
Trigger features: start of response, request message and voltage level.
Bit interpretation engine.
UPScopeWare (PA)

Oscilloscope function in ProfiTrace 2

UPBar graph

Bargraphs in ProfiTrace

The bar graph is a helpful utility to get an impression of the overall signal quality of the network.

2 Selectable modes: Average signal level and minimum difference between 1 and 0.
Average, min. and max. signal level indicator.
Colours state the quality of the signals.
Can be sorted on: address and Voltage.
Continuously updated.
