Network Monitoring TH LINK PROFIBUS | Plug-and-play diagnostics for PROFIBUS

The PROFIBUS Tester 4 is a powerful tool that allows full testing of live PROFIBUS segments with minimum influence on their operation. The tool reliably detects even transient faults that occur only sporadically. Using the integrated master simulator, either the bus can even be tested if the PLC is currently not in operation, or "suspicious" bus devices can be checked individually.

Advantages

• Time saving because it is easy to use and results are self-explanatory.

Functions

• Full bus testing without a Notebook and without operative PLC possible.
• Bus-check possible during running operation.
• Combines the diagnostic functions of previously separate tools in one device.
• With a single mouse click (PC mode) or a single push of a button (stand-alone mode) a full examination of a PROFIBUS network is initiated.
• The PC software provides many additional features for executing, analyzing, and managing bus tests.
• A status bar continually shows the current bus state.
• Choice between quick test or user-controlled test.
• The Topology Scan feature determines the overall cable length and the cable length between slaves.
• 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 without operative PLC, only the baud rate needs to be specified – no configuration or parameterization is required.

Applications

• Troubleshooting.
• Preventive Maintenance.
• Setup and Commissioning.
• Documentation.
• Acceptance Testing.
• Optimization.
• Laboratory Tests.
