PROFIBUS Tester 4

PROFIBUSPROFIBUS Tester 4Quick and easy testing of bus physics and bus communicationThe PROFIBUS Tester 4 is a powerful tool that allows extensive testing of PROFIBUS segments duringoperation. It can also test the bus – or individual devices of interest – even with no PLC running.ALL IN ONEThe PROFIBUS Tester 4 combines a signal tester, a storage oscilloscope, a protocolanalyzer, and a master simulator into a single tool. This tool is designed for usein a wide range of applications – from setup and commissioning, documentation,acceptance testing, and optimization to preventive maintenance, troubleshootingsand laboratory tests. In addition, the PROFIBUS Tester 4 can be used without anotebook and is able to run comprehensive network tests in stand-alone mode.CUSTOMER BENEFITS> Combines the diagnostic functions ofpreviously separate tools in one product> Full bus testing even without anotebook> Very easy to use, delivering fast andreproducible test resultsALSO SUITABLE FOR LESS EXPERIENCED USERSWith a single mouse click (PC mode) or a single push of a button (stand-alone mode) auser is able to initiate a full examination of a PROFIBUS network including automaticsignal and protocol analysis. A summary of all results is displayed to the user in a veryintuitive manner. In PC mode, the software package has been design to emphasizethe all-important ease-of-use aspect while at the same time preserve the more indepthdiagnostic features required by networking experts. This makes the tool idealfor both less experienced users and fieldbus specialists.INTUITIVE USE AND CLEAR READINGSThe PROFIBUS Tester 4 automatically detects the baud rate or open circuit voltageimmediately after connection to the PROFIBUS. In stand-alone mode, the bus can betested using the Live Status functionality. Up to ten quick tests and a trend recordedover maximum 41 days can be saved in the test tool and imported into the PC later.The PC software provides many additional features for executing, analyzing, andmanaging bus tests. A status bar continually shows the current bus state. Using theNetwork Status function, the bus can be tested with a Quick Test or a User-ControlledTest. The Topology Scan feature determines the overall cable length and the cablelength 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 Oscilloscopeand Frame Analyzer views, experts can perform in-depth, detailed analysis. For busand device tests with the integrated master simulator, only the baud rate needs to bespecified – no configuration or parameterization is required.
