INFOCOM LTD specialists at your facility can perform comprehensive diagnostics, analysis and troubleshooting of PROFIBUS DP and PROFIBUS PA networks.

For professional testing of PROFIBUS networks is used the portable ProfiTrace network analyzer. It is an effective tool for monitoring, maintenance and operational troubleshooting.

Typical PROFIBUS faults such as noise, hum, wiring errors, double addresses, wire breaks and configuration errors are easily and quickly identified. Random errors (for example, overshoot and retries) and diagnostic information can be logged and stored by the PROFIBUS network analyzer.

Results can be exported and saved as a detailed report that complies with accepted industry standards. As a result, PROFIBUS errors can be quickly detected and corrected, increasing uptime.

Application areas of the PROFIBUS network analyzer:

  • Troubleshooting and maintenance of PROFIBUS networks
  • Commissioning of PROFIBUS networks
  • Testing and verification of PROFIBUS products
  • Passive cable test
  • Checking the Input/Out of PROFIBUS devices
  • Configuration and diagnostics of PROFIBUS devices
  • Assigning addresses to PROFIBUS devices
  • Interface for transferring input/output data and statistical information about the bus operation to third-party applications
  • Training

Areas of application of the PROFIBUS network analyzer:

  • Bus monitoring for DP and PA protocols with statistics

Replays, failures, corrupted messages, diagnostic data, cycle times, etc.

  • High speed digital oscilloscope – ScopeWare

Differential voltage, A-line, B-line, noise, overshoot, interference, triggers. There is an interpretation of bits, bytes and words. All messages can be filtered and saved.

  • Bar graph

Average, min. and max. value of signals on the bus for each device.

  • Topology scanning

Automatic generation of network topology.

  • Creatіng reports

Automatic generation of detailed reports that conform to accepted industry standards.

Regularly analyzing and diagnosing PROFIBUS networks in your plant helps you implement preventive maintenance and efficient asset management.
