Profibus Diagnostic & Troubleshooting Device

Supports PROFIBUS cable testing, physical signal & protocol analysis

The PROFIBUS Tester 5 (BC-700-PB) is a powerful PROFIBUS diagnostic and troubleshooting tool for testing the cables, measuring the signals and analyzing the communication of PROFIBUS networks. It is battery-powered and provides a graphical display, allowing for quick results when working in stand-alone mode. Optionally, also PROFIBUS PA network can be analyzed. In addition, the PROFIBUS Tester 5 supports the export of test results for advanced analysis.

Overview

Test PROFIBUS Cable, Signals, and Data, All-In-One Handheld Tester

• Combination of PROFIBUS signal tester, oscilloscope, protocol analyzer, master simulator and cable tester functionality in a single handheld diagnostic tool
• Includes stand-alone mode plus extended PC-based diagnostics
• Suited for PROFIBUS installation, setup, commissioning, documentation, acceptance testing, network optimization, preventive maintenance, troubleshooting as well as laboratory tests
• Ideal for first time users as well as for PROFIBUS specialists

Highly Mobile PROFIBUS Tester for Testing Even Without a Laptop
