ProfiTrace

ProfiTrace is a powerful high-speed analyzer for PROFIBUS DP and PA networks. It is based on USB and is the latest generation in the line of busmonitor technology. The analyzer has advanced algorithms and a smart link between protocol and electrical measurements. This outstanding tool will boost the limits and capabilities of service, maintenance and engineering personnel.

The analyzer is an essential tool for commissioning, troubleshooting, maintenance as well as product development. The classical failures such as double addresses, wire breaks and configuration faults are easily identified. Random errors such as data overshoots, damaged telegrams, repeats and diagnostics are also be captured and logged. Predictive maintenance and asset management are now really possible!

Background information
This revolutionary tool has been developed because of the technological limitations of other available tools on the market. Our service teams were frequently forced to invest heavily in interface cards and eventually could no longer accept the frustrations of PC locked licenses. That the prices of the tools are relatively high was another contributing factor and the displayed information is too complex. Our organization decided to initiate the development of an analyzer that was ideally suited to our needs and those of the end-user.
