PROFIBUSTester PB-T3

Product Information Precise Analysis of Signal Quality and Configuration

Application

The PB-T3 PROFIBUS Professional tester is a universal measuring instrumentfor analysis, monitoring, error finding and maintenance of PROFIBUS systems. Typical operating faults for plants runningPROFIBUS, such as station failure, communication errors or evenplant shutdowns, are frequently due to the bus electrics and cabling. PB-T3 provides an overview of the signal conditions onthe bus, thus helping users to quickly find and correct errors.

Find Errors Easily

PB-T3 is quickly connected to any PC via USB. Besides automatic-ally detecting the baud rate and the individual devices of the system to be analyzed, it determines the signal quality of eachdevice on the bus. Thereby it also shows the signal shape with its built-in storage oscilloscope manufacturers. PB-T3 also provides a mastersimulator which permits checking the PROFIBUS installation evenwithout having the actual bus master in operation. The detec-tion of multiple identical station addresses and the determination of the bus cycle times help to ensure the correct configuration of the system. In addition, PB-T3 can determine the topology of a plant, there-by localizing sources of error with exact position information. Other convenient features include the comprehensive, auto-matically generated test report and the possibility to export themeasurement results as CSV files and graphics for further pro- cessing, for example in MS Office programs.
