What is PROFIBUS ? Basics PROFIBUS is a long-established fieldbus for connecting sensors and actuators with a central controller. It has proven to be a reliable and safe network technology. As a market-leading, standardised system, it enables the joint operation of automation and visualisation systems without a need for special interfaces. PROFIBUS is suitable both for smaller applications where time is critical and for highly complex communication tasks. In order to ensure the stable functioning of any machine or system in the long term, the condition of all parts that are subject to wear...

networks our passion,  Your Business Standards and guidelines Measurement, planning, acceptance inspection and commissioning in PROFIBUS, and therefore the criteria for quality evaluation, are based on observing the following standards and guidelines as well as the experience of Indu-Sol GmbH. ■ PI PROFIBUS Design Guideline – Version 1.29 – September 2020 ■ PI PROFIBUS Commissioning Guideline – Version 1.23 – September 2020 ■ PI PROFIBUS Assembly Guideline – Version 1.47 – September 2020 ■ EN 50310 – Application of equipotential bonding and earthing in buildings with information technology...

PROFIBUS measurement and diagnostic tools PROFIBUS tester PB-QONE The PROFIBUS tester PB-QONE is a measuring and diagnostic tool that was developed especially for commissioning and factory acceptance tests, maintenance and service as well as troubleshooting in PROFIBUS networks. Its ease of use and clear and automated evaluation of measuring results allow to reliably evaluate the state of the physical and logical transmission quality in the network. Regardless of the applied PROFIBUS protocol this universal tool is used for PROFIBUS DP and PROFIBUS PA networks. Highlights ■ Fully automated...

networks our passion,  Your Business PROFtest II XL cable tester The PROFtest II cable tester is used to check if the cables in a PROFIBUS network are routed correctly. The device indicates the real cable length and detects cable and shielding discontinuities as well as wiring errors. The cable test is done while the system is turned off and supports installers and maintainers with commissioning and service. Highlights ■ Is the ideal measurement tool for commissioning operation, maintenance and service. ■ A simply and handy tool for the verification of the correct wiring in PROFIBUS...

PROFIBUS measurement and diagnostic tools PROFIBUS measuring points Why measuring points in the PROFIBUS network? Where should measuring points be installed? Feedback-free measuring points to connect essential diagnostic tools are indispensable for communication analysis during commissioning, maintenance or troubleshooting. Diagnostic access should already be considered during the A PROFIBUS network is fundamentally based on a linear structure. If required, it can be subdivided into separate, galvanically isolated segments by means of repeaters or other transducers. In each of these...

networks our passion,  Your Business A wide variety of PROFIBUS measuring points is available to cover all requirements. Depending on conditions and functionality, there is a choice between the following types of measuring point: PBMA IP20 active measuring point The PBMA PROFIBUS measuring adapter is a version of the measuring point designed for IP20. Diagnostic tools are connected with the PG/ diagnostic interface of the PROFIBUS connector. PBMX IP67 active measuring point The PBMX version with IP67 protection is designed for installation in rough production environments without a...

PROFIBUS measurement and diagnostic tools PROFIBUS-INspektor® NT analysis and diagnostic tool The PROFIBUS-INspektor®  NT has all you need for your PROFIBUS systems to safely make it to “retirement age”. Highlights ■ History of all events for quick and easy overview The PROFIBUS-INspektor®  NT diagnostic device captures your PROFIBUS network with all active devices and displays them clearly in the integrated web interface. As a passive data logger, it monitors the logical data traffic and alerts you of any anomalies when they occur – not after the system has failed. The...

networks our passion,  Your Business Topology To evaluate a PROFIBUS network, knowledge of the actual wiring between the individual devices is a key prerequisite. This topology can be stored on the device with all important infrastructure components like repeaters, measuring points etc., as well as device information, and retrieved as needed. In addition, the actual and past conditions of individual devices are shown in colour. This makes it much quicker and easier to identify potentially suspect segments or devices much. Fig. 12: Clear topology overview of individual devices and their...

PROFIBUS measurement and diagnostic tools PROFIBUS-INspektor® NT analysis and diagnostic tool Alarms As soon as a threshold is exceeded, the PROFIBUS-INspektor®  NT creates an alarm to warn the operator in time to perform targeted, planned maintenance. Fig. 14: Comprehensive alarm management Warnings can be given in several ways. An LED on the INspektor® shows directly whether errors occurred in the network. In addition to this warning, a potential-free contact can be switched, e.g. to send a message directly to the control system. The third option is to send an e-mail to notify the...

networks our passion,  Your Business EmCheck® LSMZ I leakage current measuring clamp MWMZ I The EmCheck®  LSMZ  I leakage current clamp meter is designed specifically to measure leakage and shielding currents in the frequency range of 50/60 Hz or 5 Hz - 1 kHz. The adjustable measurement range can be set between 30 μA and 100 A. For measuring shielding currents on a data cable, the lower end of the range is more relevant. The EmCheck®  LSMZ  I leakage current clamp meter is also an ideal tool to find insulation faults and unplanned shutdowns caused by leakage currents and tripped FI...
