DP Configurator

The PROFIBUS configurators for PROFIBUS DP and FMS from Softing effectively simplify the day-to-day work of developers, system start-up technicians and maintenance engineers. 

 

  • Configurator for PROFIBUS DP 
  • Interactively establishes configuration and parameterization data for a DP master 
  • Imports device descriptions (GSD files) 
  • Exports binary and ASCII data 
  • Autonomously sets the ideal bus parameters 
  • Online download in DP master (in connection with PC interface) 
  • Sample application for PC interface cards uses the configuration data generated by the DP Configurator

Diagnostic Tools Minimize
PB-T3  

PROFIBUS Cable Tester: PB-T3

The PB-T3 PROFIBUS Cable Tester is a universal measuring instrument for analysis, monitoring, error finding and maintenance of PROFIBUS systems.

PB-T3 PROFIBUS Cable Tester for the electrical signal quality of PROFIBUS devices and networks

  • Useful tool for installation, commissioning and maintenance
  • Localizes errors in PROFIBUS cabling as well as defective RS-485 drivers and other electrical errors
  • Non-reactive measurement during operation
  • Master simulator for commissioning
  • Topology scan
  • Integrated driver oscilloscope
  • Customer-specific testing and acceptance protocol
pb bus check  

PROFIBUS DP+PA Protocol Analyzer – buscheck

The buscheck PROFIBUS Protocol Analyzer is an indispensable tool for analyzing and optimizing communication in PROFIBUS networks. It is ideally suited for continuously monitoring a network, detecting hidden errors early on, optimizing data throughput and analyzing configuration errors.

  • Protocol analysis for PROFIBUS DP and PA networks and devices
  • Detection of a live list (list of all active stations on the bus) and displaying in the form of a tree structure
  • Extensive online diagnosis of all key parameters of a PROFIBUS DP network (incl. master and slaves)
  • Effective logging and display filters
  • Extensive trigger functions
  • Telegram decoding for FDL, DP, DP-V1, DP-V2
  • Telegram logging, also as long-term logging
  • Automatical generation of a report about the test result
  • Intuitive user interface in English and German language
  • USB interface PROFIBUS Probe with diagnosis logic for precise results
  • Simultaneous Analysis of DP + PA at the same time
feldbus-leckstromzange  

Fieldbus Shield Digital Leakage Current Clamp

Detection of improper shield currents resulting from earthing, equipotential bonding or EMC problems.

  • Differential current measurement
  • Leakage current measurement
  • Voltage and resistance measurement
  • Frequency range for AC current / voltage 40 Hz...1 kHz
  • Acoustical continuity test
  • MIN/MAX and relative value measurement
  • Manual selection of the measurement range
  • Integrated data hold
  • Additional analogue bargraph display
  • Clamp opening 30 mm

PROFIBUS Inspector BC 502 PB  

PROFIBUS-Inspektor®:
Continuous Bus Monitoring, Condition-based Maintenance

The PROFIBUS-Inspektor® BC-502-PB is a powerful tool for early detection of developing problems on PROFIBUS networks. By continuously monitoring all traffic on the bus, it reliably detects even slow, initially uncritical deteriorations in the bus communication. If maintenance action is required, the tool automatically alerts the operational staff. This allows implementing a conditionbased maintenance strategy that reduces operator intervention to when it is needed.

  • Device drop & add
  • Device errors/diagnostics
  • Error frames
  • Retransmissions
