 ProfiTrace is the most powerful mobile analyzer for PROFIBUS networks. It s an essential tool for maintenance and troubleshooting. Thousands of users benefit daily from this great tool because it is easy to use and combines all required elements in one to detect most PROFIBUS faults;
 Busmonitor
Oscilloscope
Bar graph
Topology scan
Reporting
DP master
This outstanding tool that fits in your pocket, boosts the capabilities of service, maintenance and engineering technicians. They can check and troubleshoot the complete PROFIBUS network with 1 software package and 1 piece of hardware (ProfiCore™ Ultra). This is an enormous reduction in equipment, weight, costs and required knowledge.
Typical failures such as noise, reflections, voltage drops, termination problems, double addresses, wire breaks and configuration faults are easily identified.
The results can be exported to detailed reports. Predictive maintenance and asset management are really possible with ProfiTrace!

| Live List |
|
|
"Colors make it easy….."
The Live List is a matrix that continuously lists all the available devices. It is directly visible which devices are ‘troublemakers’. With different background colours the status of the devices is displayed;
- Green: Device is in Data Exchange
- Yellow: Device is lost
- Red: Parameter fault
- Purple: Configuration fault
- No colour: Not in Data Exchange
|
| Statistics matrix and network condition indicator |
