Diagnostic Monitor for PROFIBUS PA (BC-230-PB)

Quick and Easy Bus Testing

The Diagnostic Monitor is a versatile tool for testing PROFIBUS PA during operation. It is powered by the fieldbus so that no battery or external power source is required. The monitor is also suitable for use in hazardous areas.

Overview

Universal Application

• Testing of the bus physics
• Verification of stable communication between the bus devices
• Universal tool for setup and commissioning, documentation, acceptance testing, predictive maintenance, and troubleshooting

Very Simple to Use

• Outstanding ease of use based on display and two function buttons ▪ Clear classification of test results as either OK or BAD
• Ideal choice even for less experienced users

Fully Automatic Bus Test

• Automatically powered by fieldbus and start of segment testing without operator intervention after attachment to PROFIBUS PA network
• Information in plain text, if measured data exceeds tolerance limits
• Measurement of segment voltage as well as average noise and peak noise for three frequency ranges
• Reliable detection of short circuits between individual signal wires and cable shield
• Detection of all frame retransmissions and all devices added or dropped during bus operation at field device level
• Determination of current and lowest signal levels of all devices
• No PC or notebook needed for testing the bus
• Internal storage of test data for later transfer to PC
