  ProfiTrace 2 - PROFIBUS AnalyzerDESCRIPTION:
ProfiTrace 2 is the most powerful analyzer for PROFIBUS networks available.
The ProfiTrace 2 family is the next generation of busmonitor technology from
PROCENTEC in the Netherlands. It combines all primary troubleshooting
tools to one: Analyzer, Oscilloscope, Bar graph and DP-V0/V1 Master. Using
the new ProfiCore Ultra communications module, you simply plug one side into a
USB port on your PC, and the other side to your PROFIBUS network.
The ProfiTrace 2 Family of software (ProfiTrace 2, Scopeware and
ProfiCaptain 2) runs on your PC and will help you find any problem in your
PROFIBUS network quickly and easily.. This tool is designed to be easy
enough for end-users but powerful enough for installers and development engineers too.
Now you can check and troubleshoot the complete
PROFIBUS network with 1 software package and 1 piece of hardware. This results
in an enormous reduction in equipment, weight, costs and required knowledge.
The advanced USB hardware (ProfiCore Ultra) is internally equipped with a
high speed digital oscilloscope and able to capture bus signals running up to the maximum PROFIBUS speed of 12
Mbps.
ProfiTrace 2 is an essential tool for maintenance, commissioning and
troubleshooting as well as product development. Classical PROFIBUS failures such as
noise, reflections, voltage drops, termination problems, double addresses, wire
breaks and configuration faults are easily identified. Random errors such as
overshoots, error telegrams, repeats and diagnostics can also be captured and
logged. The results can also be exported to detailed reports. Predictive
maintenance and asset management are now really
possible!
This amazing tool is small enough to fit in your pocket and powerful enough to boost the limits and
capabilities of service, maintenance and engineering technicians.
ProfiTrace 2 now integrates two other optional
programs into a single user interface. The ProfiTrace 2 family
consists of the ProfiTrace 2 Software, and the optional ScopeWare and
ProfiCaptain 2.
PROFITRACE 2 FEATURES:
By itself (without the optional ScopeWare and ProfiCaptain 2),
ProfiTrace 2 software provides multiple "views" of your network, including the "Live
List", the "Messages" view, the "Station Statistics View"
and the "Data Inspection" view. This enhanced
version of of the original ProfiTrace allows you to quickly find: Repeats,
Fall-outs, Corrupted messages, Diagnostics, Cycle time, and more.
Live List:
Colorful representation of detected devices with
real-time updates.
Advice & warnings: Ident number mismatch, Watchdog
not set, Illegal configuration
Last diagnostic, parameter, configuration and data-exchange message.
GSD file management for product and diagnostic identification.
Messages View:
Colorful visualization of FDL, DP, DP-V1, DP-V2, PA and I&M messages.
Messages can be filtered and stored.
Data interpretation engine (byte, word, floating point, etc.).
Error detection.
Bookmarks.
Station Statistics View:
Powerful statistics for every error and device (repeats, fall outs, etc.).
Seventeen (17) different statistics are tracked for each PROFIBUS node.
Data Inspection View:
Helps you further break down captured messages into more meaningful representations.
Can be used to permanently show the latest captured data in a variety of formats and views
SCOPEWARE FEATURES:
The optional ScopeWare is the major
breakthrough in the new ProfiTrace 2 family. The oscilloscope
hardware is built into the new ProfiCore Ultra, and the ScopeWare software
allows you view the integrated scope right on your PC screen.
Features include:
Time scale: 50 ns to 500 ms.
Voltage scale: 0.5 to 5 V per DIV.
Cursor measurement lines (voltage and time).
Differential (B-A) and single ended (A and/or B line) measurements.
Free running or trigger per device
Trigger features: start of response or request message.
ProfiCore Ultra features:
Frequency: 192 MHz.
Bandwith: 100 MHz.
Differential measurement: -9 to +9 V.
Single ended: -4.5 to +8 V.
In addition, you get these great bar graph features:
Average, Min. and Max. signal levels per device.
Color indicates the quality of the signal.
Continuously updated.
COMPLETE PACKAGE FEATURES:
Simple USB port connection and software installation
Essential for commissioning, troubleshooting, and maintenance
Finds faults like double addresses, wire-breaks, configuration faults, data overshots, damaged messages, retries and diagnostics are captured and logged.
Analyzer with powerful statistics Enhanced version of ProfiTrace 1: Repeats,
Fall-outs, Corrupted messages, Diagnostics, Cycle time, etc.
High speed digital oscilloscope (with optional ScopeWare) provides Differential voltage, A-line, B-line, Noise,
Overshoots, Reflections, Triggers.
Bar graphs (with optional ScopeWare) Average, Min. and Max. values of the bus signals per device.
Reporting Automatic generation of detailed reports that are accepted by the
industry.
Optional DP-V0/V1 master ProfiCaptain 2 has been completely integrated with even more
features.
