PROFIBUS Scope

Professional Diagnosis Tool for Ad-hoc Troubleshooting and FAT/SAT Measurements

Due to its clearly arranged Four-Window design with graphical status display and diagnosis messages in plaintext, all relevant information on network status and network stations is available at one single glance. Any occurring failures can be identified in a quick and targeted way. The flexibly adaptable hardware concept of the PROFIBUS Scope enables not only connection via Siemens standard hardware for on-site measurements, but also plant-wide network monitoring via Ethernet.
Temporary or permanent measurement access throught the xEPI 2 mounted on a top-hat rail supports preventive maintenance of PROFIBUS networks. Automatic documentation of measurement results is a great benefit particularly during commissioning and also for reference and comparison measurements. It is due to this feature that the PROFIBUS Scope is recommended as qualified testing tool for plant commissioning (e.g. in pharmaceutical industries) both in manufacturer-specific specifications and in the PNO Guideline: "Validation of PROFIBUS Systems".
