The Right Hardware
as the Perfect Complement to your Swabianware

The effective and universally applicable diagnostics tool The PROFIBUS-Tester BC-700 with oscilloscope view in stand-alone mode is a measuring device which allows a full and reactionless testing of PROFIBUS segments during operation. Thus, even sporadic interferences are detected. Furthermore, the integrated master simulator allows testing the bus without the need for an operational readiness of the PLC. Thus, even single »suspicious« bus devices can be tested. Perfect fields of application Installation, bringing into service, documentation, acceptance and optimization of PROFIBUS networks For preventive maintenance Debugging and testing field devices Varied ranges of application On connection to a PROFIBUS-DP segment, the baudrate respectively the idle voltage is automatically detected.The PROFIBUS-Tester BC-700 can either be operated via PC/Notebook or alternatively self-sufficiently via a four-line display and the four function keys.The display and detail analysis of the measuring results is effected on the PC with the free operating software PB DIAG Suite.With the PROFIBUS-Tester BC-700, bringing into service times can be reduced. Later in service, the plant availability can be ensured and therefore be increased due to regular preventive testings. And if there are interferences anyway, the PROFIBUS-Tester BC-700 will locate the problem fast and securely. In this way, an unscheduled idleness can at least be reduced. Convincing and varied The PROFIBUS-Tester BC-700 provides extra-reliable measuring results by what field bus problems can simply and securely be detected and solved. It is the first measuring device which differs accurately if there are physical problems, e.g. with cables or connectors, or if there is a communication problem with the PLC or a bus device.
