BT 200 Bus Tester - Check the physical bus design of the PROFIBUS network at the end of the installation phase. Installation errors can be detected quickly and without any effort; no special knowledge of PROFIBUS is required. It is an invaluable assistance when installing distributed automation solutions with PROFIBUS.
BT 200:
Check electrical PROFIBUS networks also without a connected master
Minimizing errors during installation and commissioning
Easy to operate even without special PROFIBUS knowledge
Finds installation errors within seconds
Reduces commissioning and service times and increases plant availability
Optional logging kits available for compiling acceptance reports/documentation
Choice of 6 languages
For installers, start-up engineers and service personnel
Checking the PROFIBUS cable:
Cable break/interruption in the shield
Short-circuits between lines or between line and shield
Determining the location of fault in case of breakage/shorting of data lines
Detecting reflections that may cause a fault
Swapping of conductors A, B
Determining the length of the installed cable Checking slave accessibility
Listing of accessible slaves
Specific addressing of individual slaves
Number of inserted terminators
Checking the RS 485 interface of slaves/masters:
Checking for established slaves
All slaves who have been established on a PROFIBUS link are listed in a life list. Individual slaves can also be specifically addressed to check their communications capability.
Logging functions
Using the additional logging kit, all test results can be transmitted to a PC where they can be viewed and saved as a clear test report. This permits e.g. fast, simple generation of acceptance reports or documentation.
