Procentec ProfiTrace 2 is still the most powerful analyzer for PROFIBUS networks. The very latest generation in bus monitoring technology, combining all primary tools :- - Busmonitor - Oscilloscope - Bar graph - Topology Scan - Reporting - DP Master and - OPC Server
Technicians can check and troubleshoot a complete PROFIBUS network with 1 software package on your laptop PC and 1 piece of extra hardware - 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 at 12 Mbps.
ProfiTrace is an essential tool for maintenance, commissioning and troubleshooting as well as product development. Typical 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 be exported to detailed reports which are accepted by the industry. Predictive maintenance and asset management are really possible with ProfiTrace! This outstanding tool that fits in your pocket, will boost the capabilities of service, maintenance and engineering technicians.
Not only can Hi-Port supply these super kits, but we can also help you to install, set-up and get started, with our comprehensive ProfiTrace User Training Courses - the fastest and easiest way of getting your new ProfiTrace kit up and running for ongoing fault-finding and maintenance checks!
Please note that you can now run your ProfiCore/ProfiTrace from the new Procentec Mercury Industrial Tablet - with up to 2.5 hours operation from the internal Mercury battery. This allows one platform to be used for both PROFIBUS and PROFINET commissioning and diagnostic work!

"Colours make it easy….."
The Live List is a matrix that continuously lists all the available devices. It is directly visible which devices are ‘troublemakers’. With different background colours the status of the devices is displayed; • Green: Device is in Data Exchange • Yellow: Device is lost • Red: Parameter fault • Purple: Configuration fault • No colour: Not in Data Exchange The Live List can also generate the product name of the devices when a diagnostic message is captured (synchronized with the GSD library).
|
"Click and go….."
The statistics matrix is the most powerful feature of the analyzer. This field can really indicate what the condition of the installation is. It displays all the important information that a user, especially a maintenance technician is really interested in; • Retry messages. • Fall-outs. • Bus cycle time. • Diagnostic messages, etc.
Because of this feature, the user does not have to inspect messages or do difficult operations to ensure the quality of the installation.
If the statistics do NOT show deviations, the installation is essentially OK!!!
|
"The absolute truth....."
When the user records messages, he has a perfect visual representation on the screen;
• Visualization of FDL, DP, DP-V1, DP-V2, PA and I&M messages • Messages can be filtered and stored • Data interpretation of bytes, words, floating points, etc. • Error detection and highlighting emphasis
• Optional event triggered recording options • Bookmarks

"The easiest oscilloscope ever....."
With the built in oscilloscope we can detect; noise, reflections, termination problems, etc.
• Time scale: 50 ns to 500 ms • Voltage scale: 0.5 to 5 V per DIV • Adjustable cursors (showing voltage and time) • Differential (B-A) and single ended (A and/or B line) measurements • Trigger per device or free running • Trigger features: start of response, request message and voltage level • Bit interpretation engine
|
  |
 |
• All features of ScopeWare DP • Max. 33 V DC • Max. 1.2 V AC • AC and DC can be displayed simultaneously • Detects missing termination • PA Probe Ultra required
|
  |
 |
The bar graph is a helpful utility to get an impression of the overall signal quality of the network.
• Shows driver voltages for all connected devices • Average, Minimum and Maximum signal levels per device • Colour indication of the signal quality • Continuously updated
|
PROFIBUS • 12 Mbps (all baudrates) • Galvanic isolated PROFIBUS interface • Latest RS 485 technology
Oscilloscope • Frequency: 2 x 192 MHz • Bandwidth: 100 MHz • Differential measurement: -9 to +9 V • Single ended: -4.5 to +8 V • Synch available for external scope
Others • High-speed USB 2.0 interface • External power supply possible if required
