ProfiTrace is an essential tool for maintenance and troubleshooting and is currently the most powerful mobile analyzer for PROFIBUS networks. Thousands of users benefit daily from this tool.
ProfiTrace is easy to use and unites all required elements in one to detect several PROFIBUS faults. The following tools are combined to create one simple solution:
- Bus monitor
- Oscilloscope
- Bar graph
- Topology scan
- Reporting
- DP Master
This outstanding and portable tool boosts the capabilities of service, maintenance and engineering technicians. You can check and troubleshoot the complete PROFIBUS network with simply one software package and one piece of hardware (ProfiCore™ Ultra). This is an enormous reduction in equipment, weight, costs and required knowledge.
Typical failures such as noise, reflections, voltage drops, termination problems, double addresses, wire breaks and configuration faults are easily identified.
The results can be exported to detailed reports. Predictive maintenance and asset management are simple with ProfiTrace.

Measuring
Live List
"Colors 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
Statistics matrix and network condition indicator
"Click and go….."
The statistics matrix and network condition indicator are the most powerful features of ProfiTrace. These fields can really tell what the condition of the installation is without doing difficult operations.
- Retry messages
- Bus cycle time
- Diagnostic messages
- Message recording
Message recording
"The absolute truth....."
When the user records messages, he has a perfect visual representation on the screen;
- FDL, DP, DP-V1, DP-V2, PA and I&M telegrams
- Messages can be filtered and stored
- Data interpretation of bits, bytes, words
- Error detection
- Bookmarks
