PROFIBUS Fundamentals, Diagnostics and Network Troubleshooting
A comprehensive course for technicians who want to understand how PROFIBUS networks work and independently solve problems in industrial plants.
- communication, topologies, cabling and network segmentation,
- connectors, repeaters and correct installation,
- measurement of cabling and communication quality,
- analysis of waveforms and diagnostic data,
- planning repairs and improving network robustness.
Practical Work with the ProfiTrace2 Tester
An intensive practical course for ProfiTrace2 owners and users who want to make better use of its functions and correctly interpret measurement results.
- a clear procedure for measuring and assessing a network,
- diagnostics of PROFIBUS DP cabling and communication,
- identification of interference and termination or cabling faults,
- location of damaged connectors and stations,
- fault simulation on a portable PROFIBUS network.
Training Based on Real-World Experience
The courses are led by FOXON specialists who regularly diagnose industrial networks in manufacturing plants. Participants therefore work not only with theoretical examples, but also with faults and unstable conditions based on real industrial situations.
By agreement, the one-day ProfiTrace2 course can also be held at your company. We can bring our own portable PROFIBUS network or include measurements on your machines and production technologies.
Who the Courses Are For
- electrical maintenance personnel,
- service and diagnostic technicians,
- PLC programmers,
- system integrators,
- technical maintenance managers.
How should you choose?
We recommend the two-day course for a comprehensive understanding of PROFIBUS networks. The one-day course focuses primarily on effective practical use of the ProfiTrace2 tester.

Review: ProfiTrace2 – Part 2: Most Common PROFIBUS Faults
Another part of the series on the ProfiTrace2 analyzer for PROFIBUS networks, where we’ll show what the most common faults look like and how and where they appear in the analyzer. This is where things really start to get interesting. At the end, there are also some videos where you can clearly see how the signal changes—for example during a short circuit on the line. The analyzer review was prepared by Jaroslav Blažek (blaja.cz).
Review: ProfiTrace2 – Part 1: What Does a PROFIBUS Network Really Look Like? An Analyzer Can Help
PROFIBUS—a robust communication network found in thousands of industrial systems. It has been used for years and still plays an important role in automation. But what happens when a problem occurs? Is it really enough to watch the green LEDs on the peripherals and trust that everything is fine? Unfortunately not. That’s why we invite you to read Jaroslav Blažek’s reviews of the ProfiTrace2 tool.
PROFIBUS: 3 Sins and 10 Tips
The PROFIBUS industrial bus is highly tolerant and will forgive many faults. But if a critical fault occurs—or several small ones accumulate—you will definitely notice. That’s why this aging industrial network deserves attention. Even if faults on your network are still rare, they will gradually accumulate. What do our technicians recommend? What are their 10 tips for maintaining PROFIBUS?
The 3 Biggest Killers of the PROFINET Industrial Network
Our engineers perform diagnostics of industrial networks in hundreds of manufacturing companies. They travel across the country to find the causes of failures. We have asked them what problems they have most frequently diagnosed in customers' PROFINET networks recently. What have they told us?
