Diagnostic Monitor for PROFIBUS PA (BC-230-PB)
Quick and Easy Bus Testing
The Diagnostic Monitor is a versatile tool for testing PROFIBUS PA during operation. It is powered by the fieldbus so that no battery or external power source is required. The monitor is also suitable for use in hazardous areas.
Overview
Universal Application
- Testing of the bus physics
- Verification of stable communication between the bus devices
- Universal tool for setup and commissioning, documentation, acceptance testing, predictive maintenance, and troubleshooting
Very Simple to Use
- Outstanding ease of use based on display and two function buttons ▪ Clear classification of test results as either OK or BAD
- Ideal choice even for less experienced users
Fully Automatic Bus Test
- Automatically powered by fieldbus and start of segment testing without operator intervention after attachment to PROFIBUS PA network
- Information in plain text, if measured data exceeds tolerance limits
- Measurement of segment voltage as well as average noise and peak noise for three frequency ranges
- Reliable detection of short circuits between individual signal wires and cable shield
- Detection of all frame retransmissions and all devices added or dropped during bus operation at field device level
- Determination of current and lowest signal levels of all devices
- No PC or notebook needed for testing the bus
- Internal storage of test data for later transfer to PC
- Detailed test reports in Microsoft Excel or text format

D-Sub Service Interface for PROFIBUS DP
Application example:
Interface for Providing an Access Point to Test PROFIBUS Networks if the D-sub Connectors have no Service Socket or if the Devices are Connected via Terminal Block
Provides an access point for testing PROFIBUS networks if the D-sub connectors have no service socket or if the stations are connected via terminal block.
- Allows Testing the Bus During Operation
- Exchange of Bus Devices at the Beginning or End of the Bus Without Causing Problems on the Bus
Application
The service interface is top hat rail mounted. An external 24 VDC power source is required for power supply to the terminating resistor in the PROFIBUS connector included in the package. The service interface can thus be used as an active bus termination at the beginning or end of the bus. If the PLC allows dropping and adding bus stations on the live bus, the service interface offers the possibility to exchange the first and last bus stations without causing problems on the bus.
Included in Package
PBMB adapter and 90° angled PROFIBUS connector with switchable terminating resistor, strain relief and screw terminal technology.

M12 Service Interface for PROFIBUS DP
Application example:
Interface for Providing an Access Point to Test PROFIBUS Networks With M12 Connectors
Provides an access point for testing PROFIBUS networks with M12 connectors.
- Allows Testing the Bus During Operation
Application
The service interface is inserted between two bus stations. When not in use, the service output of the T piece is closed with an end cap. At baud rates of 1.5 Mbit/s or higher, use the supplied cable to ensure that the required minimum distance between bus stations is maintained.
Included in Package
T piece (protection class IP68) with end cap and a 1 m DP cable fitted with a male/female M12 connector on each end.
