PROFIBUS audit procedure and checklist

5 March 2024

Conducting a PROFIBUS audit can provide valuable insights into the health and performance of your network.

It can help identify issues in the network, such as faulty devices, improper cabling, or configuration errors, that could lead to system failures, downtime, or reduced productivity.

IDX created this PROFIBUS Audit Procedure and Checklist to provide the technical insight required to examine the installation and assembly of PROFIBUS networks.

This document covers the audit requirements, tools required, and audit procedure. It contains a simple yet effective checklist that discusses the crucial elements when conducting an inspection.

We hope that you find it useful!
