ProfiTrace training

7 April 2024

ProfiTrace is a diagnostics bus monitor for PROFIBUS DP and PA networks. In this webinar, we discuss the ProfiTrace software package, explain all the modules within the package and how they can be utilised to diagnose any PROFIBUS Fault. The session includes a practical live demonstration.

The following topics are discussed:

Setting up a PROFIBUS DP network using ProfiCaptain
Live List modules, statistics and message recording functions
Overview page use and application demonstration
Scopeware use and application demonstration
Bargraph use and application demonstration
Topology detection use and application demonstration

We also briefly discuss the permanent PROFIBUS monitoring solution called ComBricks and take a high-level look at its functions.
