PROFIBUS

Our test equipment helps engineers to quickly verify new PROFIBUS network wiring, fault-find in failed systems and allows preventive maintenance screening for weaknesses which might cause later operational difficulties.

Due to their robust communications arrangements PROFIBUS systems can automatically overcome occasional partial equipment failures, or message corruptions. This system resilience can hide associated weaknesses from the operators, giving them no idea of such failings and problems, which may later, if not addressed, lead to more serious loss of functionality, or even total system failure. When properly used by expert staff, Procentec ProfiTrace and our other instruments, can help maintainers to regularly review network status, allowing identification, measurement and tracking of network performance weaknesses and other potential problems, so that these can be corrected before they can impact on overall system operation.

In addition to test equipment for PROFIBUS, PROFINET and AS-i networks, we also offer the versatile and useful range of Procentec PROFIBUS Hubs and Repeaters, including the A5, B5, C5 and new COMbricks.

We offer a wide range of PROFIBUS DP, PROFIBUS PA and PROFINET cables to cater for different application requirements. In addition to the Standard Fast Connect (FC) PROFIBUS DP cable for most fixed installations, we also cater for underground cable, anti-rodent cable, flexible cable, trailing cable, festoon cable, EMC cable and armoured cable.

PROFIBUS PA cables, mostly with blue or black outer sheaths, have heavier gauge conductors, and are offered with solid conductors for fixed installations or stranded conductors for flexible application and with further EMC and direct burial options. We can supply in standard reel or cut lengths, as needed, often with next day delivery available. Please call to discuss your particular requirements.

We offer a flexible range of PROFIBUS Fault-finding and network audit services, together with ProfiTrace user training.
