Using The Bushealth Function
About this Chapter
This chapter provides a step-by-step introduction to the
Bushealth function of the test tool. For extended
information on Fieldbuses and fieldbus measurement
please consult Appendix A of this manual.
Bushealth Function Availability
The Bushealth function is available in the models
Fluke 215C and Fluke 225C.
Introduction
Fieldbuses are bi-directional, digital, serial control
networks used in process control and industrial
automation.
The test tool bushealth function indicates the status of the
following aspects of the OSI model Physical Layer:
• Voltage levels (bias, high level, low level)
• Bit width – baud rate
• Rise and fall time
• Distortion
Moreover the test tool can show the bus signal waveform
in the Eye-pattern mode, see
Figure 46.
