causes. To this end, it provides the following scope of functions:
passive bus coupling during operation
automatic detection of the baud rate used
automatic determination of all stations in the plant (LiveList)
bus-station and measuring-point-related display of the signal conditions:
general quality level (incl. glitch, edge and level errors)
disturbance-free voltage range and edges
oscilloscope display (at least one rising edge)
long-term monitoring (logger) for all stations
continuous display and recording of the current, minimum and maximum bus cycle time
real-time monitoring of the whole data traffic and checking for frame errors
integrated master simulator for checking plants even without master (start-up phase)
determination of the order and distances (line lengths) of the individual stations
real-time-capable hardware trigger output for station-related analysis via DSO
The PBT possesses a USB port for connection to a PC or notebook. The clearly structured PC software pro-
vides for straightforward operation of the device, the performing and evaluation of measurements, and sup-
