FBT-6-PA FIELDBUS MONITOR

The Fieldbus Monitor, FBT-6-PA, is used to examine a live Profibus PA segment without interfering with its operation.  The Fieldbus Monitor is intended for commissioning and for maintenance personnel to verify network operation or to troubleshoot an errant network.

​

Upon connection to the segment the FBT-6-PA provides an overall assessment of segment health.  In addition, addresses, signal levels and retransmit counts can be displayed for all devices on the segment.  A device count, noise measurements, shield short detection, and more are also provided.

​

The FBT-6-PA provides the ability to store and download readings from 8 segments via a USB cable to a PC.  Reference the data sheet below for complete specifications.
