PROFIBUS fault traced with PROFITRACE
Oscilloscope-level PROFITRACE data pinpointed a noisy spur and failing connector, restoring stable comms without a full shutdown.
Outcome
Communications returned to stable operation after targeted connector replacement, avoiding a costly rip-and-replace of the segment.
Highlights
- Captured noise and retries with PROFITRACE to isolate the faulty drop.
- Re-terminated connectors and improved shielding/earthing on the spur.
- Documented trace captures and a health check report for maintenance.
