 Softing launched the new Profibus Diag Suite and BC-600-PB
worldwide on 01 July 2010.
 A stand-alone demonstration version of Profibus Diag Suite can be
downloaded for free from Softing´s website. This software includes demo
record files, which can be used to show the features of the tool
• You do not need a Profibus network for the presentation
• You can simulate the analysis of typical network failures, without
using a physical network
 This document will help you to install and run the demo software.

4. Open Demo Project
7
 Select the requested demo file by clicking on the respective bookmarks

click on „1-Netzstatus_Networkstatus .npb“
First overview with one mouse click. Potential problems are clearly
indicated and distinguished by bus communication or bus physics.
+
Select „Busanfang“ as
test location
4 windows for easy
operation:
• Overview
• Protocol,
• Bus Physics
• Topology
First indication:
or
Green light indicates:
All values are okay
=> Traffic light is green
„Communication is okay“
Green light indicates:
„bus physics are okay“
Result: Everything looks good if measured from the master !
All quality levels above
limit
=> Traffic light is green

Now select „Busende 15“ as test location
First indication:
There is a problem !
Green light indicates:
All values are okay
=> Traffic light is green
© Softing Industrial Automation GmbH 2010
5. Profibus-DIAG Suite
The Overview Window (contd.)
„Communication is okay“
yellow light indicates:
„bus physics are critical
while bus is running“
All critical values are
marked by red ink:
In this case 5 out of 7
Stations show bad quality
=> Traffic light is yellow
Result: Measurement from other end indicates bad signal quality.
Check Signal Quality for further details !
10
Click on „Signal Quality“
Click on „Signal Analysis
Settings“ for sorting bar graph
Click on „Stations“ and select
„Auto sort by distance“
Result: bars will be sorted acc. to the correct topology for easy interpretation!
This is a unique feature !

The Signal Quality Window
11
Make Reflections visible:
Select „Busende 15“
A Double Click on bar #2 opens
the oscilloscope view
Select „Busanfang 2“
Result:
Reflections on the bus
Worst situation at „Busende 15“
strong refections
smaller refections

The Signal Quality Window (contd.)
Localize the failure with
the Oscilloscope:
Select „Busende 15“
Click on bar #2
increase zoom to 62,5 ns
Place cursor 1 to rising flank
Place cursor 2 to distortion
=> Now you can read the distance
from measuring point „Busende
15“ to the point where the
reflection is caused: 22,8 m
Distance 22,8 m
13
Now you can compare the
distances between the
failure and the different
stations:
Click on bar #2
Place cursors
Now distance is 22,8 m
Click on bar #12
Place cursors
Now distance is only 12,5 m
Click on bar #15 (Busend)
Now distance is 0 m and no
distortion
Result: the reflections are caused
at end of bus at #15 (missing terminator).
Consequently no reflections can be seen there.

Click on „Topology“
The topology view gives you:
- the correct sequence of the Profibus nodes
- the distance between the nodes
- the complete cable length

7. Profibus-DIAG Suite
The Topology Window
15
Click on „Protocol“
Click on Segment View
Life List
Green = data exchange okay
Yellow = slave reports diagnose
Orange = config or param failure
Red = no answer, node is dead
Blue = node not configured in
Master
Bus cycle time
Number of Retries, Diagnose, Restarts
indicate early problems in the network
Log for starting up communication
between master and slaves

The Protocol Window
16
By clicking on the slaves you get
specific info on each device.
Click through the slaves to show
different diagnose messages of
different slaves in clear text (not only
hex strings)
Check GSD-file configuration:
Expected GSD = real GSD ?
If not => configuration failure
Configuration can be seen under
configuration bookmark
Large variation of Station Delay Times
indicates a problem of the slave
Log file of the selected slave
If you prefer the matrix overview,
you may use this as well:
- Click on segment
- Select „Station Statistics“
- You can display all events or select
„retries“, „diagnose“, „set parameters“
for each node

The „Project Window“ offers an easy
filing of your records
You will find further record files for
demonstration in the „Project View“
- Place the cursor on „projects“ tag:
=>The project view opens
- you may lock the window to avoid
automatic closing
- open „Projects“-filer
- Select e.g. „Diagnose-Repeater.rpb“
with some nice examples of diagnose
messages

Toggle between protocol and
signal quality report by
selecting pages
Protocol Report:
- life list and status of nodes
- retries, diagnose, set parameter
for each node
Signal Quality Report:
- min, max, avrg value per node
- bar graphs from all test locations
- oscilloscope charts

 Quick and simple overview on the network status (includes both
communication and signal quality) with just one mouse click.
PB-DIAG Suite + BC-600-PB are also made for service personel, and not
just for „experts“.
No other tool offers such an easy approach to Profibus Analysis.
 The Diagnose Mode for Protocol Analysis:
-> complete decoding of relevant parameters and diagnose messages
instead of Hex strings.
 Physical Analysis:
-> signal quality bar graphs sorted by real topology BC-600-PB
offers a simple and unique way of analysis without relying on
oscilloscopes.
 -> Unique stand-alone-mode (without PC), enables monitoring of the
network to determine whether detailed diagnose is required.
