ProfiTrace – Mobile PROFIBUS Combi-Analyser
ProfiTrace is an essential tool for maintenance and troubleshooting and is currently the most powerful mobile analyser for PROFIBUS networks. Thousands of users benefit daily from this tool.
The PROFIBUS Troubleshooting Toolkits are the ideal cases for troubleshooting and maintenance in PROFIBUS networks.
The ProfiCore Ultra and all necessary supporting products are included to help you do your work in the most efficient way possible.
Product Information
This outstanding and portable tool boosts the capabilities of service, maintenance, and engineering technicians. You can check and troubleshoot the complete PROFIBUS network with simply one software package and one piece of hardware (ProfiCore™ Ultra). This is an enormous reduction in equipment, weight, costs, and required knowledge.
Typical failures such as noise, reflections, voltage drops, termination problems, double addresses, wire breaks, and configuration faults are easily identified.
The results can be exported to detailed reports. Predictive maintenance and asset management are simple with ProfiTrace.

Live List
“Colours make it easy…”
The Live List is a matrix that continuously lists all the available devices. It is directly visible which devices are ‘troublemakers’. With different background colours the status of the devices is displayed:
- Green: Device is in Data Exchange
- Yellow: Device is lost
- Red: Parameter fault
- Purple: Configuration fault
- No colour: Not in Data Exchange
Statistics matrix and network condition indicator
“Click and go…”
The statistics matrix and network condition indicator are the most powerful features of ProfiTrace. These fields can really tell what the condition of the installation is without doing difficult operations.
- Retry messages
- Bus cycle time
- Diagnostic messages
- Message recording
