1 Introduction
1.1 General
The PROFI-TM Professional is a powerful tool that allows full testing of
PROFIBUS DP segments. The tool reliably detects even transient faults that
occur only sporadically.
Using the integrated master simulator, you can also test the bus if the PLC is
currently not in operation, or individually check “suspicious” bus stations.
The tool is powered either through an external AC adapter, by direct connec-
tion to 24 VDC or through an optional portable power supply unit.
1.2 Test Functions
The PROFI-TM Professional automatically detects the baud rate or open
circuit voltage as soon as you connect it to a PROFIBUS DP segment. The
following standard tests are available for simultaneously analyzing the bus
physics and bus communication:
•Quick test
•User-controlled test
•Long-term trend
Additional features (network status):
•Master simulator
•Topology scan
Expert tests (optional):
•Frame analysis
•Oscillogram analysis
•Trigger input/output
1.3 Operating Modes of the Tool
You can connect the PROFI-TM Professional to a PC or notebook, or run it in
stand-alone mode. The PC mode provides all standard and expert tests. You
can also select individual stations you want to test. The stand-alone mode
currently provides the live status and the master simulator mode. In addition,
for the future it is planned to make available the quick test and long-term trend
functions as well as the transfer of test results to the PC.

1.4 PC-Software PROFIBUS Diagnostics Suite
The PROFIBUS Diagnostics Suite allows the display and detailed analysis of
test results on the PC.
Simply connect the PROFI-TM Professional to the USB interface of a PC or
notebook. You can then use the included “PROFIBUS Diagnostics Suite” PC
software (see separate manual) to do the following:
•Perform tests and analyses
•Manage the test results with minimum effort
•Create test reports

3 Optional Accessories
3.1 D-sub adapter cable for testing live systems
This D-sub adapter cable (BC-600-PB-CB-DSUB-1) is optimized for reduced
influence on live PROFIBUS DP segment operations. Thereby it is most
suitable for testing of running plants. The risc of critical influences on bus
operation which can cause a plant standstill is significantly reduced. Attention:
Using this cable it is not possible to use the both active functions master
simulator and topology detection (see page 22).

Order no: 00110189
3.2 Adapter Set for M12 Connection Technology
Using the M12 adapter set, you can connect the PROFI-TM Professional to
field devices with M12 connectors. The set comprises an M12 adapter cable
with special pin layout and an M12 terminating resistor that you can screw on,
if required.

3.3 Fieldbus Shield Digital Leakage Current Clamp
When routing PROFIBUS cables in high-interference environments, electro-
magnetic interference can affect the signal quality. By measuring the shield
currents with the digital leakage current clamp, you can locate EMC problem
areas and take appropriate countermeasures. The digital leakage current

clamp is supplied in a handy case, including measuring cables. There is also
an empty compartment for the fieldbus shield digital leakage current clamp in
the carrying case of the PROFI-TM Professional.

3.4 Portable Power Supply
The portable power supply unit allows up to 4 hours of portable operation. The
power supply kit also includes a charger and a carrying case. Attention: Mains
connector type of charger station available for Europe only.
