with 1 VARAN In
1 VARAN Out
1 Ethernet
The VA 011 S-DIAS VARAN Analyzer module allows the analy-
sis of communication in a real-time Ethernet VARAN bus net-
work. The connection is made over a free VARAN port. If no port
is available, an existing VARAN bus connection can simply be
removed and the VARAN Analyzer inserted. The data to analyze
are output through a Gigabit Ethernet port and can be evaluated
with the VARAN Service Tool. The option is also available to an-
alyze the data via Wireshark and protocol plug-in from
SIGMATEK.
