iPBMA | Intelligent PROFIBUS Measuring Point

The intelligent PROFIBUS measuring point detects logical errors in data communication and disturbances in signal transmission that are signaled by various light-emitting diodes. This simple analysis allows the network operator to detect communication deterioration early and take troubleshooting measures. To get optimal information on the physical transmission quality, the measuring points have to be provided at the two ends of a segment.

For the purpose of detailed analysis of PROFIBUS communication quality, an additional sub-D socket is available for the use of appropriate diagnostic tools. For a non-interacting connection of a programming device (laptop / field PG) the use of an active programming cable APKA or APKA II is basically recommended. The iPBMA type meets not only the requirements of a non-interacting measuring point and an integrated diagnosis but also fulfills the requirements and the function of an active bus termination.
