This tool for machine builders and integrators and manufacturing IT technicians assists with making sure the network is healthy during startup and setup. It also allows for the health of the network to be documented when the equipment is turned over to the end customer. Anyone who requires reliable information on the functional status of their DeviceNet system can analyze signal square wave quality, monitor overall network health by nod, detect the location of cable breaks and short circuits, and locate weak points such as incorrect cable types, lengths and faulty plug connections. The DeviceNet Analyzer can also help with the day to day maintenance of DeviceNet installations by identifying trouble nodes on the network and checking the quality of cables (or field wireable connections). During downtime troubleshooting, the analyzer can help root out the zone where the trouble is occurring.
