Connection for Testing a Live Bus 

To test a live PROFIBUS with the PROFIBUS Tester 4 during operation, 
appropriate connection possibilities have to be provided. If no suitable 
connection points are available in the existing installation, it is recommended 
to install them during system shutdown. This will make future maintenance 
work much easier. 
 

Attention: When installing additional connection points, you divide the 
bus. Before doing so, you therefore need to shut down the PLC and 
all the devices connected to the PROFIBUS; in other words, you need 
to shut down the whole installation. 

 
 

Attention: For testing on live systems the optional D-sub adapter 
cable  BC-600-PB-CB-DSUB-1  with reduced influence on bus 
operation is highly recommended! See page
