PROFIBUS Tester BC-700-PB - User Manual

Troubleshooting

Problem

Causes and remedies

The display of the
PROFIBUS Tester 5
remains blank.

Possible cause:

The PROFIBUS Tester 5 either needs an external power
supply or you have to install the built-in battery.

Remedy:

Use the supplied external AC adapter to connect the tool to
the mains power supply.

Charge the built-in battery

Alternative cause:

The tool is defective.

The rechargeable battery is defective

Remedy:

Return the tool to the manufacturer.

Replace the rechargeable battery

The display shows the
following error
message: "USB
ERROR - Refer to
manual or disconn. for
stand-alone mode".

Possible cause:

This error message can be caused by poor physical
connection via USB ("loose" contact).

Remedy:

Check the USB cable and connector.

Alternative cause:

The device may be connected via external USB hub,
notebook docking stations or USB 3.0 port which could
evoke problems during driver installation

Remedy:

It is recommended to connect the unit directly to a USB 2.0
port

The baud rate is not
detected automatically
on a live PROFIBUS.

Possible cause:

Massive disturbances in the bus physics.

Remedy:

Manually set the baud rate and repeat the test.

A main menu function
is grayed out or is not
visible respectively

Possible cause:

Missing license

Out-dated firmware version is in use

Remedy:

Please check your bill of delivery if the license is included in
your order.

Please download the latest firmware version
