Balluff DeviceNet Analyzer

Balluff’s DeviceNet Analyzer is designed for analysing, commissioning, monitoring and maintaining DeviceNet and CANbus installations. Maintenance technicians, integrators, technical experts or anyone who requires reliable information on the functional status of their DeviceNet system can use the DeviceNet Analyzer to increase the overall efficiency of their facility.

Balluff’s DeviceNet Analyzer can analyse signal square wave quality, monitor overall network health by node, detect the location of cable breaks and short circuits, and locate weak points such as incorrect cable types and lengths and faulty plug connections.

Assisting with making sure the network is healthy during start-up and set-up, it also allows for the health of the network to be documented when the equipment is turned over to the end customer.

The DeviceNet Analyzer can also help with the day-to-day maintenance of DeviceNet installations in multiple ways. It can help identify trouble nodes on the network and, used over time, it can see trends in network health. The device can also be used to check the quality of cables (or field wireable connections), and during downtime troubleshooting, the analyser can help root out the zone where the trouble is occurring.
