The new Profibus Master Simulator is a combination of a UART adapter and the Profibus Master Simulator Software. The Profibus Master Simulator is an easy-to-use software for data exchange with Profibus slaves. Data exchange with the slaves can be done without GSD file. The simulator also has the ability to process GSD files.
User parameters can be edited and configurations can be modified and stored. The Profibus Simulator can scan the entire Profibus network for connected slaves and represent them graphically.
The UART is an ideal converter between Profibus slave and RS232 interface, which is connected directly to the Profibus slaves. The I/O data and Profibus user diagnostic can be displayed in binary, hexidecimal and ASCII code. The new version of the Profibus Simulator supports Profibus DP V1. The Profibus slave can operate an acyclic mode DP V1, which is helpful for commissioning complex field devices. DLL drivers for Windows 95/98/2000/XP and Windows NT is supported by the program.
