PB-Q ONE PROFIBUS Tester & Troubleshooting Tool
The PB-Q ONE is a mobile PROFIBUS diagnostic tool for the complete evaluation of PROFIBUS communication quality including PROFIBUS cables, PROFIBUS signals, and the communication between PROFIBUS PLCs and the PROFIBUS network devices. Its ease of use and clear and automated evaluation of measuring results allow to reliably evaluate the state of the physical and logical transmission quality in the network. In addition, the PB-Q ONE offers a powerful topology function.
The whole PROFIBUS troubleshooting process happens in seconds with precise measuring results which can easily be evaluated with a modern traffic light principal display. The PROFIBUS diagnostic results can be printed and shared or kept as reference points for future PROFIBUS troubleshooting's.
With the PB-Q ONE you will have an affordable and multi-functional device for acceptance, commissioning, diagnostics, maintenance, service, and troubleshooting needs for PROFIBUS DP and PROFIBUS PA networks.
The PB-Q ONE is the best-in-class and most affordable PROFIBUS tester for PROFIBUS networks - PLUG-IN, MEASURE, RESULT!

Mobile PROFIBUS Troubleshooting
The easy-to-use PROFIBUS Tester PB-Q ONE is the best diagnostic tool for your maintenance tool box. Plug in the PB-Q ONE into the PLC PROFIBUS Connector.
PROFIBUS Troubleshooting Features:
- PROFIBUS error display
- PROFIBUS network topology
- Segments with all devices incl. measuring points and repeaters
- PROFIBUS cable length
- PROFIBUS signal quality (signal-to-noise ratio)
- Oscilloscope
- PROFIBUS DP master simulator
- PROFIBUS telegram analyzer
Typical error sources found with PROFIBUS networks which easily can be identified with the PB-Q ONE:
- PROFIBUS cable and PROFIBUS connectors
- EMC grounding and shielding issues
- Excessive PROFIBUS cable length
- PROFIBUS termination
- PROFIBUS baud rate
- Software and device issues
- PROFIBUS communication
- PROFIBUS ghost issues
Measuring Results
In the overview, all PROFIBUS devices are displayed in the form of a device matrix including address and detailed information. The coloring of each devices (green, yellow, red) allows to immediately evaluate the state of each device. Additionally, the results of the PROFIBUS physics and bus communication evaluation are clearly displayed.
Quality Values
PROFIBUS is based on a voltage difference signal which transfers the logical telegram content to the wires A and B. The level of the voltage difference as well as the shape of these signals are indicators of the physical transmission quality respectively the signal quality. As a result a bar chart diagram with a quality value for each device in the network is displayed.
Telegram Mode
Further analysis possibilities are available in the telegram mode. Through a number of filter and trigger options the data traffic can be evaluated based on events or defined data content.
Topology Scan
It is the only tool on the market to offer fully automatic, non-reactive topology scans during a running production. As a result, the PB-Q ONE represents the real wiring of all devices and even identifies repeaters, measuring points and the cable lengths between devices.
