A link provided by Dchartier in the "Shielding and grounding of Profibus" thread pointed to ProfiCoach software app that is a Profibus PA master when used with a communciations card. Interesting approach for monitoring a DP highway.
Questions:
1) Is there a similar free or inexpensive app for Profibus DP devices, that would be a master to view performance of and also configure DP devices?
Something like Siemens PDM, which we use with a HART modem (for HART devices), but which talks Profibus?
2) Is the CP5512 card a PCI card for a desktop?
Are there USB comm cards for laptops ?
