ProfiCoach V 1.3, available free-of-charge, is PROFIBUS PC master software. It allows the easy testing of a PROFIBUS-DP system for correct function. With ProfiCoach inputs can be displayed, outputs set manually and diagnostic messages from PROFIBUS stations can be output to the screen. The reading and writing of acyclic DP-V1 data is also possible. The use of ProfiCoach is particularly appreciated during training courses.
ProfiCoach uses SIMATIC NET network planning from Siemens, requires a PROFIBUS PC card from Siemens (CP5611, CP5613, CP5511, CP5512 etc.) and the appropriate SIMATIC licence for the PROFIBUS protocol.
