Two models have been added to this firm’s range of Color ScopeMeter Test Tools (photo) with automated test capability for Fieldbus, ProfiBus and other industrial communication protocols. The new models, the ScopeMeter 225C (200 MHz, 2.5 GS/s) and 215C (100 MHz, 1 GS/s), are designed for maintenance specialists who keep automation and process-plant equipment operational. These systems often operate in harsh environments requiring special techniques and tools for maintenance and troubleshooting, including verification of electrical signal quality on industrial buses such as Fieldbus Foundation, CAN-bus (or DeviceNet), Profibus, RS-485, ModBus, ASI and more. The new instruments feature easy signal validation of all critical signal parameters and have floating and fully isolated inputs for true differential signal measurements on 2-wire differential bus systems. — Fluke Corp., Everett, Wash.
