Fieldbus health test instrument

The ScopeMeter models 225C and 215C include the features of the 199C Color ScopeMeter, and are designed for maintenance specialists who keep automation equipment operational. The instruments feature signal validation of critical signal parameters such as amplitude and noise, and have floating and fully isolated inputs for true differential signal measurements on 2-wire differential bus systems.

The ScopeMeter models 225C and 215C include the features of the 199C Color ScopeMeter, and are designed for maintenance specialists who keep automation equipment operational. The instruments feature signal validation of critical signal parameters such as amplitude and noise, and have floating and fully isolated inputs for true differential signal measurements on 2-wire differential bus systems. They allow users to verify the electrical integrity of buses and networks. Users can verify electrical signal quality on industrial buses such as Foundation fieldbus, CAN-bus, DeviceNet, Profi, RS-485, ModBus and ASI.
