Profibus master device

[caddymac]

Greetings!

I am curious if there is an easy and simple Profibus master device to check Profibus devices and cabling for operation.

Obviously there is always the option of putting in a Profibus master card in a PLC, but is there anything that can plug into a computer and use some basic (and easy to use) software?

I found this device: http://www.hms.se/products/products.asp?PID=102&ProductType=Master Simulator

and also this one: https://www.phoenixcontact.com/onli...-oc-itemdetail:pid=2741480&library=usen&tab=1


Anyone have experience with either device?

an old siemens software free of charge:

It is installed on XP, requires Microsoft Excel, works with system boards as CP5512, it will not work with the pC-adapter.

We have a 5-6-7 years old predecessor, and are very satisfied.
