Hi all.
We are slowly moving away from Profibus towards Profinet.
What I worry about now, is how to diagnose basic hardware faults with Profinet.
With Profinet Topology we can have a detailed error diagnosis telling us that there is a problem with a specific module or port on a module. But how to pinpoint problems relating to noise, earthing, bad cables, etc.
With Profibus we have had our share of problems, and a profibus tester has helped us on occasion. Like this one:

Does something similar exist for ethernet/Profinet ?
What do people do ?
