Compatibility Testing

Ensuring compatibility of different aspects of a Profibus Network is important for reducing project risk of a new installation.

• Most compatibility issues arise during the commissioning, rather than at the design verification stage.
• APPC can offer a service by configuring Profibus networks as per a desired requirement to allow the user to assess and confirm performance.

The Australian Profibus Competency Centre can help ensure that all selected components of a network are interoperable. APCC can structure a network to suit a proposed design so that engineers, plant managers, operators and maintenance staff can view the interaction of the system.

APCC structure networks as per your selection of equipment and test the compatibility of interoperating devices and components. This can be done prior to purchasing equipment utilising APCC’s extensive range of products.

Importantly, APCC remain vendor independent and are used as a flexible resource to help mitigate risk at the design verification stage.

"Offline" testing shortens commissioning and FAT time, enhances design verification risk mitigation strategies and allows your organisation to work effectively and confidently with the implementation of higher levels of automation.
