Fast and Easy ASi System Analysis
ASi View is a mobile diagnostic device for your ASi network. You can "snap on" the line very easily and get the current bus status with just one click. With ASi View you can analyze both physical parameters and logical telegram traffic under ongoing production conditions.
Highlights of ASi View
- Immediately ready for operation - no separate power supply required
- Physical evaluation with bar charts
- In-depth analysis with oscilloscope function
- Analysis of telegram traffic
Bus status with one click
A mouse click gives you an overview of the actual communication quality. All determined values are displayed as bar graphs for each station. The bus status of the logical and physical quality parameters is displayed in a way that is easy to understand using color coding, similar to a traffic light function.
Contact with a "notch"
The ASi View can be easily connected to the ASi bus with the supplied M12 adapter cable and the ASi measurement adapter (ASiMA) connection accessory. The adapter required for this is simply attached to the ASi cable. The immediate vicinity of the mast and the respective ends of the individual ASi segments is recommended as a measurement location.
Physical Evaluation
The measured value (bar height) should not fall below the preset quality limit of 100%. Each bar is an image of the bit shape resulting from the time response and level of the transmitted signal per station.
In-depth Analysis
For in-depth analysis there is an integrated oscilloscope with which EMC disturbances, waveform problems and reflections can be detected for each participant. Additionally, an "eye diagram" can be used to further show the bit shape. Depending on the "eye opening", there is information about the noise behavior of the ASi signal.
Logical Evaluation
The analysis of the telegram traffic provides information on the number and type of subscriber-specific telegram errors. It is confidential if the call or response failed. In addition, the pause times between the master calls and the slave responses are determined per station. The pause time of 50us (limit value: 60us) should not be exceeded.
