PROFINET Cable Tester – User Manual

3.1 Interpreting PROFINET test results

Upon completion of a cable test, the wire map
display, ID and any faults are displayed.
- The top line pin numbers on the display
represent the connector pins on the main unit.
- The second line pin numbers represent the
connector pin numbers of the remote, normally
being the same as the top line for a one-to-one
wired cable.
The Pass icon will be ON if the cable has all
pins properly connected. The Fail, Short, Open
or Split icon will be on if there is a wiring error.
The wire map will display the end-to-end
connections measured whenever possible.
The Pass icon will also be on with a blinking
Uplink icon if a network cable has the 1-2 and
the 3-6 pairs transposed to indicate a properly
wired uplink/cross cable.
It is very important to check the
Shield icon if PROFINET or other Industrial
Ethernet cable is tested. IT SHOULD BE ON.
If there are multiple errors to display, there will
be a combination of the above error displays.
The ID icon will have a number directly to the
right of it, indicating the remote ID number
detected from the remote. A new test is in
progress whenever the "Voice" or "Data" icons
are ON.
If a split pair is detected, the detected pins and the "Split" icon will be blinking.
