Bus Health mode Industrial Buses (so called ‘Field Buses’) link the
machinery on the factory floor to each other, to sensors,
actuators and to a central computer and control system. The Fluke
125 now offers extensive capabilities to test the proper
functioning of the network by analyzing the electrical signals on the network (see screen copy).
Supported
Field bus types are:
AS-i bus
CAN-bus
Interbus
ControlNet
MOD-Bus
Foundation Fieldbus
Capacity to define two ‘user defined’
network type.
Profibus
Ethernet (coax and TP, 10 Mb/s)
RS-232
RS-485
Note: the Bus Health function is not a protocol analyzer but is a tool to
investigate the electrical layer of the
communications system, giving ‘good’ or ‘no good’ indicators for individual
parameters of the electrical system.
Example of Bus Health screen
Power Measurements for
single phase and balanced 3-phase systems:
Watts
VA
VAR
Power Factor (PF)
High resolution, low impedance
measurements
Harmonics mode, up to 33rd harmonic (see screen copy). This mode supports a wide range of
fundamental mains frequencies including 16.?, 50, 60 and
400 Hz systems!
High resolution, low impedance
measurements 50.00 W full scale, for use on motor windings and other low
resistance wiring.
Reading of Hz and Rotations Per
Minute (RPM) for use with electrical and combustion engines. Input signal can be:
2 rotations per 1 pulse.
1 rotation per 1 pulse.
1 rotation per 2
pulses.
1 rotation per 4
pulses
Example of Harmonics mode screen
Measurement of Vpwm for use on motor
drive outputs as was implemented on the
190-series before ‘Save and recall’ using a
user-defined name for the stored data set. Each
data set (up 9 pieces) contains screen + set-up + data. Names can
be created freely and altered at a later stage.
Fluke i400s Current Clamp included as
a standard with Fluke 125.
Furthermore, the i5s current clamp is supported by the
125 firmware. Note: The full level of functionality
of the Fluke 124 is included in the 125. And also all accessories found with
the 124 are included.
New edition of FlukeView ScopeMeter SW90W V4.4 The functionality level in
conjunction with the 120-series is no different from V4.3 and V4.2
Shipments of the Fluke-125/S and of the SCC120 will include the
V4.4 per the release of the Fluke-125. For customers who have
release V4.x, a free update will be available through the Fluke
public website.
