At commissioning a few installation and device faults require correction After commissioning fieldbus segments run reliably
on 300 segment system about one physical layer problem needs resolving/year
Relcom fieldbus testers are estimated to be used on more than 90% of segments installed
Commissioning Procedure

Troubleshooting questions...
So what does the data all mean? Is anyone capable of diagnosing the data provided? What does the scope trace show us? Does anybody know what jitter is and what it means? Where do we look next? Can anybody find the manual? ?
