End-to-end Profibus solutions from initial audit to full network design and ongoing maintenance support.
Comprehensive on-site Profibus DP/PA network health assessments. We identify signal quality issues, topology problems, addressing conflicts, and EMI interference before they cause downtime.
24/7 emergency on-site response across Southern Africa. When your production line halts due to network failure, we mobilise immediately. Typical response time under 4 hours in Gauteng.
Strategic network partitioning to improve reliability, isolate faults, and optimise bus load distribution. We design and implement segment couplers, repeaters, and DP/PA link solutions.
Using Proficore Ultra, ProfiTrace, and Softing analysers to trace intermittent faults, frame errors, and signal reflections that standard PLCs cannot report. We find what others miss.
Independent expert advice on Profibus system architecture, migration strategies, vendor selection, and IEC 61158 compliance. We have no vendor allegiance — only your best interests.
Professional as-built network documentation including topology diagrams, device address maps, segment calculations, and cable schedules. Essential for maintenance teams and site expansions.
Not a general automation contractor who adds Profibus to their services list. We are Profibus — it's all we do.
PI (Profibus International) certified engineers with deep protocol-level knowledge — not just tool operators.
We own and operate class-leading bus analysers including Proficore Ultra, ProfiTrace 2, and Fluke network testers.
Based in Johannesburg with established travel and support networks across SA, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique, Namibia, DRC, and Tanzania.
Every engagement results in a written report with findings, risk ratings, and prioritised recommendations your team can act on.
We carry the same professional-grade instrumentation used by Profibus International test labs. No guesswork — only data.
The industry-standard Profibus bus analyser. ProfiTrace captures every telegram on the live bus with oscilloscope-grade waveform visualisation — measuring signal levels, rise/fall times, jitter, and noise margins. We use it to identify intermittent faults, address conflicts, and EMI interference that standard PLC diagnostics simply cannot see.
The Combricks modular bus monitoring system enables permanent or portable installation directly onto the Profibus segment. It provides continuous statistical monitoring of signal quality, error counters, and device availability — allowing us to capture intermittent faults over extended periods and correlate events with production incidents.
The ProfiHub active repeater and segment extender is both a network infrastructure component and a diagnostic aid. Its built-in monitoring capabilities allow per-port signal quality assessment and fault isolation, making it invaluable for identifying which segment or spur is responsible for bus-wide communication errors.
Headquartered in Johannesburg, we support industrial operations across the region — mines, refineries, water works, power utilities, and manufacturing plants.
From first contact to signed-off remediation — a structured, documented process every time.
We gather system details, symptoms, and history before arriving on site. Remote triage available 24/7.
Physical inspection of cable routing, connectors, shields, terminators, and device installations.
Live bus capture and analysis using our professional analyser suite. Every frame examined.
Immediate fixes where possible; a written remediation plan with priority ratings for larger works.
Detailed written report with as-built diagrams, findings, signal quality data, and recommendations.
