Hotbus™ Node Tester
Node & Network Communications Testing Device

         
 

The Hotbus Node Tester is a portable testing unit that can be used in the field to determine the operational status of any Hotbus communications node and network to quickly identify wiring or node issues.

Simply plug the network connection cable directly to the node.  A digital display on the tester will show the status of the node which can determine if the node is operating correctly.  The unit can also be connected to a PC for more detailed diagnostics data.

Hotbus TN4 Node
 

Input Node (HOTBUS-TN4)

The TN4 is a four input sensor node, powered by 24 VDC.  Each input can be an NTC thermistor, PTC thermistor or Volt-Free Contact input; the types may be interchanged on a single node.  The Node has a unique 4 digit address which is used to communicate to the T500 via a two wire serial RS485 connection.

 
     
     
     
     
     
     
         
 
 
         
 
Hotbus SN2 Speed Node
 

Speed Node (HOTBUS-SN2)

The SN2 is a two input speed node, powered by 24 VDC.  The node is able to monitor two independent pulse (speed) sources for dangerous under speed conditions.  The SN2 will support pulses which are PNP or sourced.  The Node has a unique 4 digit address which is used to communicate to the T500 via a two wire RS485 connection.
