About the ProfiCaptain

The main platform is a configuration environment in which the user can setup their devices with the respective modules and parameters. After setting up the network, they are put in Data Exchange without a download. The I/O’s can be watched and manipulated easily. If necessary class 2 functions can be used on all addresses in the network, even if they are not configured or locked by another master. ProfiCaptain is integrated in ProfiTrace 2.

ProfiCaptain is the perfect solution for a straightforward master system.
