5. Frequently asked questions
This chapter has answers to frequently asked questions about ProfiCore and related matters.
Question Answer
1.1 I have USB 2.0 on my laptop/PC, does Yes, ProfiCore is USB V1.1 and will also work on
ProfiCore work on that also ? USB 2.0 hubs and interfaces without problems
1.2 Can I connect more than 2 ProfiCore ProfiCore consumes approximately 250mA. One
devices on one port (with a hub) ? USB port can only supply 500mA in total. Using 2
ProfiCore devices on the same port may not work
properly since it will probably exceed the 500mA
USB current limit. It is therefor recommended to
have each ProfiCore on it's own port.
1.3 Is ProfiCore galvanically isolated ? Yes, the Profibus RS485 port is galvanically
isolated.
1.4 The ProfiCore also has a RJ45 The TJ45 connector is NOT an Ethernet
connector, what is it used for ? connector, but a feature connector for extending
the functionality of applications using the
ProfiCore.
The ProfiTrace bus analyzer application for
example uses this port to generate a trigger
signal for oscilloscopes. This trigger signal is
used to trigger the capture for an oscilloscope
exactly at the moment a particular message is
detected on the bus. This simplifies bus signal
quality analysis for individual stations on the bus.
1.5 Can I use the ProfiCore DB9 Profibus Yes, but be aware of the fact that when a PC (or
connector also for terminating the laptop) needs to be reset or shutdown, also the
Profibus network ? power for the termination resistors is shutdown!
The same occurs when removing the ProfiCore
from the USB port!
1.6 Does ProfiCore support all baudrates ? Yes, ProfiCore can support all baudrates up to
12Mbps, including 45.45kbps. However the
application on the PC will determine the
functionality (see also 1.7).
1.7 Is ProfiCore a Profibus Master or Slave? ProfiCore has all the hardware built-in for usage
as either a master, slave or just for passive bus
analysis. The actual functionality is determined by
the application used on the PC.

6. Troubleshooting
If you experience problems during installation or usage of ProfiCore, the associated tools or
applications, then first make sure you have done and verified the issues as mentioned in chapter 1.
Also be aware that only Windows 98, Windows XP and Windows 2000 have been tested with
ProfiCore. Usage on other operating systems, may not work or not work properly, and no support can
be given for it.
6.1 Driver files

present. Please use that as reference when the
operating systems asks for a driver location.
1.2 My CD is damaged or corrupted, so I Check to see if the application is available as a
cannot install the drivers anymore free download on http://www.procentec.com
If not, then please contact your local dealer or
contact us by email: support@procentec.com
6.2 Driver problems

2.1 ProfiCore is not detected by my PC / Make sure that the cable is correctly plugged both
operating system. into the PC and the ProfiCore. If this does not
help, try to use another USB slot or another USB
cable.
2.2 The drivers have been installed before, It could be that Windows has a corrupted registry
but now Windows does not seem to find entry or it could be because Windows does not
the correct drivers anymore. know which drivers to use because they have
been moved or deleted.
In this case go to the hardware manager and

‘explicitly’ re-install the drivers. Do not let
windows search for a driver, but direct windows to
the driver directory and force re-installation.
For Windows XP do the following steps:

1. ‘Start’ ⇒ 'Control Panel'.
2. Select 'Printers and other hardware'.
3. Select 'System' (on the left).
4. In the tab ‘Hardware’ click on ‘Device
Manager’.
5. Go to ‘Universal Serial Bus Controllers’
and expand.
6. Double click on item ‘PCN ProfiCore
V1.00 device’.
7. In the tab ‘Driver’ click on ‘Update
driver’.
8. In the ‘Welcome’ dialog, select option

'Install from a list or specific location
(advanced)' and then click on 'Next'
9. Choose option 'Don't search, I will
choose the driver to install' and then
click on 'Next'.
10. Click on ‘Have Disk’.
11. Browse to the ‘Drivers’ driver directory
and follow the instructions in the dialogs
that follow.
For Windows 2000 do the following steps:

1. ‘Start’ ⇒ 'Settings' ⇒ 'Control Panel'
2. Choose/press the 'System' icon
3. In the tab ‘Hardware’ click on ‘Device
Manager’.
4. Go to ‘Universal Serial Bus Controllers’
and expand.
5. Double click on item ‘PCN ProfiCore
V1.00 device’.
6. In the tab ‘Driver’ click on ‘Update
driver’
7. Click ‘Next’ on the ‘Welcome’ dialog
8. Choose option ‘Display a list of …’ and
click on 'Next'.
9. Click on ‘Have Disk’.
10. Browse to the ‘Drivers’ driver directory
and follow the instructions in the dialogs
that follow.
For Windows 98 it is very similar to Windows

2000 so use the Windows 2000 steps as
guideline.
2.3 In the hardware manager a yellow The drivers have not been correctly installed or
exclamation or question mark is set to the windows cannot find the driver.
ProfiCore driver Please follow the instructions as described in 2.2
to resolve the problem
6.3 Cabling and connection problems

3.1 I have a long USB cable and I have bad ProfiCore has been tested and positively verified
connections and slow communication. to work with a USB cable of 3 meters (approx. 9
feet) or shorter.
Use only good quality 3 meter (or smaller) cables.
3.2 I use a bus-powered USB hub and behind ProfiCore consumes approximately 250mA. One
it a ProfiCore and some other USB USB port can only supply 500mA in total. If other
peripherals and it does not seem to work devices are on the same port this 500mA limit
properly. can be ‘exceeded’.
Use either an externally powered USB hub or
only use one USB device on each HUB.
3.3 I don’t have any more free USB slots on Either remove any unused USB peripherals from
my PC or laptop the PC or use an externally powered USB hub
If that is not possible, an expansion card (PCI or
PCMCIA) can be used to extend the number of
USB ports.
