What software use with PG to troubleshoot Profibus network? Ideal solution is just a program that use my Profibus interface and build network structure and check all stations status even if bus is in a fault state.

I thought about something more like network sniffer that analyze packets and try to evaluate Profibus network health. Similar to e.g. ProfiTrace, but whithout this special piece of hardware.

Can I use it with USB-MPI adapter? Requirements list says about CPs only, is it true?
