Wiring fault detection, diagnosis and reporting for process control systems

摘要

The system comprises a cabling fault detection unit that is designed so that it can be coupled to a protocol bus in order to measure its electrical properties and a cabling fault diagnosis manager that is coupled to the detection unit and uses the measured electrical properties for cabling fault identification. Independent claims are made for: (1) a method for detection of cabling faults; (2) a system for detection of cabling faults in a process control system with a user interface for a workstation or similar.
