The perfect combination of sophisticated hardware and software analysis
An essential tool
for analysis and optimizing of all RS232 and RS422/485 field-bus connections. It gathers exact information about every line change with up to 10 nanosecond precision – indispensable for each analysis of time depending protocols like Modbus RTU, Profibus or similiar. Read more about the Special Analyzer Design!
OSI layer support
- Concurrent analysis from the physical tri-state signal to the top-most levels.
- All layers are only a click away. Check the data signal behind a telegram or measure the time between bits, bytes or sequences.
- Synchronize the display of different layers. Let the tri-state view follow the data or telegrams and vice versa.
More than one protocol ›
Using a powerful protocol template script engine the analyzer is able to parse all thinkable fieldbus protocols. And together with an unique box model it allows the user to format and summarize the telegram output in an extremely wide range. Read more...

It is a pleasure doing business with you. I have recommended your company to our business partners so I expect that you will receive a few more orders for analyzers from other Swedish companies within the next month or two.

I just wanted to let you know that the Protocol Monitor allowed me to solve the our customer problem in about an hour (even though I had originally made my travel arrangements to stay 2 days in case I needed it).
-
I am very happy with the simplicity of the MSB-RS485 and the way that the software works. Configuration & scripting is easy to understand and well documented in the manual. In this one occasion I asked for help, it has been given by starting with the solution!

Wir nutzen beide Analyser (RS232 und RS485) von IFTOOLS. Diese Analyser verhalfen uns bei einigen Problemen zum Durchbruch. Wir konnten damit Timing Probleme, Software Bugs u.a. schnell und problemlos aufspüren. Ich möchte diese Analyser in unserem Werkzeug Repertoire nicht mehr missen. Bei Fragen zum Lua Protokoll half uns das Team von IFTOOLS rasch und unbürokratisch. Ein tolles Produkt, das ich gerne weiter empfehle.

We have been designing, manufacturing and installing large networked systems for almost 20 years. The IFTOOLS MSB-RS485 module and the AWESOME multi-function software (!) are by far the best tool I’ve ever found for RS485 bus analysis in our serial networks. It is like going from dark night to sunshine; your RS485 analysis suite paid for itself many times over in the very first test session. You’re doing a great job.

Seit ca. 25 Jahren arbeite ich immer wieder mit seriellen Schnittstellen, leider erst die letzten 8 Jahre mit dem Tool MSB-RS232. Hätte ich dieses Tool bereits früher gehabt, wäre mir sehr, sehr viel Ärger erspart geblieben. In meiner langen Laufbahn ist mir kein besseres Tool zur Analyse von RS232-Schnittstellen untergekommen. Würde es einen Oscar für Messsysteme geben: MSB-RS232 hätte ihn verdient! Besten Dank, auch für den hervorragenden Support.

The analyzer is a very good product and it helped us with a very tricky problem.

Our company has been involved in RS-485 development for a large customer. I looked at six devices and tool suites, and settled on the MSB-RS485+ (analyzer) and ISO485-Box (simulator) using the CleverTerm UI. The Support Team has provided outstanding assistance in developing a robust Lua interface for CleverTerm which we sent to our customer. Both the Sales and Support teams have been quick in their responses even though they are located in Germany and I America. I highly recommend IFTOOLS products to anyone seeking solid hardware and outstanding support.

I got the RS485 Service Kit, and Wow this thing is awesome, i don’t know how i ever managed to develop 485 products without it… Its like light and day to how i used to analyse issues.

We are using the MSB-RS485. Very versatile analyzer and very easy to use. Great support from the Iftools team.
