Objectives

Learn how to design and commission a PROFIBUS fieldbus network
Understand the benefits of the technology and know the procedure for troubleshooting.

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of computers, electronics and mathematics.

Qualification

The training is internationally recognized and certified by the PROFIBUS organization.

Methodology

Participants are given time to work with the various components of a PROFIBUS network.
We put emphasis on a balanced approach to theory and practice vendor-neutral instruction.
Mornings are spent learning the theoretical background, and afternoons with the actual components and integration of the field devices into the system. Almost half the course is spent giving you ample opportunity to use what you have learned in hands-on exercises.
