Signal measurement and evaluation with oscilloscope, handling of up-to-date bus analyzers, commissioning of demo plant, device replacement / troubleshooting.

PROFIBUS FDL (Fieldbus Data Link), function codes and service access points used in PROFIBUS DP, Token handling, FISCO and Ex concepts, cyclic and acyclic communication, cycle time calculation and bus parameters.

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.
