Certified PROFIBUS Engineer Refresher & Certification Course
The Certified PROFIBUS Engineer Recertification Module is a full one-day course to enable people who have already gained Certified PROFIBUS Engineer status to keep up to date with current developments and obtain a new certificate. The course covers latest developments in PROFIBUS, systems/network design and new functions of instruments such as ProfiTrace.
An essential course for electrical engineers and technicians needing to upgrade their skills to include fieldbus installation. This one-day, hands-on course teaches the design, installation and testing of complete PROFIBUS networks including DP, PA and optical fibre technology. Covering bus layout and termination, grounding rules and practices, the course will teach delegates how to avoid common, but potentially expensive, installation problems.
PROFIBUS Commissioning & Maintenance Course (Also available on-site for up to 8)
A new one-day course designed as an add-on to the Certified PROFIBUS Installer Course. Covering the practical techniques of faultfinding on “operational” PROFIBUS networks. Techniques taught on the course include the use of a modern PROFIBUS analyser and Class-II master (engineering tool) to diagnose network faults, device faults and I/O problems. Students also learn how to use a soft digital storage oscilloscope in conjunction with these tools to diagnose and accurately locate cable, connection and device faults.
System Design Course
A one-day course covering the optimal design of networked automation and control systems. Centred on PROFIBUS and PROFINET technology, but also covering the use of Ethernet & AS-i technology and system software. The System Design Course builds on the basic knowledge of the Certified Installer and provides additional knowledge on designing not only PROFIBUS systems, but also how to use Ethernet, PROFINET and other technologies appropriately.
Basic PLC Programming Course - (Also available on-site for up to 8)
A new two-day course designed for those with no previous programming experience. It covers basic ladder and function block programming and leads on to the Certified Open-PLC Engineer Course.
Certified Open-PLC Engineer Training - (Also available on-site for up to 8)
The PROFIBUS Competence Centre at Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU) in the UK has introduced a 3 day course covering Open-PLC programming using the international standard IEC 61131-3. The course is designed for Engineers and Technicians who want to gain a recognised qualification in open-PLC programming using IEC 61131-3. The course is suitable for experienced Programmers who wish to move to IEC 61131-3 compliant systems.
Certified PROFINET Installer Course
An essential course for electrical engineers and technicians needing to upgrade their skills to include industrial ethernet installation. This one-day, hands-on course teaches the design, installation and testing of complete PROFINET networks and will teach delegates how to avoid common, but potentially expensive, installation problems.
Certified PROFINET Engineer Course
This training course provides a detailed technical knowledge of the PROFINET technology and the advantages it offers your automation and production processes. At the end of the training there will be a theory exam. Participants who pass get the title Certified PROFINET Engineer and are awarded an official certificate. Successful participants will have the confidence to evaluate PROFINET as a solution for their automation requirements and be able to design a proper application.
With both TCP/IP and real-time protocols, PROFINET will be the future backbone network linking lower level fieldbus instruments and upper level enterprise functions making information technology an increasingly integral part of the automation industry. Does your workforce have the knowledge and skill to develop, design and maintain industrial networks?
This training course is for both PROFINET product developers and for a wide range of audience who wants to know PROFINET and industrial Ethernet. The course content is carefully selected to fit into a one-day schedule and contains the most important aspects of PROFINET. The course has been delivered in Germany for a number of years and will be a unique experience for the UK audience.
