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.
Training method
