EMC Awareness for Industrial Automation Systems
One-day training course in Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC).
Overview
What the course is entails
This training focuses on understanding Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and its impact on industrial automation systems. Participants will gain practical knowledge of EMC principles, challenges, and mitigation techniques tailored to Hardware, Middleware, and Software (HMS) networked systems. The course aims to enhance system reliability, reduce downtime, and ensure compliance with industry standards.
Who should attend the course?
This course is particularly targeted to those people / organisations that are involved in industrial automation and who need to conform to the IEE Wiring Regulations (BS 7671).
Attendees will receive a certificate of attendance on completion of this course.
