Certified PROFIBUS Installer
A one-day, internationally accredited course covering PROFIBUS network installation and technology.
Overview
What the course is entails
This course is not just for installers, it provides the basic but essential information for anyone who is working with PROFIBUS at a technical level; designers, commissioning engineers, maintenance technicians, and of course installers.
Who should attend the course?
The course provides an essential pre-requisite to more advanced training like the PROFIBUS Troubleshooting and Maintenance Course, the Certified PROFIBUS System Designer Course or the Certified PROFIBUS Engineer Course. Although centred on the most widely used fieldbus technology, PROFIBUS, most of the course content is equally applicable to other fieldbus technologies.
This one-day hands-on course covers the theory of PROFIBUS DP and PA network operation.

- Basic PROFIBUS DP and PA network technology, station types, and addressing, network configuration and start-up

- Causes, effects, and avoidance of transmission-line reflections and the importance of correct line termination
- Network and segment size and layout limitations and the effect of transmission rate
- Common wiring and layout pitfalls, modern cable and connector systems
- Considerations for network maintenance and commissioning
