What good is competent network design, if the installation of the PROFIBUS® network is not properly carried out?
The installation technicians need to know what they are doing.
This two-day course covers theory and practice for the physical layer of a PROFIBUS® DP/PA installation and suitable procedures and tools
to check whether the network is working as well as it should.
