Jargon buster cuts through the ATEX jungle
ABB has published an "ATEX jargon buster" that helps motor users cut through the jungle of terms and definitions that make up the new ATEX Directives.
Different levels of courses are available for project engineers, support staff and technicians.
Richard Ednay, Director of OTT, comments: "For the last twelve years we have run numerous customised training programmes to meet the specific requirements of staff involved in using fibre optics for interesting applications outside of mainstream communications cabling.
We decided it was time to formalise this to help our customers appreciate the range of expertise in fibre optics which we can offer them".
Fibre-optics technology is now commonly applied to overcome problems in many engineering projects, both for communications and for sensor applications.
Requirements for higher bandwidth, smaller sizes, lighter weights, lower power consumption and lower costs can all be met with well engineered fibre-optic systems.
At the same time some problems are eliminated such as EMC, crosstalk and electrical safety.
"But to design the best systems it is essential to appreciate the capabilities and the limitations of the technology, and to deliver projects on time and to budget, then the whole team will need the right knowledge and skills to work efficiently, effectively and safely with fibre optics".
Ednay adds.
Ongoing technical assistance and specialist consultancy services are also available to offer a complete support service for fibre-optics technology.
