The Profibus Competence Centre at Manchester Metropolitan University has announced dates to the end of 2003 for its popular Certified Profibus Engineer and Installer courses.
The 3.5-day Certified Profibus Engineer's Course is for people who already have a basic technical knowledge of Profibus or other fieldbus systems.
This hands-on course covers the detailed theory of Profibus DP network operation.
It teaches first-hand how to design, install and troubleshoot Profibus DP networks, how to use diagnostic tools to detect faults and identify their causes.
The course was developed in the USA by the Profibus Interface Centre (PIC) in conjunction with the Profibus Trade Organisation (PTO).
Those who pass the written examination and practical test on the last day of the course will gain a valuable and widely recognised certificate as to their competence to install and trouble-shoot Profibus networks.
Graduates of the course will also have the right to have their name listed in the Certified Profibus Engineer section of the Profibus website.
