Fieldbus networks keep baggage systems running
Marco Polo Airport, Venice, uses redundant Profibus DP fieldbus networks on the high-availability baggage handling system that processes up to 4000 items of luggage per hour.
It is also a very useful continuing education option for employees of companies engaged in Profibus development as well as manufacturers, system integrators or end users.
The training is based on "system building blocks" and is divided into six sections which address major fundamentals of the Profibus technology including the master-slave principle, transmission technology, the protocol architecture and the Profibus DP communication protocol.
Answers are provided for common questions such as: what is Profibus and how do participants in a Profibus network communicate?.
The WBT also provides practical information about device installation, such as: where should terminating resistors be placed? And, when must a repeater be used?.
The central topic of Profibus PA has been re-incorporated: in addition to clarifying the "PA devices" application profile, the universal automation of a hybrid system is demonstrated.
In the "engineering" chapter, the user experiences how to manage PA devices and how to put a system into operation using engineering tools.
Learning is self-directed and participants are tested at the end.
Participants are not bound by time and location: the only requirements for participation are a willingness to learn and Internet access.
