Last change to register for our free Seminars!
With just a few days to go, this is positively your last chance to attend our "Practical Aspects of PROFIBUS & PROFINET" seminars in Manchester this week.
Practical Aspects of
PROFIBUS in
Process is on October 6th
This seminar addresses the key practical
issues arising from the use of PROFIBUS and PROFINET in
process and hybrid industries. It focuses on the practical aspects of using PROFIBUS in
process industry applications from system design and hazardous area
considerations through to maintenance and fault-finding.
More details and event registration
Practical Aspects of PROFIBUS &
PROFINET in Factory Automation is on October 5th and covers the use of
PROFIBUS and PROFINET in key application areas such as packaging, printing,
electrical and electronics assembly, robotics, automotive engineering, drives,
mechanical handling and logistics, control systems and energy management. Supported by live demonstrations of actual tools
used in configuration and maintenance, the programme is of great value to
Designers, Production Engineers and System Engineers involved in design,
operation and maintenance of modern automated factories and machinery.

New Courses at MMU 
Industrial Wireless Networks - Configuration and
Deployment - 17 Nov
2010
Wireless
networks are increasingly being used in the automation industry with applications
as diverse as controlling AGVs, storage shuttles and production cranes. As
bandwidth demands increase with PLC upgrades PROFINET wireless is also being
used to overcome PROFIBUS limitations such as slip-rings.
Presented in
conjunction with Daconi Wireless, this one day course shows how a PROFINET or
PROFISAFE network can be securely and reliably deployed over an Industrial
Wireless LAN network. This hands-on course covers configuration of Industrial
Wireless LAN equipment and explains how to avoid the common pitfalls to
successfully deploy an industrial wireless network. More information Registration
Certified PROFINET Installer Course - 12 October 2010
An essential
course for electrical engineers and technicians needing to upgrade their skills
to include industrial ethernet installation. This one-day, hands-on course
teaches the design, installation and testing of complete PROFINET networks and
will teach delegates how to avoid common, but potentially expensive,
installation problems. Registration
CoDeSys V3training course - 27 to 29th October
CoDeSys
Version 3, released in 2006, sets new standards in object-oriented
programming for automation tasks. The following are
some of the highlights compared to the widely-applied Version 2.3:
� Programming
of complete PLC networks including multiple PLCs or
controllers within one single project
� Modularisation of the development
system in components with separated versions or user defined versions
� Visualisation
can be easily extended to new client PCs
� No longer a development system but an
open automation engineering platform suitable
for extensions and integration of other solutions
CoDeSys
V3 Basic is a 3-day training programme, developed and run by the German company,
3S Smart Software Solutions. The course will be presented by 3S at MMU 27 to 29th October.
The course is for everyone who wants to know modern PLC programming. No
prior knowledge of CoDeSys V2.3 or other PLC programming skills are
required.
As an introductory, one-time offer, the course is priced at just �450. Don't miss it!

Following a new format designed to help
candidates reach their fullest potential in just a week, the schedule
covers the Certified PROFIBUS Installer course -
which is pre-requisite, the Commissioning & Maintenance module
and finally the Certified PROFIBUS Engineer Course.
Each
course can be taken individually or as part of the full set, depending
on the candidates' existing qualifications and ability.
In October there will also be the chance to get qualified on PROFINET, when MMU will be presenting the Certified PROFINET Engineer course on the 12th to 14th, Day 1 of which is another chance to take the Certified PROFINET Installer course. Book now to avoid disappointment!
To register for any of these events, please
