Certified PROFIBUS training
The next full Training Week at MMU commences 14th May. Designed to help candidates reach their fullest potential in just a week, the week covers the Certified PROFIBUS Installer course - which is pre-requisite, the Commissioning & Maintenance module, the newly-introduced System Design module and finally the Certified PROFIBUS Engineer Course.
To register please call Ann on +44 207 193 8018 to check availability for this or future opportunities.
PS - These courses can also be delivered at your premises for groups of 6 or more. Ask for details. |
PROFINET on YouTube
Another installment in the MinutePROFINET video series is now released. It is the second in a four-part series on Industrial Ethernet performance, produced by our colleagues in the USA.

Certified PROFI System Design? - Survey
Many of the basic errors found in networked systems are made at the design stage, indicating a need for additional training and certification for system designers and engineers involved with the specification, planning and design of modern control systems.
The idea is to cover some of the areas not currently covered by the existing certified training for Installers and Engineers, both PROFIBUS and PROFINET.
Please let us know if you think there is such a need and if you have any views on what such a course should cover.

Practical Aspects of PROFIBUS and PROFINET in Factory Automation
Manchester, June 21st
And there are just a few places remaining on this seminar - which is filling up fast.
Covering 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, the seminar focuses on the practical aspects of using PROFIBUS and PROFINET in factory automation applications from system design and safety considerations through to maintenance and fault-finding.
Supported by live demonstrations of actual tools used in configuration and maintenance, the programme will be of great value to Designers, Production Engineers and System Engineers involved in design, operation and maintenance of modern automated factories and machinery.

| Practical aspects of PROFIBUS in Process Seminar
I'm delighted to report on the success of our most recent seminar last week in Manchester, when nearly 50 delegates gathered to learn about the use of PROFIBUS and PROFINET in Process Automation.
"Excellent!" (several said this)
"Very good technical and practical content"
"Great PROFIBUS/PROFINET overview!"
"Very informative"
"Very well organised, good occasion to meet specialists"
"Gave a good introduction"
"Good short presentations and time to network"
- were just a few of the comments received.
The next opportunity to attend one of our process seminars will be in November at WWEM, Telford where we are presenting a half-day seminar on similar topics.
Register for Telford
