Video shows how PROFINET Scheduling speeds automation  

The fourth and final installment in the MinutePROFINET video series on Industrial Ethernet performance is now released. It explains a feature in PROFINET known as Scheduling and how it enhances Industrial Automation speeds.

Out and About with The PROFIBUS Group  

 

This autumn we will be presenting PROFIBUS and PROFINET at a number of popular trade shows and conferences such as  Instrumentation Scotland & Offshore Aberdeen on 5/6th September, Sensors & Systems at The NEC 25/26 September, Engineering Design at Coventry on 10/11 October and WWEM at Telford on 7/8 November.

 

We will also be presenting more in our series of free-to-attend "Practical Aspects" seminars up and down the country. These will cover Factory Automation, Process Automation, Safety and Security and Network Diagnostics.

Details of all of these events and more can be found on the Training Pages of the PI website.
Certified PROFIBUS training

MMU's Certified PROFIBUS Training to Engineer Level covers the Certified PROFIBUS Installer, the Commissioning & Maintenance module and finally the Certified PROFIBUS Engineer Course. It follows a new modular format designed to help students reach their fullest potential in 5 working days, with a built-in break to enable students to better assimilate the knowledge gained from the pre-requisite Installer course and the Commissioning & Maintenance module and to be fully prepared for the Engineer course itself.   

 

Each course can be taken individually or as part of the full set, depending on the candidates' existing qualifications and ability.

 

The next opportunity to take these  is on 13th September for the Certified Installer and 14th September for the Commissioning and Maintenance course.  These are followed by the Certified PROFIBUS Engineer course scheduled for 3 days commencing 17th September.   

 

To register please use the Registration Form or 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.
