PROFIBUS DP diagnostics

We work on the following equipment:

we work on Procentec equipment

Course objective:

After completing the training, the participant:

Has advanced knowledge of the DP protocol and transmission media and the ability to perform advanced diagnostics of extensive PROFIBUS DP networks
Knows typical network elements and diagnostic problems and errors encountered in PROFIBUS DP networks – based on practical exercises
Has detailed knowledge of the operation, functions and diagnostic methods of the ProfiTrace2 Ultra Pro and PB-Q One network analyzer

Report from the training

"Participants don't receive a ready-made, dry theory on diagnosing Profibus networks. Instead, each participant, with the support of the instructor, learns the methods of diagnosing networks independently. All failures that might occur in a real installation are simulated at the stations, and participants themselves troubleshoot subsequent failures. This approach to training allows for the quick development of certain skills that will certainly pay off later..." Read more
