Profibus training courses available
There are still a few places available on a first-come, first-served basis on the August training courses for Certified Profibus Installer + Engineer/Commissioning courses
Covering the use of Profibus PA in key application areas such as pulp and paper, chemical, utilities, water pharmaceutical, oil and gas today, 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.
Supported by live demonstrations of actual tools used in calibration and maintenance, the programme will be of great value to instrument technicians/engineers, C+I engineers and project/system engineers involved in design, operation and maintenance of modern process plant.
Standardised in IEC 61158, Profibus PA is a state of the art digital fieldbus designed specifically to address the needs of the process industries.
It replaces or works in conjunction with conventional 4-20mA technology, significantly lowering capital expenditure on installation and offering unprecedented, centralised access to instrumentation and field device information.
Many additional practical benefits are derived from its use especially in hazardous areas.
Kindly hosted by ABB at Daresbury, Warrington, Cheshire on the 9 March 2007, the seminar is ably presented by fieldbus specialists Andy Verwer of the Profibus Competence Centre at MMU, Mark Cargill of EnPure, Tony Grassby of Endress + Hauser, Gareth Johnston of ABB and Anthony Mayall and Mark McCormick of Siemens Automation and Drives.
Attendance is free of charge to pre-registered delegates from the User community, i.e companies that own, operate, design, build or maintain process plant.
The agenda includes.
* Practical steps for a successful Profibus Project.
* Component selection including Hazardous Area considerations.
* Calibration, with live demonstration of Siemens - PDM, ABB - 800xA and E+H - Field Care.
* Maintenance - Fault finding demonstration.
