Description:
Learn the skills to design, install, commission, and troubleshoot PROFINET networks. This course illustrates practical installation issues, goes right down to the protocol/packet level, and includes detailed information on the bus parameters. You will also learn how to minimize the impact of EMC on the network and get hands-on experience with the latest PROFINET troubleshooting tools including; Wireshark, Netilities, and the permanent network monitor Atlas.
This course meets all the requirements of the Certified PROFINET Network Engineer course including the Certified PROFINET Engineer Network Process Automation module, and the Certified PROFINET Installers course. The course ends with a written and practical test. Successful students will be certified by PI as a Certified PROFINET Network Engineer, Certified PROFINET Network Engineer Process Automation, and a Certified PROFINET Installer.
