Greenville Process Class
Manny Mandrusiak reports from our Greenville PROFIBUS in the Process Industries one-day training class: I used to enjoy reading magazines where they had issues that were “Assistant Editor’s Months” – issues where the Assistant Editor wrote the column, with a little different perspective. Well that would make me the “Assistant Blogger” for Carl. I do…
Read MoreABB Worlds of PROFI
I’m on my flight back home from Orlando and ABB Automation and Power World. There was lots of news about PROFIBUS and PROFINET there. The trade press covers the general news, so I’ll fill in the fieldbus and PROFI news. At last year’s conference, ABB talked about a concept to use Industrial Ethernet across…

Part of our new approach is to include all the paperwork plus the class CD in the handout. I was afraid that not trading CDs for Course Evaluations at the end of the day would reduce the number of evaluations that we got back. My fear is now assuaged. We got a lot of feedback…

The day after our PROFINET one-day training class, we had an additional half day for PROFINET developers. This was also well-attended showing the increasing penetration of PROFINET in the Industrial Ethernet market.

The Detroit PROFINET one-day training class has now concluded. We concluded with 160 registrations and 135 in attendance. Sometimes with a class this big it’s hard to handle their questions as the class proceeds, but we managed with this group. There were a lot of good questions (most of them fielded deftly by Hunter). Many…

We are frantically getting ready for the 2009 one-day training class season which starts March 11. The presentations and demonstrations are nearly ready to go. We have new equipment for the multi-vendor PROFIBUS demo. And the PROFIBUS course material has been rearranged to reflect real-world plant projects. These will be seen for the first time…

Sparked by a blog post and an article in Computer magazine, I had to think about Web 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0. There’s an easy comparison or two between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 at the Vovici blog. The Web 3.0 article was in Computer magazine, “Web 3.0 Emerging.” (The article has to be purchased unless…

During the holiday hiatus, we posted our schedule for 2009 one-day training classes. This joined our previously announced Certified Network Engineer class schedule for 2009. It’s going to be a full schedule in 2009 with 12 Certified Network Engineer classes and 25 one-day training classes. Both types of classes have been very well received an…

Since this blogging software doesn’t do a good job of sending out comments via RSS, I’m promoting a comment from Gary Mintchell and my response to this post: Hi Carl, I’ve talked with their technical people about apples to apples comparisons. Evidently the message has not reached corporate communications people. It’s not so bad that…
