How Will This Course Benefit You?
Profibus DP is one the most heavily used protocols in the automation industry. Yet learning about it is a real challenge. You could do your best with Internet based research on the topic and you will still find that the information would be mostly high-level. You just would not be able to get down to the practical details.
That's the point of this course, to demystify Profibus DP once and for all, to give the full picture and to give you the information that you need to actually work with Profibus DP at a practical level. If you are looking for a job that involves Profibus DP, you are supposed to be able to handle yourself well in the interview after doing this course.
In this course, you will learn:
- The reason Profibus DP was designed.
- The hardware, cabling, connectors used to connect Profibus DP devices.
- The steps required to build a Profibus DP network.
- How to build and simulate a Profibus DP network using Siemens SIMATIC software.
- How to program a physical Profibus DP network that will be on my workbench.
- Diagnostics and Troubleshooting.
- Profibus DP protocol frames and messages.
Are there any requirements?
You will need a very basic understanding of binary systems and computer memory as well as the operation of a programmable logic controller (PLC).
