  Certified PROFINET Engineer  

Certified PROFINET EngineerThis training course will provide detailed technical knowledge of the PROFINET technology and the advantages it offers your automation and production processes. Constantly a comparison with PROFIBUS is made. PROFIBUS is the current standard and PROFINET an interesting enhancement.

PROFINET is using Industrial Ethernet as communication medium, which has lots of myths that are gray areas for users like: cabling, security, determinism and speed. But there are more important aspects nobody is willing to answer: will maintenance activities change?, what happens when the cable has a disturbance?, the solution for process automation, investment costs and how many manufacturers are supplying products?

This training will take a close peek on these issues so that the participant has confidence to evaluate himself if PROFINET is an appropriate solution for his automation requirements and that he can design a proper application. All subjects will be finalized with a demonstration and practical exercise to get a direct link with the real world.

At the end of the training there will be a theory exam. Participants who pass get the title Certified PROFINET Engineer and are awarded an official certificate.

PROFINET logoThis event is hosted by the experts of PROCENTEC who are constantly deployed worldwide to carry out projects and training sessions. They can realistically inform you about the advantages and consequences of PROFINET technology.
