This course will learn you how to analyze, identify and tackle PROFIBUS problems. Theory about cabling, shielding, earthing, bus parameters and measuring instruments forms the basis of this knowledge. With the help of practical exercises on real networks you will learn how to put this theory into practice.
This training is for anyone responsible for PROFIBUS Cabling, Maintenance, and Testing.

PROFIBUS_INST + TESTCourse type
NetwerkdiagnosisIntroduction
This training conveys theoretical and practical PROFIBUS knowledge through hands-on training. Most projects today require certification from the companies involved in fieldbus installation. Certified PROFIBUS installers are the first important step in installing a reliable and trouble-free PROFIBUS network. The Certified Installer training lasts 3 days (including the final exam). After passing the exam, the participant will receive the title "Certified Installer" and will be officially registered.

Dymotec - Open Lines in a ‘Perfect Storm’Read moreCOVID-19 and global component scarcity threw the industry into a ‘perfect storm’. Industrial automator Dymotec and Breemes kept the phone lines constantly open to tackle the scarcity problem together with creativity and proactivity. Dymotec in Olen (B) focuses on industrial automation spanning a broad spectrum of industries, from food and pharma to logistics and metal. The company has been around for 30 years and joined the Jeco Energies Group in 2022. Dymotec now has some 50 employees and also has a flexible shell with technicians, programmers and project engineers. Ever since its establishment, the company from Kempen has had a relationship with (the predecessors of) Breemes.

Enduro - Complete package for heavy-duty workRead moreEnduro Softslings builds machines for the manufacture of its own heavy lifting soft slings. For a new machine, it called in itsme for the full package: advice on the drives, supply of components and programming of the controls. “We completed the entire project in just over six months. That’s fast for such a specialised machine.”
-
Stimac - Good technical support for ever-changing specificationsRead moreIf the description for an automation project is clear from the start, it is easy for the industrial automation specialist to give it substance. In practice, however, specifications often change during the course of a project. This happened to Stimac/SNK when designing the control technology for a horticultural machine. For the problems that arose during the process, itsme quickly provided Stimac/SNK with a solution. “When a customer calls us, we respond immediately. So it’s nice to have a supplier like itsme who can also help immediately.”

Innovatec - Hatching Better ProcurementRead moreInnovatec Hatchery Automation launched a process of professionalisation for its procurement process last year. The company partnered with itsme because of its technical expertise, logistics concepts and intensive contacts with manufacturers. “First we were dating, but now we’re thinking about moving in together.”

nVent - CADDY spring steel fastenersRead moreWhy installers resolutely choose spring steel fasteners from nVent CADDY? Most of nVent CADDY products can be installed without additional tools. Installers can install most of nVent CADDY spring steel products without additional tools. Too often, having or finding the right tools for the job is no easy task. Helping minimise the number of tools needed on a construction site is how nVent CADDY strives to help customers get the job done as efficiently as possible. In addition, nVent CADDY offers complementary spring steel components that enable complete and strong installations. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Fluke - 1736 three-phase Power LoggerRead moreToday, we are increasingly faced with the need to optimise energy flows, find energy-efficient solutions for large consumers and bring down overall energy consumption. Saving on electrical consumption is therefore one of the topics high on companies' agendas. One of the first tasks in this process is to identify large consumers and try to minimise extra losses due to harmonics, imbalance, ... try to minimise them. For this, the Fluke-1736 is an ideal combination that allows not only to map electrical power flow, but also problems with harmonics, imbalance, mapping. This is therefore usually the first step to start improvement processes.
