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.

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.

Eneco - Green light for green electricity and steamRead moreEneco Bio Golden Raand, located in the port area of Delfzijl, converts biomass into green electricity and green steam. Each year, the plant processes approximately 300,000 tons of waste wood from the Netherlands and neighboring countries. As part of Eneco’s climate ambitions, a project began in 2022 to replace the existing fluorescent lighting in and around the boiler room. The project was carried out under the supervision of itsme. “Two factors were important in this process: the cost, of course, but also the level of service.”
