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.

Sekisui AlveoRead moreFoam producer Sekisui Alveo has a large factory in Roermond. To support production and maintenance, warehouses and distribution points with thousands of different items are spread across the various halls. Think spare parts, personal protection equipment and consumables. The company cooperates intensively with itsme for management, such as recently with the step-by-step introduction of vendor managed inventory (VMI) for the grab stock of mechanical items.
-
IECRead moreTo control the expansion of a silo park, engineering & construction company IEC called on Breemes. Being involved in the engineering from the beginning, the electrical service provider was able to make smart proposals for both the low-voltage part and the PLC control. ‘We have always been able to find each other well and when changes occurred, we were quickly on the same page with Breemes.’
-
Heliox - Charged for DeliveryRead moreHeliox, a developer and manufacturer of charging systems for electric buses and trucks, was already working with itsme when production still took place in the Netherlands. Today, production has shifted to Slovakia, Portugal, and Moldova, and is also happening in the US. itsme remains the “irreplaceable” partner for the supply of electrical components and cable harnesses.
-
BLOK System SupplyRead moreBlok System Supply and itsme have maintained an intensive relationship for many years. Early last year, this was further deepened with electronic data exchange via the Smart Connected Supplier Network. ‘It saves an enormous amount of time and reduces errors. We always have real-time information automatically.’ However, time for personal contact is not saved. ‘That is precisely what makes itsme a very nice party to work with.’
