Academy
First-hand knowledge
While the PROFIBUS- and CAN-communication in their various forms is a well established technique with a large installed base, PROFINET is still an early stage technology. Accordingly, the demand for information for these technologies is different.
As official PROFINET COMPETENCE CENTER we offer training for both, the basics of the technology and for standard-compliant installation and reliable operation of the communications network in its equipment base.
CAN - Troubleshooting Training
Overview
After the first day of the training, you will be familiar with the concept underlying CAN and the characteristics of CAN bus. The training provides key knowledge of the CANopen protocol and presents the characteristic features of data transmission with CANopen. Participants will also get to know the basic elements of the DeviceNet protocol and the characteristics of DeviceNet data transmission.
The second day is dedicated to hands-on training showing you how to analyze networks that are not working properly.
You will learn how to correctly interpret the test results and develop the appropriate problem solving strategies. Based on real-world examples and supported by our trainers, you will learn how to work with communication and analysis tools in order to eliminate avoidable downtimes and make communication more robust.

Target group
At the end of this training, you will be familiar with the communication possibilities provided by CAN protocols. This training is tailored to engineers and technicians whose job is to commission and maintain CAN / CANopen and DeviceNet networks. This course has been developed especially for those people responsible for ensuring robust communication to guarantee a smooth production process.
