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 and CERTIFIED TRAINING CENTER we offer trainings for both, the basics of the technology and for standard-compliant installation and reliable operation of the communications network in its equipment base.
