Introduction
This workshop is fully concentrated on those who install and maintain PROFIBUS installations. This module supplies a complete knowledge package that can be put into practice immediately. The participant will learn how to analyse, localise and solve a problem. Theory about cabling, shielding, grounding and measurement tools is the basis of this knowledge. With the help of practical exercises, the participant will put theory into practice.

At the end of this workshop, the participants are fully capable to maintain, strategically localize, analyse and solve problems in PROFIBUS installations. The participants will also learn about
cabling techniques, shielding, grounding and PROFIBUS components. They will also be able to handle the necessary measurement tools.
