Fieldbus protocol 2 days (14h)

PROFINET

Understand how PROFINET networks work and develop associated devices.

Course Description

This PROFINET training gives engineers a practical understanding of PROFINET, the industrial Ethernet standard widely used in factory automation, and how to build and integrate compliant devices.

What the PROFINET training covers

The course covers the PROFINET communication model, real-time (RT) and isochronous real-time (IRT) channels, conformance classes (A/B/C), the device and controller roles, the GSDML device description, addressing and neighbourhood detection, and diagnostics. The relationship to TSN and to PROFIsafe is introduced.

Who should attend

Embedded and integration engineers, commissioning and test engineers, and technical managers developing or deploying PROFINET equipment.

What you will learn

By the end, participants understand PROFINET RT/IRT communication, conformance classes and GSDML, and can integrate and diagnose PROFINET devices and controllers.
