Data Communication & Fieldbus Systems



Introduction:


This program takes an in-depth look at the divisive field of data communications and Fieldbus systems. The increasing trend towards digital communications within the industrial plant environment has brought in its wake a myriad of problems concerned with interconnectivity and differing standards offered by a wide variety of competing vendors. For the user, it has become progressively more difficult to differentiate between the proffered options.  

 

Designed for both novice and experienced engineers and technicians, this program starts at fundamental principles and progresses through basic coding and formatting systems, error detection, and protocols through to advanced Fieldbus and device networking concepts. Throughout the program, participants will learn through active participation using exercises, questionnaires, and practical troubleshooting using protocol analysis and covering:

 

  • RS 232
  • RS 485
  • Modbus
  • Networking
  • TCP/IP

Course Objectives:


By the end of this course, delegates will be able to:

 

  • Appreciate the basic principles of data communications
  • Understand the essential differences between asynchronous and synchronous transmission
  • Apply basic faultfinding techniques covering rs232 up to rs485
  • Understand the importance of the ISO OSI model
