Foundation Fieldbus

This course has been designed for both novice and experienced engineers, operators, and technicians. The training methodology is a combination of Instructor presentations and case studies. This is followed by a series of videos involving the main course topics. This is complemented by Instructor led workshops with active delegate participation. Throughout the training course, delegates will learn through active participation using review exercises and questionnaires of each major topic.

At the end of this training course, you will learn to:

• Understand the fundamentals of data communications
• Learn the technological principles of Foundation Fieldbus
• Apply Foundation Fieldbus principles to process control
• Develop process controller configurations using FF Function Blocks
• Understand various techniques for the configuration, installation, commissioning, troubleshooting, and maintenance of FF devices

This course should be of interest to a wide range of professionals interested in learning and applying data communications and Foundation Fieldbus to process control and instrumentation.

This course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:
