Objectives and Structure of the Training

The user training for CAN based fieldbus systems from Indu-Sol qualifies your staff within one day in the theory and practice of CAN based networks.

The training is structured so that all participants from the departments planning, commissioning, maintenance and service become acquainted with the subject of CAN/CANopen/DeviceNet/SafetyBus p in a straightforward manner. Basic knowledge of industrial automation is recommended.

The training participation is confirmed by a certificate from Indu-Sol.

Target Group

Employees from the departments planning, commissioning, maintenance and service

Content of the Training

General principles of CANBUS protocol
