Trainer For Field Bus Applications: Product Information, Features and Applications
Trainer For Field Bus Applications is listed in the Process Control Eengineering category at Interlabs. This page explains the product information available in the catalogue and provides practical guidance for evaluating the item against your laboratory, educational or industrial requirements.
Overview of Trainer For Field Bus Applications
Trainer For Field Bus Applications is included in the Interlabs Process Control Eengineering range. The product’s intended role, construction and suitability should be assessed using the manufacturer’s or supplier’s confirmed product information and the requirements of the task for which it is being considered.
Field bus technology plays a key role in modern-day process automation. The field bus permits networking of terminal devices such as controllers, sensors or actuators in the plant system (field level) with the higher-level control room (control level). A network of this kind can be quite extensive; line lengths of as much as 1000 metres and more are possible.This benchtop trainer is used to teach the initial basic steps in field bus technology based on the example of Profibus DP. Various terminal devices (slaves) are activated and read by a PC with a Profibus DP interface (master). The required hardware is largely pre-configured. Students are able to concentrate on the software programming of the field bus system. The following specific topics can be covered: System configurator with DMF (Device Master File), bus topology, communication protocols, tags, OPC (OLE forProcess Control) server, input and output of process data, and much more. The unit includes a digital process controller as well as analogue and digital input and output modules with a Profibus DP interface. Two potentiometers permit the simulation of input signals for the controllers. A digital voltmeter displays the output signals. Digital signals are generated by switches and displayed by LEDs. The controlled variable, manipulating variable and reference variable data are delivered as standard signals at lab jacks, enabling the controllers to be incorporated into real processes at any time. Clearly structured instructional material outlines the fundamentals and provides a step-by-step guide through the exercises.
