The Fieldbus centre at Lee College will be offering Fieldbus For Sales Professionals, a one-day certified training course intended for controls and instrumentation sales professionals needing a general understanding of Foundation Fieldbus technology, on 28 September 2007. Fieldbus For Sales Professionals is designed for inside and outside sale representatives, as well as service personnel employed by plant automation equipment suppliers. The class does not require previous experience with digital control systems. The course provides an overview of the open, nonproprietary Foundation fieldbus protocol. Attendees study basic fieldbus-related facts and terminology, and learn how to resolve common technology issues. The differences between digital control systems and traditional instrumentation, and how fieldbus can be cost-effectively integrated into project bid packages will also be reviewed. While offering a vendor-neutral perspective on the key aspects of fieldbus technology, course content can be customised to highlight specific supplier solutions or product features.
