Description
Remote I/O networking delivers a comprehensive neural system to support the uninterrupted flow of data between remote field sensors an the PLC I/O processor. Unfortunately, very few organizations have the necessary inhouse resources to fully maintain Remote I/O subsystems. This class provides the necesary information for maintenance staff to learn about design, installation, the testing/certification process and how to use the certification data to solve problems during the life cycle of the installed network.
Learning Outcomes
In this class you will learn about network design criteria, be able to create a topography map of the network, be able to calculate the power budget, insertion losses, installation methodology, testing various parameters and be able to generate a report.
