Synopsis:

The course modules combine FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus theory with hands-on exercises that require the student to design, assemble and commission FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus devices using DeltaV DCS, 375 handheld communicator and NI configurator.

Upon completion of the course, the student will understand the fundamentals of FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus, the role of function blocks, addressing, modes and status. You will learn ways to modify current engineering and troubleshoot installations using FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus.
