Fundamental Communication Protocol for Instrumentation System

Overview

Introduction

This course provides a clear and practical foundation in communication protocols used in modern instrumentation and control systems. Participants learn how field devices communicate with controllers, how digital signals are structured, and how to troubleshoot common communication failures. The training covers key protocols such as HART, Modbus, Profibus, Foundation Fieldbus, and Ethernet/IP used in industry. Real examples and hands-on demonstrations ensure participants understand how communication flows inside process plants.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this training course, the participants will be able to:

Understand how instrumentation devices transmit data using analog and digital protocols.
Configure and interpret common communication standards such as HART and Modbus.
Troubleshoot signal loss, noise issues, and bus communication errors.
Validate network performance and device integration.
Apply safe and effective communication practices in process control systems.
