Training PROFIBUS - Basics, Diagnostics & Network Troubleshooting, 2 days
Learn how to understand and effectively manage industrial PROFIBUS networks in practice. This two-day training course will teach you the principles of PROFIBUS operation, network management, diagnostics, and troubleshooting in real production environments. The training is based on the long-term experience of FOXON technicians, who have been measuring, repairing, and modernizing industrial networks since 2008. The course combines essential theory with a large number of practical demonstrations, measurements, and real-world examples. As a result, you will gain a clear understanding of how PROFIBUS really works and how to prevent the most common issues in production. The training takes place at the FOXON Academy in Liberec or directly at your manufacturing site. More

The FOXON Academy classroom in Liberec for training in PROFINET, PROFIBUS, OPC, data collection and other topics.
What you will learn
- PROFIBUS communication fundamentals: cabling, transmission rates and communication participants.
- Line, star, tree and ring topologies; their properties and diagnostics.
- Network segmentation principles, station addressing and communication cycle optimisation.
- Rules for connecting connectors, cables, repeaters and multirepeaters.
- Diagnostics of station supply voltage, electromagnetic and electrostatic induction.
- The most common PROFIBUS network faults, their diagnostics and removal.
- Using ProfiTrace2 analysers for portable and COMbricks for permanent diagnostics.
- Practical exercises: every participant has their own computer and ProfiTrace2 tester.
- Modern network management, diagnostics and modernisation for greater robustness and reliability.
Since 2008, FOXON has been the official distributor of ProfiTrace2 and COMbricks analysers in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
Two days connecting principles with practice
Day 1: fundamentals and first measurements
Theoretical fundamentals, the most common faults, and first measurements of PROFIBUS cables and communication.
Day 2: practical diagnostics
Measurement and data analysis from real operating situations using ProfiTrace2. You will identify faults, analyse oscillograms, evaluate communication quality and create reports yourself.
The state-of-the-art FOXON Academy classroom provides every participant with their own PC and ProfiTrace2 tester. On our training setups, we simulate faults, events and unstable conditions that genuinely occur in PROFIBUS networks. You will see their symptoms, measure them and learn to evaluate their causes correctly.
The instruction is supported by numerous practical examples and more than 18 years of FOXON experience in service interventions and industrial network audits.
Every participant has their own PC and ProfiTrace2 PROFIBUS tester.
What you will take away
Management and diagnostics
You will be able to manage and diagnose PROFIBUS networks.
Fault resolution
You will recognise and remove communication faults.
A more robust network
You will measure and analyse network quality and propose measures for greater reliability.
Gain a deep understanding of how PROFIBUS works in practice and the ability to respond quickly to faults while improving network reliability proactively.
For teams that maintain and develop PROFIBUS
For electrical maintenance personnel and service technicians, PLC programmers, system integrators and maintenance managers.

Jaromír Peterka
For almost 20 years, he has focused on industrial communications—especially PROFINET and PROFIBUS—in diagnostics, fault resolution and preventive measurement.
During training, he shares experience from thousands of real problems in manufacturing plants. His own methodology helps participants understand how networks work, see typical faults, learn to find their causes systematically and gain procedures they can use straight away.
On dedicated training setups, participants test network behaviour, diagnostics and real-world problem solving themselves. The goal is confidence in knowing what to do when a network fails in production.
We do not teach theory. We teach a process that works in production.
In the field since 2008
Thousands of measured and repaired networks, with experience from real production across industries.
Experience faults yourself
Our own training centre and portable PROFIBUS training network are also available for on-site customer training.
Know-how with real weight
PI certification, authorised distribution of diagnostic tools and participation in their development.
We operate in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and throughout the EU. We implemented the largest permanent PROFIBUS monitoring system at the Hyundai plant. For hundreds of other customers, we have measured, repaired and modernised PROFIBUS networks so that they are more stable and operate reliably over the long term. FOXON Academy also develops technicians' knowledge in other industrial automation fields.
More than 1,500 trained technicians. See participant feedback.
Select a date for your team

PROFIBUS: 3 Sins and 10 Tips
The PROFIBUS industrial bus is highly tolerant and will forgive many faults. But if a critical fault occurs—or several small ones accumulate—you will definitely notice. That’s why this aging industrial network deserves attention. Even if faults on your network are still rare, they will gradually accumulate. What do our technicians recommend? What are their 10 tips for maintaining PROFIBUS?
NEW: Network diagnostics from EUR 304
Your network, too, could be on the verge of a “heart attack” without you even knowing it. Yet you can have its health checked from as little as EUR 304. And within 50 km of Liberec, we do not charge any travel costs. At the same time, we are expanding our services to cover additional network types. We measure and repair PROFINET, PROFIBUS, CAN, DeviceNet, EtherCAT, Ethernet, ASi and Wi-Fi.
