For EtherCAT technology R&D personnel and units in South China, we plan to hold EtherCAT training courses in Shenzhen from October 23rd to 25th, and we sincerely invite interested units to register.
In the EtherCAT basic training course on October 23rd, you can learn detailed information related to EtherCAT technology to plan EtherCAT applications or projects for developing EtherCAT-related products. The development training course for slave/master stations on October 24-25 is aimed at member units with a strong demand for EtherCAT slave/master station development, please be sure to verify your membership status.
This training is a paid service provided by Beckhoff, with a training fee of: ¥3710/person/day (including tax). Please contact Beckhoff to sign the training order as soon as you register.
