Comments from Beta Testers

The Tutorial includes a Laboratory Manual for use by Tech Schools, Community Colleges, Company Training Departments, Apprenticeship Programs and individuals.

It also includes a calculator for determining the voltage drop of the network.  This is critical in the design and maintenance of an efficient DeviceNet.

The results of the calculations are graphically displayed on the next screen, emphasizing the results.

The high level of interactivity engages the student and brings each concept to life.

DeviceNet Tutor-Level 1 includes a simulation of Cutler Hammer Automation's NetView Software. The simulation covers Explicit Messaging.

A unit covering tips and tricks to the successful commissioning of a network is also included.  These are things we learned the "hard-way!"

The tutorial also includes a final Quiz.  Once the student scores 85% or above, a certificate of completion, with the student's name and score are printed.

"Really appreciated having the lab manual in this format so a person could print only what they wanted. "
"Great job!! I would definitely recommend using this in the classroom."

Jim Bullington:

"It rates a big coooooool."

Marty McKinsey:

"I found the DeviceNet Tutor 1 to be a very good training tool and I expect that the College will be purchasing a few packages."

"One of the best explanations of Power Supply and network design I have seen."
