This highly practical seminar with supporting table top exhibition

Spellboundaddresses the key issues arising from the use of PROFIBUS and PROFINET in automated manufacturing and advanced engineering applications.

Covering key application areas such as packaging, printing, electrical and electronics assembly, robotics, automotive engineering, drives, mechanical handling and logistics, control systems and energy management, the seminar focuses on the practical aspects of using PROFIBUS and PROFINET in factory automation applications from system design and safety considerations through to maintenance and fault-finding.

Supported by demonstrations of actual tools used in configuration and maintenance, the seminar will be of great value to Designers, Production Engineers and System Engineers involved in design, operation and maintenance of modern automated factories and machinery.

This seminar is ably presented by fieldbus specialists from The PROFIBUS Group member companies. Attendance is free of charge to pre-registered delegates from the User community, i.e. companies that own, operate, design, build or maintain automated plant. The event will provide delegates with an excellent networking opportunity and the ability to speak to our experts whom, we promise, will not force you to buy anything.

Delegates to previous of these seminars have commented:

“Very well presented and a lot of useful information”

“Fantastic as always and very informative”

“Superb day for experience and information”

This highly practical free seminar addresses the key issues

Andy Verwer in full flow

arising from the use of digital fieldbus communications technologies in process and hybrid industries.

Covering the use of PROFIBUS in key application areas such as Pulp & Paper, Chemical, Utilities, Pharmaceutical, Oil & Gas today, it focuses on the practical aspects of using PROFIBUS in process industry applications from system design and hazardous area considerations through to maintenance and fault-finding.

With 50% of the seminar time dedicated to live demonstrations and most of the remainder taken up with practical advice based on actual experience, the programme will be of great value to Instrument Technicians/Engineers, C&I Engineers and System Engineers involved in design, operation and maintenance of modern process plant.

Presentations include:

  • Introduction to the Manufacturing Technology Centre
  • PROFIBUS for Process – an introduction to PROFIBUS DP/PA and PROFINET
  • PROFIBUS DP/PA network design and component selection
  • PROFIBUS DP/PA network health checking
  • PROFIBUS device configuration and device commissioning using FDT/DTM and EDDL based tools. Live demonstrations
  • PROFIBUS profiles
  • Process control loop optimisation using PROFIBUS PA devices and tools. Live demonstration
  • Optional tour of the MTC workshops

A Great Success for PROFIBUS and PROFINET

PROFIBUS UK's 20th Anniversary Conference was a great success
when nearly 100 people gathered together at a conference held at the Stratford Manor Hotel, Warwickshire on 25 and 26 June 2013. Presented by The PROFIBUS Group, the event was organised as a celebration of the group’s 20th Anniversary. The programme of formal papers and hands-on workshops was presented by experts from the UK, Europe and Canada.

Delegates were very impressed with the standard and quality of the event as the following comments show:

“Great to see the conference back. Very useful opportunity to talk to vendors and experts about developments and changes in PROFIBUS/PROFINET technologies. ” – Nick Wood, LaFarge Tarmac

“Very enlightening – many things discussed which I was totally unaware of  (Government initiatives etc.)  Excellent day – well worth taking the time out to visit.” – Steve Bolton, Gassco

“Very good, very interesting & educational.” – M. Mead, Gassco

“As well as being a celebration of PI’s 20 years this event provided a concentrated dose of technology updates which no-one involved in automation should miss.” – Dale Fittes, Hitex

“Worthwhile visit.” – Ian McCartney, iTech

“Very well organised event. Very informative day for present and future developments with PROFIBUS and PROFINET technologies.  Excellent Workshops for hands-on opportunities.  Lots of exhibitors to talk to. Thanks to all the contributors.” – Kevin Shaw, Siemens

“Once again another fantastic event, a good opportunity to not only meet up with old friends but to make some new contacts. The quality of the presentations and workshops didn’t disappoint! Looking forward to the next one and finding out how things have progressed further in the world of PROFIBUS.” – Andy Morse, AJM Engineering Management Ltd

“Good to see you back. May there be many more!” – Mark Cargill, Wipro
