Free-to-attend seminars addressing the key practical issues arising from the use of digital communications in industrial and process automation.

Seminar session
  • Strathclyde, 1/2 April 2014
Organised by The PROFIBUS Group these free-to-attend seminars are the perfect introduction to both PROFIBUS and PROFINET, presenting delegates an ideal opportunity to network with experts and other users. They consist of easy-to-understand presentations supported by live demonstrations of actual tools used in installation, configuration and maintenance. There is also a table-top exhibition of related products.
Intended to help beginners and existing users, the events will be of great value to Designers, Production Engineers and System Engineers and maintenance personnel involved in design, operation and maintenance of modern automated factories, machinery and process plant.

Special Rewards for Attendees

The  PROFIBUS International Competence Centre at Manchester Metropolitan University has recently published 2 new textbooks entitled PROFIBUS in Practice. Written by Dr Xiu Ji, Principal Lecturer, these are excellent study guides for anyone serious about correct installation and commissioning of systems. All attendees to these free seminars will be able to take away with them a free copy of one of these highly informative books, either Vol 1 on Installation or Vol 2 on System Engineering, Troubleshooting and Maintenance
There will also be a special offer of discounted Membership of The PROFIBUS Group – attendees at the event will be entitled to claim a 10% discount from the first year’s subscription and pay no joining fee, a saving of at least £150 on the usual cost!

Practical Aspects of PROFIBUS & PROFINET in Process 

  • Strathclyde, 1st April 2014

This seminar addresses the key practical issues arising from the use of digital fieldbus communications technologies in process and hybrid industries. Covering the use of PROFIBUS PA and PROFINET 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.

PROFIBUS in Practice Vol 2 Troubleshooting bookThe second textbook in the PROFIBUS in Practice series

provides a fundamental analysis into PROFIBUS network behaviour and plenty of techniques for troubleshooting, commissioning and maintenance on operational PROFIBUS DP and PA systems. It is for engineers and technicians involved in commissioning and maintenance of PROFIBUS installations.

With networks being installed at the field level, a multi-meter is no longer sufficient. Technicians and engineers need to know what fieldbus engineering tools are available and how to use them for device and network parameterisation, analysis and diagnosis. This book is intended to fill the gap.

The PROFIBUS in Practice Series

Written by Dr Xiu Ji and published by Manchester Metropolitan University, the PROFIBUS in Practice series consists of four parts. Part I covers the installation of PROFIBUS devices and cables. Part II looks at PROFIBUS system engineering, trouble-shooting and maintenance. Part III will cover PROFIBUS system design while Part IV will address PROFIBUS operation, protocol and applications.

Use with MMU’s PROFIBUS Training Courses

After booking a place on one of MMU’s PROFIBUS Commissioning & Maintenance courses or Certified PROFIBUS Engineer courses, students are posted a copy of the textbook which is used for preparation and revision.

Students that have already used the text book have reported that together with the preparatory on line study it has been of great assistance in helping them prepare for the rather intensive courses

The book is also available to order from Amazon. Click here to order PROFIBUS in Practice Part II.
