Presentations now available to download

This highly practical seminar held in June at the premises of PI UK member Endress + Hauser addressed some of the key issues arising from the use of digital communications technologies in process and hybrid industries. The presentations – many of which were based on actual experience – were of great value to the Instrument Technicians/Engineers, C&I Engineers and System Engineers present on the day.

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

The seminar was ably presented by specialists from PI UK, Mark Carter of BAE Systems, Andy Smith of Endress + Hauser, Andy Verwer of VTC and Mark Freeman and Peter Brown of Siemens. The audience were very appreciative, to judge by the feedback received:

• “Excellent – device configuration especially.” – Daniel Norton, PQ Corp
• “Informative event, cover current relevant topics”. – Bradley Tait, Sellafield Ltd
• “Very good overview + a few good demos.” – Stephen Whittaker, Control Specialists
• “Great venue, good information and content was very relevant.” – Martin Turner, Partech (Electronics) Ltd

The presentations are now available to view and download from PI UK’s Slideshare page at www.slideshare.net/ProfibusUK
