Smart way to learn more about Industry 4.0

The Smart way to Industry 4.0 with PROFINET Based Technologies is the theme of a free-to-attend seminar co-organised by PROFIBUS & PROFINET International (PI UK) and the European Interreg Project INCASE (Industry 4.0 via Networked Control Applications and Sustainable Engineering).

The seminar will address the key practical issues of digital communications in automated manufacturing, with particular attention to Industry 4.0.

Covering key application areas such as logistics, robotics, automotive engineering, electrical and electronics assembly and control systems, it will be accompanied by hands-on demonstrations and is expected to be of value to designers, production/system engineers, and instrument technicians/engineers involved in design, operation and maintenance of modern automated factories.

Topics will include:

  • Overview of current and developing technologies for Industry 4.0
  • PROFINET basics
  • Ethernet's copper physical layer finally unveiled
  • IO-Link for the 'last metres' communication
  • Network Safety & Security
  • Cybersecurity
  • EMC for networks
  • PROFINET diagnostics
  • Redundancy for PROFINET networks
  • Designing & virtual commissioning: co-simulation with Siemens NX
  • PROFINET's 'oversampling' and 'I-Device' features: industrial cases for control and signal processing

There will be networking opportunities and the chance to discuss technical issues with experts.
