PROFIBUS, PROFINET and IO-Link: Seminar

The seminar's revised agenda covers a range of subjects from network design, installation and commissioning through to functional safety & cybersecurity, EMC, Time Sensitive Networking (TSN), PROFINET in Process applications, Advanced Physical Layer (APL), OPC-UA and Industry 4.0

It will be of value to those involved in the design, operation and maintenance of modern automated factories and process plant. Covering key application areas such as mechanical handling and logistics, robotics, automotive engineering, electrical and electronics assembly, control systems and energy management, pulp & paper, chemical, utilities, pharmaceutical, packaging and printing, the event will be supported by an exhibition with demonstrations of tools used in design, configuration, fault finding and maintenance.

With almosty 80 million nodes installed worldwide, PROFIBUS, PROFINET and IO-Link provide state of the art digital communications addressing the needs of manufacturing and process industries, lowering capital expenditure on installation, commissioning and maintenance. They are said to offer unprecedented integration of automation, control, monitoring and safety systems using standardised and widely supported communications and networking solutions.
