Practical Aspects of PROFIBUS PA in Process – be among the first to claim your free place
The PROFIBUS Group has organised a free seminar that 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 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.
Supported by live demonstrations of actual tools used in calibration and maintenance, 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.
Standardised in IEC 61158, PROFIBUS PA is a state of the art digital fieldbus designed specifically to address the needs of the process industries. It replaces or works in conjunction with conventional 4..20mA technology, significantly lowering capital expenditure on installation and offering unprecedented, centralised access to instrumentation and field device information. Many additional practical benefits are derived from its use especially in hazardous areas.
Kindly hosted by ABB at their Daresbury, Warrington facility the seminar is ably presented by fieldbus specialists Andy Verwer of the PROFIBUS Competence Centre at MMU, Gareth Johnson and Ian Stevens of ABB, Mark Cargill of Enpure, Tony Grassby and Andy Smith of Endress + Hauser, Steve Dickinson of Pepperl+Fuchs and Mark McCormick of Siemens. Attendance is free
of charge to pre-registered delegates from the User community, i.e. companies that own, operate, design, build or maintain process plant.
