2nd UK PROFIBUS / PROFINET / IO-Link Seminar Proves Great Success
“Speakers excellent and provided relevant knowledge without the company blurb!”
That was the comment from Kris Hardaker of United Utilities, reflecting the overall opinion of the nearly 70 delegates that registered for our PROFIBUS, PROFINET, and IO-Link seminar held on Feb 25th at the Manufacturing Technology Centre, Coventry.
The second event of its type in the UK, this free-to-attend seminar addressed the key practical issues arising from the use of digital communications technologies in automated manufacturing and process industry applications. It was supported by a table top exhibition of the latest products from 10 member companies, who were kept very busy in the breaks.
Covering the use of PROFIBUS, PROFINET, and IO-Link in key application areas such as pulp & paper, chemical, utilities, pharmaceutical, packaging, printing, electrical and electronics assembly, robotics, automotive engineering, mechanical handling and logistics, control systems and energy management, the seminar focused on the practical aspects of using these technologies, from system design and safety considerations through to maintenance and fault-finding.
Supported by demonstrations of the actual tools used in configuration and maintenance, these seminar are of great value to Designers, Production/System Engineers, Instrument Technicians/Engineers and C&I Engineers involved in design, operation and maintenance of modern automated factories and process plant.
