Conference to draw UK and European bus experts
The fifth annual UK Profibus and Profinet User Conference will combine the conference with practical workshops and and exhibition featuring many live demonstrations.
By taking advantage of a number of firmly established IT standards such as Ethernet, TCP/IP, COM/DCOM, XML and defining a standard interface between the automation objects, Profinet reduces substantially the engineering overhead in design and installation of distributed automation systems.
Available now in English, the new guideline may be ordered from Profibus UK at GBP 72 (GBP 36 for members of Profibus UK) plus postage, packing and VAT.
Other items covering Profinet are also available, including the architecture description and specification, and the actual software, which full members of Profibus International can download free of charge from the web at Profibus website.
