A free seminar that addresses the key issues surrounding the use of digital fieldbus communications technologies in process and hybrid industries is being held on the 4 November 2005 in Daresbury, UK.

Based on the actual use of Profibus DP and PA in key application areas such as water and wastewater treatment, and the chemicals, pharmaceutical, food and beverage industries, the seminar will show why Profibus is the logical choice, bringing benefits such as lower cost of ownership, greater plant safety and reliability, greater choice to deploy 'best of breed' and 'best of class' solutions from the world's leading automation system, software and specialist component suppliers.

This is an excellent opportunity for users to learn how Profibus addresses key engineering and management issues including asset management, interoperability and interchangeability and universal engineering tools.

The event will be supported by live demonstrations and case studies to clearly illustrate each point covered.

Standardised in IEC 61158, Profibus PA is a digital fieldbus that is 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, the event is free of charge to preregistered delegates from the user community, that is, companies that own, operate, design, build or maintain process plant.
