The fifth annual UK Profibus and Profinet User Conference will combine the conference with practical workshops and and exhibition featuring many live demonstrations.
Fieldbus networks keep baggage systems running
Marco Polo Airport, Venice, uses redundant Profibus DP fieldbus networks on the high-availability baggage handling system that processes up to 4000 items of luggage per hour.
Organised by the Profibus Group, it 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 and paper, chemical, utilities, pharmaceutical, oil and 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 and I engineers and system engineers involved in design, operation and maintenance of modern process plant.
Standardised in IEC61158, 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 Daresbury, Warrington, Cheshire the seminar is ably presented by fieldbus specialists Andy Verwer of the Profibus Competence Centre at MMU, Mark Cargill of EnPure, Tony Grassby of Endress + Hauser, Gareth Johnston of ABB and Anthony Mayall and Mark McCormick of Siemens Automation and Drives.
Attendance is free of charge to preregistered delegates from the user community, ie companies that own, operate, design, build or maintain process plant.
The agenda includes: practical steps for a successful Profibus project; component selection, including hazardous area considerations; calibration, with live demonstration of Siemens - PDM, ABB - 800xA and E and H - field care; and maintenance - fault finding demonstration.
