The PROFIBUS Group was founded at a meeting held at C&I show May 1993. The initial membership was just 7 companies. 20 years on, the Group has grown in size and significance and now lists around 70 member companies.
We’ll be commemorating our formation with a one-day Conference with Workshops and Table Top Exhibition to be held at The Stratford Manor Hotel, Stratford-upon-Avon, where we have held conferences for a number of years.
Feedback gained from previous conferences clearly indicated that we should continue to focus on the User community. Consequently this event will concentrate on the real issues of implementation, maintenance and management of PROFIBUS and PROFINET systems.
The conference is designed for engineers, managers and indeed anyone concerned with the real issues of implementing fieldbus and/or industrial Ethernet technologies. The conference programme will contain a mixture of presentations, demonstrations and hands-on practical sessions that are suitable for a wide variety of experience; from first-time users to those with extensive experience with working systems.
In addition, the Conference will cover latest developments in PROFIBUS and PROFINET technology for factory and process automation including safety, motion control, wireless implementations and integration with the Internet and MES. The event will be supported by a table top exhibition.
We now need speakers who are willing to make a short (30/40 minute) presentation on applications and other user aspects of PROFIBUS and PROFINET. Topics can include system design, commissioning and maintenance and can cover any application area or industry sector. Interactive presentations featuring live demonstrations and hands-on activities are particularly welcome. We are also seeking proposals for papers covering the latest developments in PROFIBUS and PROFINET technology as well as case studies illustrating their use in real world applications.
