Dates and venues have now been set for the 2003 series of 'PROFIBUS Made Easy' seminars organised by PROFIBUS UK. Intended to help engineers and engineering management in automation and process control, each seminar or workshop addresses a distinct aspect of the PROFIBUS range of solutions for industry, from device implementation for OEMs through to design of failsafe systems for machine and process control.

  • PROFIBUS Implementation Made Easy for OEMs ? Manchester, 3 June
  • Safety Made Easy ? 4 June, Manchester
  • PROFIBUS & Ethernet Made Easy ? 5 June, Birmingham
  • Process Applications Made Easy ? 18 June, Manchester


Led by industry experts, each event is designed to bring the audience up to date on the very latest industrial networking and automation technologies. For example the Implementation Workshop (June 3) for field device manufacturers who would like to implement PROFIBUS at the hardware level features Manfred Popp, head of the PROFIBUS Integration Centre in Fürth and author of The Rapid Way to PROFIBUS DP.

The PROFIBUS and Ethernet Made Easy seminar (June 5) is led by Ethernet expert Paul Taylor of Hirschmann and PROFInet expert Manfred Popp of Siemens who will show how PROFIBUS, PROFInet and Ethernet can be combined to offer a complete, seamless hierarchy of automation for modern manufacturing operations.

Andy Verwer, Principal Lecturer at the PROFIBUS Competence Centre at Manchester Metropolitan University will open the Process Applications Made Easy seminar (June 18) with an introduction to PROFIBUS PA. Other presentations will include FDT/DTM, user applications and a paper covering system design for Hazardous areas.

The Safety seminar (June 4) will be led by Technical Committee Chairman Wolfgang Stripf, with speakers including Dr. Andy White of the HSE and Sebastian Strutt of Erwin Sick Ltd. Supported by a demonstration of currently available products, the event will bring delegates up to date with the implementation of the new PROFIsafe profile and generic PROFIsafe driver, enabling compliance to UK and international standards IEC 61508 and pr EN62061.
