 Did you miss our Free Seminars?
Our recent "Practical Aspects of PROFIBUS and PROFINET" seminars were very attended, with over 100 people attending in two locations to find out the benefits of PROFIBUS and PROFINET in Factory or Process automation.
For the benefit of anybody that would have liked to attend but could not due to problems with dates or location, we will be running them again next Spring, this time in the south of England and then in the north in the Autumn.
In the meantime, the presentations are available for download from the Training Courses page of our Conference and Training website.

Engineer. More info
PROFIBUS
Installer + Commissioning & Maintenance
