Greetings!

I'd like to invite you to claim a Free Place at the next in our series of Factory Automation seminars, this time in the south of England.

Back by popular demand, this seminar addresses the key practical issues arising from the use of digital communications technologies in automated manufacturing and advanced engineering applications. Covering the use of PROFIBUS and PROFINET in key application areas such as packaging, printing, electrical and electronics assembly, robotics, automotive engineering, drives, mechanical handling and logistics, control systems and energy management, it focuses on the practical aspects of using PROFIBUS and PROFINET in factory automation applications from system design and safety considerations through to maintenance and fault-finding.

Supported by demonstrations of actual tools used in configuration and maintenance, the seminar will be of great value to Designers, Production Engineers and System Engineers involved in design, operation and maintenance of modern automated factories and machinery.

Standardised in IEC 61158, PROFIBUS and PROFINET provide state of the art digital communications addressing all the needs of the manufacturing and materials handling industries, significantly lowering capital expenditure on installation, commissioning and maintenance. They offer unprecedented integration of automation, control, monitoring and safety systems using standardised and widely supported communications and networking solutions.
 
The seminar is ably presented by fieldbus specialists Andy Verwer of VTC, Alan Bollard of Westermo, Derek Lane of WAGO, Mark Freeman and Peter Brown of Siemens Automation & Drives. Attendance is free of charge to pre-registered delegates from the User community, i.e. companies that own, operate, design, build or maintain automated plant. 

This is what delegates have said about previous presentations of this seminar: "Very well presented and a lot of useful information" "Fantastic as always and very informative" "Superb day for experience and information"

If you'd like to learn how to simplify your PROFIBUS automation application ... don't miss this one-day Seminar!
