PROFIBUS at Instrumentation Scotland
The PROFIBUS Group will be supporting this biennial event that returns
to Aberdeen on 8th & 9th September. We will be on Stand 105.
This
focussed exhibition, located in the heart of the Offshore Industry, not
only brings together the many companies who supply products and
services specific to this sector but to others involved in processing,
power generation, paper, distilling, water and waste, and marine
engineering in North East Scotland. There is a
full and varied seminar programme that visitors can attend free of
charge, to find out the latest technological developments and updates
from industry experts.
The event is free to enter and includes free parking and free lunch.

Practical Aspects of
PROFIBUS in
Process is on October 6th
This seminar 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 & Paper, Chemical, Utilities, Pharmaceutical,
Oil & 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.
More details and event registration
while Practical Aspects of PROFIBUS &
PROFINET in Factory Automation is on October 5th and concentrates on 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
