PROFINET, PROFIBUS and IO-Link seminar series postponed to Q4 2021

We were really hoping to be able to present these live seminars with technology demonstrations and tabletop exhibitions in 2020. But the fates conspired against us and we were forced to move them all to the last quarter of 2021.

PROFINET, PROFIBUS and IO-Link seminar series postponed to Q4 2021

Taking place (hopefully) in Birmingham, Strathclyde and Belfast, these events will address the key practical issues arising from the use of digital communications technologies in automated manufacturing and process industry applications, with particular attention to Industry 4.0 and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). They will be of great value to Designers, Production/System Engineers, Instrument Technicians/Engineers and C&I Engineers involved in the design, operation and maintenance of modern automated factories and process plant.

Birmingham is now arranged for 17th November, while the Belfast and Scotland dates are likely to be in November but have yet to be finalised due to the many factors brought about by Covid 19.

The Events

Covering key application areas such as control systems and energy management, pulp & paper, chemical, utilities, pharmaceutical, mechanical handling and logistics, robotics, automotive engineering, electrical and electronics assembly, packaging and printing, the events focus on the practical aspects of using PROFINET, PROFIBUS and IO-Link, from system design and safety & security considerations through to fault-finding and maintenance.

Topics will include (subject to change):

Introduction to PI Group – including highlights of new supported technologies

  • An overview of the Group’s structure and global representation, taking a look at the protocol basics and their benefits to UK industry.

PROFINET network design

  • The fundamental principles of good network design and the main factors that must be considered at the design stage of an automation system.

Network gateway technology

  • Presentation and demonstration of network gateway technology, PROFINET to Profibus DP, PA, IO-Link and OPC UA

Industrial network commissioning and testing

  • Learn how to simplify the process of testing, how to prevent network failures and resolve cable and network issues faster.

PROFIBUS and PROFINET device configuration tools

  • A look at the available tools and FDI with a live demonstration of PROFIBUS and PROFINET device configuration.

Industrial networks safety & security

  • The basics of legislation and responsibilities for cybersecurity, safety and functional safety for Industrial Automation.

Update on Industry 4.0, IIoT, TSN and APL

  • Explanation of IIoT, IND4.0 and Big Data, and how PROFINET is placed as the ideal network to fulfil the above.

These seminars are ably presented by specialists from PI UK member companies. Attendance is free of charge to pre-registered delegates from the User community, i.e. companies that own, operate, design, build or maintain automated process plant and manufacturing facilities.

With nearly 80 million nodes installed worldwide, PROFINET, PROFIBUS and IO-Link are truly market leaders, providing state of the art digital communications addressing all the needs of manufacturing and process 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.

Live Demonstrations

Supported by an exhibition with demonstrations of actual tools used in configuration and maintenance, the seminar will be of great value to Designers, Production/System Engineers, Instrument Technicians/Engineers and C&I Engineers involved in the design, operation and maintenance of modern automated factories and process plant.

These live events will provide delegates with an excellent networking opportunity and the ability to speak to experts.
