Bill Tatum called the educational seminar "a milestone event" for the Brazil end-user community.
"We are pleased to offer this comprehensive, vendor-neutral technology instruction to users in the region.
Typically, companies receiving rapid payback from fieldbus projects are the ones devoting time up front to attend training courses".
Tatum continued, "Our 2007 seminar programme has been fine-tuned to help students understand the real advantages of Foundation fieldbus technology.
The seminar curriculum now focuses on three key subjects.
The first area is open, scalable integration.
The next module, focusing on process integrity, talks about distributing control to field devices, function blocks, and asynchronous communications.
We then go into business intelligence, including advanced diagnostics, asset management, and OpEx savings with fieldbus".
In addition to a technical programme, the Sao Paulo seminar will include tabletop displays of the latest Foundation fieldbus products and solutions.
