Then each manufacturer in sequence will have 10 minutes to highlight how their system meets these criteria.
This is followed by a question and answer session from the floor where the delegates attending the conference will quickly be able to question, compare and contrast the presentations.
The conference will be held as part of IRCHEM 2003, the premier Ireland process and industrial exhibition.
It is sponsored by ISA Ireland, the Instrumentation, Systems and Automation society.
It will be held on 16th September 2003.
The conference will allow the attendees to examine four aspects of control in the modern era particularly in the light of the communications revolution of the last ten years.
The conference topics.
Control and communication - future proofing your system.
Electronic paper/batch tracking - the next level.
Accessibility and interoperability of control systems.
Security of the network, data and the prevention of hostile attacks on the system.
Each segment is first addressed by a user or avowed expert in that particular field.
Then each manufacturer (ABB, Emerson, Honeywell and Siemens) give a brief presentation showing their particular take on that aspect.
The organisers have been fortunate in securing the services of Andrew Bond, possibly the leading independent commentator on control systems and automation in Europe, to chair the seminar.
He is the editor of the incisive "Industrial Automation Insider".
Other speakers will come from mainland Europe, Britain and the US as well as from Ireland.
