'Practical Aspects of Profibus PA in Process' is an essential seminar addressing 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 and paper, chemical, utilities, pharmaceutical, oil and 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.

Supported by live demonstrations of actual tools used in calibration and maintenance, the programme will be of great value to designers, instrument technicians/engineers, C+I engineers and system engineers involved in design, operation and maintenance of modern process plant.

Standardised in IEC 61158, Profibus PA is a state of the art digital fieldbus designed specifically to address the needs of the process industries.

It replaces or works in conjunction with conventional 4..20mA technology, significantly lowering capital expenditure on installation and offering unprecedented, centralised access to instrumentation and field device information.

Many additional practical benefits are derived from its use especially in hazardous areas.

These seminars are ably presented by fieldbus specialists Andy Verwer of the Profibus Competence Centre at MMU, Mark Cargill of Enpure, Tony Grassby of Endress + Hauser, Gareth Johnston of ABB, Steve Dickinson of Pepperl+Fuchs and Mark McCormick of Siemens Automation and Drives.

Attendance is free of charge to pre-registered delegates from the user community, i.e companies that own, operate, design, build or maintain process plant.
