The PTO's main role is to show industrial automation developers and users the
beneficial results of using fieldbus - in particular PROFIBUS and PROFINET - in
North American discrete manufacturing and process automation applications. PTO
assists device vendors and OEMs in the design, development and marketing of
PROFIBUS and PROFINET fieldbus products. PTO also helps end users to understand
and make optimum use of PROFIBUS and PROFINET across the enterprise.
One-day Training Schedule for 2010 Now Available
The PTO has completed the schedule for the no-cost one-day training classes for 2010. The cities have been selected, and interested individuals can now register at their leisure. Exact dates are still being finalized and will be placed on the website as soon as they are available.
Upcoming firm dates include Albuquerque, Nashville, St. Louis, Richmond, and Pittsburgh.
PROFIsafe webinar scheduled
PTO and the PROFI Interface Center announced that they have scheduled a webinar on PROFIsafe scheduled for April 1 at 2:00pm Eastern Time. PROFIsafe will be explained and background on its permissible use in the US will be presented. Details here.
It’s Not Easy Being Green
“It’s not easy being green.” At least that used to be the case. But that was before PROFIenergy.
With PROFIenergy, for Energy Management on PROFINET, users can actively and effectively manage energy in their automation systems. By purposefully switching off unnecessary consumers, energy demand and, thus, energy costs can be drastically reduced.
So begins an article in PROFINET News called “Get Energy Costs Under Control.” Read the article to see the use cases that PROFIenergy handles. For more information including pictures and video visit the PROFIblog.
Certified Network Engineer Classes for 2010
The PTO and PROFI Interface Center (PIC) announce the 2010 dates for PROFItech classes, now beginning their tenth year! PROFItech classes are offered for both PROFIBUS and PROFINET. Attendees who successfully complete the written and practical tests are rewarded with the title Certified Network Engineer.
PROFIBUS PA classes have been added to the schedule.
