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.
Faster to Market with Industrial Ethernet – PROFINET Developer Workshops announced
The increasing demand for Industrial Ethernet products prompted the scheduling of four PROFINET Developer Workshops this year (up from three last year). The workshops are designed for device developers, development managers and product marketers. They will help you choose a faster time-to-market path.
New: A free seat in a Certified Network Training class will be awarded to each device manufacturer that attends! See news item for details.

PTO Announces Webinar Series for Process
Recognizing that not everyone can come to a city where PTO offers a PROFIBUS in the Process Industries one-day training class, the PTO has created a series of four webinars on the topic. The first webinar is scheduled for June 25 at 2:00pm EDT. It will present an introduction to fieldbuses in general and review the evolution from hard-wired devices to fieldbuses.
