The three distinct series this year covered PROFIBUS, PROFIBUS in the Process Industry, and PROFINET. For 2006, free one-day training courses are being planned. These will cover:

• The economic and technical advantages of using a fieldbus
• Review of all popular fieldbus choices with special emphasis on
  • PROFIBUS
  • PROFIBUS in the Process Industry
  • PROFINET
• Technical details of PROFIBUS in the Process Industry, or PROFINET (different cities will have different focuses), including
  • standards
  • protocols
  • wiring
  • troubleshooting
  • diagnostics
  • safety
• Hardware and software demonstrations using equipment from multiple vendors
• A detailed specific application example

All courses include: Breakfast, Lunch, Door Prizes, Hosted Reception. Vendor displays show available hardware, but there are no sales presentations!

Industrial Ethernet growth is predicted to be over 50% per year. Attend the PROFINET training to see how you can benefit from this technology.

In a recent ARC survey on fieldbuses, 85% of the respondents agreed that the total lifecycle cost for a fieldbus installation was less than a conventional installation. And 45% expected a payback in less than one year (27% in less than six months). Attend this training to see how your company can save by using a fieldbus!
