of the technology on existing plant, plus other outlines of technical devel- opments and new capabilities. Included in the presentations will be a session specifically devoted to the uses and limitations of wireless com- munication in automation systems, and other papers will discuss how Profibus systems can be integrated into energy management programmes, particularly in relation to energy effi- cient drives. Most of the lecturers will be available during the conference for separate discussions on topics that are of particular interest.

Celebrating 20 years since Profibus was first introduced, Profibus UK is getting ready to host the seventh annual Profibus and Profinet User Conference, which takes place on 29th and 30th June 2010 at Stratford Manor, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire
F
eaturing a comprehensive, multi- stream educational programme that will lead users through Profibus and Profinet from the
basic technology through to its use in real world industrial and process applications, this two-day conference features application-oriented technical sessions and hands-on workshops pre- sented by technology experts and experienced users and systems builders drawn from a wide variety of application areas. Covering the latest developments in
Profibus, Profinet, PROFIenergy and PROFIsafe technology for factory and process automation, the programme places great emphasis on serving the needs of the user community, i.e. com- panies that own, operate, design, build or maintain manufacturing facilities and process plant. The aim is to assist
28
companies making the transition from conventional to fieldbus systems as easy (and jargon free) as possible. These sessions will include audi-
ence participation and so there will be opportunities to explore for yourself how Profibus and Profinet equipment and techniques are used in practice. The carefully organised schedule means that you can attend hands-on sessions without having to miss an important presentation. The event is supported by a free of charge exhibi- tion with interactive displays and technology demonstrations from the UK’s Profibus Competence Centre and leading product vendors, trainers, con- sultants and systems integrators. A series of technical presentations
offers shared user experience from actual industrial applications, includ- ing how to approach implementation

PROFIenergy
Started from an initiative proposed by AIDA, the group of automotive manu- facturing companies in Germany, that sought to improve the energy effi- ciency of their automated manufactur- ing plants, Profibus International (PI) has developed and introduced PROFIenergy. This is a solution for the energy
management of production equip- ment, which uses existing factory Profinet communications to switch off selected equipment components or even entire systems during normal idle times, such as weekends and holi- days, and also during other brief inter- vals and unscheduled pauses. PROFIenergy is a vendor-neutral
energy savings profile that has been developed in co-operation with a working group comprising many of the major equipment suppliers to the auto- mobile automation and production industries. PROFIenergy allows the power consumption of automation
