Preview Profibus & Profinet User Conference
equipment in manufacturing (such as robot assembly cells, laser cutters and sub-systems such as paint lines) to be managed over a Profinet network. It offers an open and standardised means of controlling energy usage during planned and unplanned breaks in pro- duction. No external hard-wired sys- tems are required, the profile can be integrated into individual components by means of a firmware update, and implementation into the first products is expected in 2010. PROFIenergy technology will be
described and explained further at the annual Profibus and Profinet User con- ference alongside several other papers that discuss how Profibus and Profinet systems can be integrated into energy management programmes, particularly in relation to energy efficient drives.
Major convention
This major convention for users and potential users of modern automation systems offers the choice of three par- allel styles of presentation, for each delegate to create the most effective and relevant learning experience in relation to his plant and experience. These three streams offer technical
and user experience presentations; hands-on practical training and demonstrations of the hardware, fault finding techniques and remote diag- nostics; and thirdly an exhibition of equipment from relevant suppliers, where experts and presenters will be on hand to explain how to apply their solutions on your plant application. The conference is said to be an ideal
venue for plant managers, engineers, instrument technicians and automa- tion professionals to meet Profibus and Profinet users from different com- panies or industries, to discuss the benefits and techniques that have been applied in different situations: it is also said to be an ideal way to intro- duce colleagues to the technology, as well as for them to learn about the practical aspects of applying and using Profibus on a typical plant, in advance of their own automation or energy saving projects. More about the Profibus and Profinet User Conference can be found on the conference website
www.profi-
bus.co.uk where a full programme of presentations and a registration form are available.
Who should attend?
The programme of parallel conference presentations, hand-on practical ses- sions and exhibition mean that this event will suit anyone involved in, or thinking about, fieldbus, intelligent instrumentation and actuation or net- worked control systems applications. Supported by live demonstrations of

actual tools used in calibration and maintenance, the programme will be of great value to instrument techni- cians/engineers, C&I engineers and system engineers involved in design, operation and maintenance of modern process and manufacturing plant. A Certificate of Attendance will be issued to all delegates to add to their professional training records.
B for beginners
There will be a ‘Beginners’ Track’ fea- turing a number of presentations and workshops specially developed for beginners. These will be clearly indi- cated with a ‘B’ on the programme.
Multi-vendor challenge
In a special workshop session, a number of suppliers have been invited to install their products into a network that will be assembled live in front of the audience, showing how each com- ponent is connected up and configured.
Free prize draw
All delegates will be entered into a free prize draw with the opportunity to win prizes including places on the Certified Profibus Installer and Commissioning and Maintenance courses donated by the Profibus Competence Centre at MMU.
