will address matters such as manufacturing improvements, industrial infra-structure and skills, and why investment and standards such as PROFIBUS & PROFINET remain key to growth and prosperity.
It will be supported by case studies, Master Classes and Workshops for all levels of knowledge and experience.
The Workshops follow a format of multi-vendor collaboration led by a number of experts. These live, hands-on workshops will cover tools and techniques for setup, health checking and trouble shooting, PROFIBUS device configuration and commissioning and how to migrate from legacy systems.
