PROFINET, PROFIBUS and IO-Link Training Opportunities
Learn more about PROFINET,
PROFIBUS and IO-Link
PI UK is organising a number of freeto-attend
training events across the UK
designed to answer your questions and
show you how to address key practical
issues in automated manufacturing and
process industry applications.
Paying particular attention to Industry
4.0 and the Industrial Internet of Things
(IIoT), they will cover key application
areas such as control systems and
energy management in chemical,
utilities, pharmaceutical, logistics,
robotics, automotive engineering,
electrical and electronics assembly,
packaging, printing, pulp & paper - from
system design and safety & security
considerations through to fault-finding
and maintenance.
Topics will include:
• Introduction to PI Group – including
highlights of new supported
technologies
- An overview of the Group’s structure
and global representation, taking a look
at the protocol basics and their benefits
to UK industry.
• PROFINET network design
- The fundamental principles of good
network design and the main factors
that must be considered at the design
stage of an automation system.
• Network gateway technology
- Presentation and demonstration
of network gateway technology,
PROFINET to Profibus DP, PA, IO-Link
and OPC UA
• Industrial network commissioning and
testing
- Learn how to simplify the process
of testing, how to prevent network
failures and resolve cable and
network issues faster.
• PROFIBUS and PROFINET device
configuration tools
- A look at the available tools and
FDI with a live demonstration of
PROFIBUS and PROFINET device
configuration.
• Industrial networks safety & security
- The basics of legislation and
responsibilities for cybersecurity,
safety and functional safety for
Industrial Automation.
• Update on Industry 4.0, IIoT, TSN and
APL
- Explanation of IIoT, IND4.0 and Big Data,
and how PROFINET is placed as the
ideal network to fulfil the above.
Who should attend?
Supported by an exhibition with
demonstrations of actual tools used
in configuration and maintenance,
these seminars will be of great value to
Designers, Production/System Engineers,
Instrument Technicians/Engineers and
C&I Engineers involved in the design,
operation and maintenance of modern
automated factories and process plant.

INDUSTRIAL NETWORKS SAFETY &
SECURITY
The concept of Industry 4.0 and Smart
Manufacturing has gained plenty of
traction in the marketplace. What does this
greater acceptance of Industry 4.0 mean
for Functional Safety and Cybersecurity in
Industrial Automation and Control Systems
(IACS)? In this presentation we will quickly
discuss the basics of Functional Safety
and Cybersecurity for PROFI based
applications and then we will consider
the impact on these areas from Industry
4.0 in the short and medium term. What
should System Integrators and Product
Manufacturers be doing now and what can
you expect to be seeing from PI in the not
too distant future. We will also consider
the impact of open architectures/systems,
common technology, international
standards and last but not least trust in
technology.
INDUSTRY 4.0 AND THE INDUSTRIAL
INTERNET OF THINGS (IIOT)
A short journey to explain IIoT, The
Industrial Internet of things, IND4.0 from
IND1.0 and Big Data. How PROFINET is
placed as the ideal Industrial Fieldbus to
fulfil the above, how it is implemented and
why you should consider it. Some of the
myths explained.
