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.
