A unique Profibus Technology Forum will be held in Brisbane on September 16, 2009 at The Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre South Bank. The PROFIBUS Association of Australia & New Zealand has brought together a number of prominent industry experts who will share their views on Profibus’ recent developments, describe local applications of the technology, and discuss the latest products and solutions.

The no-charge event is targeted at Design Engineers, Process Engineers, Electrical engineers, Instrument technicians, electricians, plant operators, and any professional that intends to implement Profibus in the near future.
The United Group Infrastructure will present their experiences gained while implementing Profibus at the Pimpama Water Wastewater Treatment Plant. Wang Components will share with Forum participants the smart way their company implemented a plant automation solution using Profibus.
