10:30 a.m. – Seminar: Ethernet on the Plant Floor
Presented by John McGilvery – Siemens Networking Consultant
The expansion of Ethernet from the "office world" to the plant floor is one of the big trends in today's world of automation. Ethernet offers many benefits to the modern manufacturing plant, but the implementation is often fraught with challenges. This seminar will show you why PROFINET, as an open industrial Ethernet, is the right solution to fully realize the benefits of Ethernet while avoiding the headaches. We will show you how using PROFINET helps reduce start-up time by 30%, while simplifying network architecture. We invite you to learn more by registering for this informative talk.
You will learn how to:
- lay out the network architecture.
- configure machine-to-machine communication.
- implement I/O.
- integrate machine safety and security.
- use advanced and system-integrated network and device diagnostic.
- utilize wireless communication.
1:30 p.m. & Seminar: Communication Options with WinCC Flexible
Presented by Greg Marsh – Siemens Automation Specialist
