Table-top exhibition to accompany seminar

Taking place at the National Conference Centre on November 17th 2021, this free-to-attend seminar will be supported by an exhibition with live product demonstrations, making it 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.

The event addresses key practical issues arising from the use of digital communications technologies in process industry and automated manufacturing applications, with particular attention to Industry 4.0 and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).

Exhibitors include:

Here are a few examples of what will be on display:

Belcom Cables are your source of excellence for industrial automation cables. We take precision, high-performance data and communication cables into the toughest environments.

Our extensive stock of Fieldbus cables include the Dataguard series armoured outdoor cables and direct burial styles which have been adopted extensively throughout the water and waste-water treatment industry using Profibus DP and PA protocols

It is often the case that insufficient attention is given to the interconnecting cables in industrial data networks. We take this on board and ensure that our Fieldbus cables are the best available from stock in the UK.

Whilst the core technology remains, the ever-growing applications determine new designs for outer sheath performance and with different requirements and standards required for different industrial sectors Belcom strives to ensure that the right cable for its applications is readily available from stock.

Hitex are the UK distributor for SOFTING. With PROFIBUS and PROFINET commissioning and fault-finding tools, with the PROFIBUS Tester 5 for diagnostics and TH Link for PROFIBUS for long term health checking and remote network access over ethernet, Wiring testers and TH Link for PROFINET and industrial ethernet diagnostics. Connect your existing field devices to a more modern PLC.

We also have interface cards for PC104/PCi/PCIe/USB/Bluetooth/Ethernet for CAN/PROFIBUS/Foundation Fieldbus. Connect devices together with our OPC suite in software or use our gateways to translate between different PLC manufacturers, into MES or higher-level systems or up to the cloud.

Hitex also offer onsite diagnostics, troubleshooting and network commissioning reports.

HMS Industrial Networks is a world leader in automation connectivity with a large portfolio that includes network gateways, wireless and cloud-based solutions. HMS has a wide variety of Profibus, PROFINET and PROFIsafe products that they will be highlighting at the seminar.

PROCENTEC is a 20+-year-old Dutch fully independent company, member of the PROFIBUS and PROFINET International organization since its foundation. PROCENTEC is a Competence Center, Training Center and Test Lab for PROFIBUS and PROFINET technologies.

By going on-site to troubleshoot networks PROCENTEC found the need for easy to use solutions in order to perform correct network maintenance, quickly find network problems and prevent production downtime with real-time information on the quality and status of the communication inside your network.

Procentec’s products and services revolve around three core principles:

Reliability: Diagnostic and monitoring devices in order to prevent costly unplanned downtimes.
Network Components: Solutions in order to optimize the network communication, make the networks more robust, avoid common mistakes and speed up the maintenance activities.
Knowledge: Support on-site or from remote and training.

WAGO Limited is the UK & I subsidiary of WAGO Kontakttechnicik GmbH & Co. Formed in 1951 with the UK operation opening in 1990 at Rugby, WAGO pioneered spring force technology inventing CageClamp in 1977 for use in DIN rail mounted terminals. In 1995 the company brought out Series 750 to revolutionize Fieldbus Technology with modular I/O and a choice of the major fieldbus standards. PROFIBUS has always been a major protocol and now PROFINET and IO-Link have also become standard offering in WAGO automation solutions and Cloud connectivity.

WAGO will be showing their Series 750 PROFIBUS and PROFINET product range including Touch Panels, Industrial Switches, Power Supplies, etc.
