Exhibition 'Het Instrument 2002'

On 4 to 8 November 2002, PROCENTEC participated at the exhibition 'Het Instrument 2002' in Utrecht (NL). On a boot of 120m2 the PROFIBUS technology was promoted.

On a running demonstrator, which consisted out of DP and PA equipment from more than 40 vendors, the visitors could experience the openness of PROFIBUS. Engineering services for instrumentation vendors and a new line of PROFIBUS training courses were also promoted.

Carreer Day

On the 14th of February 2002 we participated on the carreer day of the University of Professional Education of The Hague.

The center had a booth with a live demonstrator and was completely focussed on attracting electro technical and IT students who are about to have their degree. On the booth they could take a peek in the 'world of PROFIBUS'. Many were interested in a possible carreer in the industrial automation sector.

Process Industry seminar in Norway

On the 23rd and 24th of April 2002 a seminar for Fieldbusses in the Process Industry has been organised in Oslo (Norway).

The seminar gave an overview of the market position of Fieldbusses, strengths, weaknesses and how can we expect they will evolve in the near future. Dennis van Booma gave a presentation about the strong diagnostic capabilities, supported by a live demonstration on a working PROFIBUS DP/PA network.

Product Certified

Again a new range of PROFIBUS interfaces for EL-O-Matic's pneumatic actuators were certified at a testlab in Germany.

These interfaces were developed by our R&D department and are the new line of PROFIBUS field components for EL-O-Matic's pneumatic actuators. The electronics and software were created within a lead time of three weeks (including prototypes).

PROFIBUS PA seminar

On the 18th of June 2002, the Dutch PROFIBUS organisation and PROCENTEC organised a seminar which was focussed on PROFIBUS in the Process Industry.

During this one-day symposium, the decision makers of the process industry witnessed an impressive presentation of the cost cutting potential available through the implementation of PROFIBUS DP and PA. A multi-vendor plant was used to show how control systems and SCADA systems communicate with field devices for temperature, pressure, levels, analysis, flow and I/O boxes.

PROFIBUS DP seminar

On 17 December 2002, the Dutch PROFIBUS organisation and PROCENTEC organised a seminar, which was focussed on PROFIBUS in the factory automation.

During this one-day symposium, the visitors witnessed an impressive presentation of the cost cutting potential available through the implementation of PROFIBUS. The various arguments were underpinned by a live demo.

PROFIBUS workshop

On the 25th of April 2002 a PROFIBUS workshop has been organised for the members of the Dutch RPA.

It covered the 'new' technologies of PROFIBUS: PROFIdrive, PROFIsafe, PROFINET and give a clear picture within the current spectrum of PROFIBUS DP and PA. The purpose of this workshop was to enhance the technical knowledge of the Dutch members.

Test apparatus for fow meters

We have developed a test apparatus for the flow meters of Brooks Instrument. This system is based on a PCD1 PLC (Saia-Burgess) and can test 10 flow meters at the same time by means of PROFIBUS communication.

The status of the flow meters is displayed on a led matrix. Brooks Instrument will use the system for testing flow meters, which come from the assembly line. After passing the test they will be packed and shipped to the clients.
