Other participation at the trade fair
In addition to showcasing new PROFINET functions and products, Siemens is also represented at the PNO booth in Hall 6, Booth 210. At the heart of the communal PNO booth at this year’s SPS/IPC/DRIVES is functional safety technology with PROFIsafe. Ten years ago, in September 1998, PROFIsafe launched a new era of safety technology in which secure data are transferred together with conventional data via a shared bus cable. Since then, PROFIsafe has developed into a global market leader, thanks to its open structure and widespread installation.
10 years of PROFIsafe
On the 10th anniversary of the introduction of this groundbreaking technology, PNO is offering a new, live demo of PROFIsafe at SPS/IPC/DRIVES 2008 with the help of renowned manufacturers, in addition to a device presentation. The application symbolizes the process steps of production systems – from Upstream to Mainstream right through to Downstream. In addition to the interaction of PROFIBUS, PROFINET, and PROFIsafe in production automation, the use of PROFIsafe in process automation is also demonstrated with various PROFIsafe-compatible PA devices and a fail-safe control unit.

A further highlight of the communal booth is the forum entitled “The Future of Automation,” organized jointly by PNO and the INTERBUS Club Deutschland. Here, experts present current technology topics every hour.
In addition, numerous company presentations and several multivendor demos provide information about new products, services, and solutions. In this way, various technology providers are demonstrating the value-added chain in the development of PROFINET products. Topics include advice and design, implementation and certification, and support and service.
