Fieldbus Foundation launches new blog
March 2014
News
The Fieldbus Foundation has announced the launch of its new blog dedicated to providing comprehensive information about Foundation fieldbus technology. Located at fieldbuscentral.org, the blog will continue the foundation’s mission to share news about global developments in the fieldbus marketplace.
Built upon the WordPress platform, the new ‘Fieldbus Central’ blog has a streamlined design, which simplifies navigation to various sections and topics. This includes both current fieldbus-related posts and an archive of older posts and comments from the Fieldbus Foundation’s original blog. Visitors can also access the foundation’s Twitter page (@FOUNDATIONField) from the site.
Fieldbus Foundation global marketing manager Larry O’Brien explained the purpose of the new blog: “The Fieldbus Central blog is the focal point of our overall social media focus and the go-to place for all things new in the world of Foundation fieldbus. Its objective is to provide an open environment where people can read about everything that’s happening with the technology, from our news releases to new products, new installations, coverage of seminars and conferences, as well as a link to our other social media sources, such as new YouTube videos.”
The Fieldbus Central blog can be accessed directly from the Fieldbus Foundation’s website at www.fieldbus.org
