Bürkert is proud to be one of the sponsors of the 'busstop', Process Industry Networking and Communications Conference for professionals in this exciting field.
According to Willem Bruwer, the general manager of Bürkert: "This is an important event. Conferences such as this will go a long way in educating South African engineers in the correct application of this new technology. In the past we have seen many changes in industrial communications, but the advent of fieldbus systems will allow greater flexibility, improved automation and plant safety".
In addition to participating in the events, Bürkert will also be available to answer questions regarding its equipment, specifically designed for incorporation into a process control system utilising the fieldbus concept. As with many major manufacturers of industrial instrumentation, Bürkert can provide equipment suitable for different fieldbus protocols. Because of the rapid acceptance of fieldbus systems by professionals in the industry, Bürkert's research and development division is working hard to provide new products that are fieldbus compatible.
Bürkert is well advanced in supplying fieldbus systems for the actuation of control valves and other devices that need to be operated remotely. Its AirLINE system can provide electrical I/O and pneumatic pilot valves in a compact unit - which can reduce installation costs significantly. This and other equipment will be on display for the benefit of the delegates at the conference.
