Profibus LinkedIn Group Change

May 15, 2013
A new LinkedIn group—Profibusters—now serves as a forum for Profibus and Profinet discussions.

Following the transition of the ā€œProfibus Network Diagnostic, Maintenance and Troubleshootingā€ LinkedIn group to an Italian language only format, Ron Mitchell has launched ā€œProfibustersā€.

This new group will ā€œtarget topics that include commissioning, maintenance, troubleshooting problems and solutions, as well as managing questions and answers and shared experiences among members,ā€ says Mitchell. Profibus and Profinet subgroups to this new LinkedIn group will be formed to ā€œmore closely align discussions with the specific technology,ā€ he adds.

Some of the discussions already taking place in the new Profibusters group include:
• Sharing experiences with Siemens trailing cable;
• M12 connectors for outdoor installations; and
• The preferred way to tag Profibus networks.
