FieldComm Group

On October 8, 2024, the FieldComm Group held a highly successful all-day seminar titled "Modern Process Automation: Today and in the Future" at the Feierabendhaus in #ChemieparkMarl. Our seminar, which focused on practical applications, attracted more than 65 participants who engaged deeply in critical topics such as #EthernetAPL, #FDI, NAMUR Open Architecture (#NOA) with #PADIM, and #IIoT. FieldComm Group experts and representatives from member companies delivered valuable presentations on these technologies, products, systems, and solutions, highlighting their relevance and usefulness. The #Feierabendhaus was the perfect venue, providing an ideal atmosphere for our attendees from #ChemieparkMarl. The event's practice-oriented approach was well-received, as evidenced by outstanding feedback. Many thanks to Kurt Polzer and Bernhard Gut from the FieldComm Group European Team for their exceptional coordination and #leadership in making this event a success. Their efforts were instrumental in bringing together all participants from the chemical park. It was an outstanding event for the benefit of our #customers! A special shout-out to Thomas Scherwietes for your invaluable support. We also want to express our deep appreciation to our sponsors, VEGA Grieshaber KG, Endress+Hauser Group, Emerson, and Evonik. Your support was instrumental in the success of our event. Be sure to follow us on here on Linkedin for updates on upcoming events globally.

Great article in Control Engineering focused on how to use #PADIM to improve #OTIT process data! Insights include... 💡Improve OT/IT #communications by examining data sources, such as instrumentation and field devices, and using Process Automation Device Information Model (PA-DIM) fundamentals, such as moving data where needed. 💡PA-DIM offers three significant benefits for digital transformation, #IIoT, and OT/IT convergence, as well as for #standards, #protocols, and #harmonization. 💡Explanations are offered about how to deploy PA-DIM and how it simplifies #dataaccess. "In summary, the PA-DIM model provides an avenue for IT systems to easily achieve read-only integration directly with field devices—which may support different automation protocols—exposing the necessary data with full contextual semantics." - Paul Sereiko - FieldComm Group, Director of Marketing and Product Strategy Read the full article here...https://lnkd.in/gW63ZtTX
