Increase efficiency and performance of a plant!

On the 10th and 11th of October, KROHNE is organizing a workshop “Unleashing Digital Transformation” in collaboration with Polzer Automation Solutions.

This workshop is intended for technicians, instrumentation and project engineers, active within all kinds of process industries. It will focus on how sensors and transmitters in the field level can be integrated in higher levels in the automation pyramide. like in the Control Strategy, Asset Management System or even to IIoT servers. (see next pages for the complete agenda)

The content of the workshop is independent of systems and products of special suppliers, however systems and components from the market are used to explain things in a more practical way and give hints how to build up solutions. It is not just a technical training, it also includes market related topics like applications and customers’ benefits.

Following topics will be presented and discussed in the workshop:

  • Short introduction how Digital Transformation effects businesses.

  • Automation solutions and concepts in Digital Industries and Process Industries.

  • Basics on Industrial Communication where IT meets OT.

  • Communication Protocols at system and at field level.

    An overview on communication technologies and protocols, like 4 … 20 mA with HART, WirelessHART, HART-IP, PROFIBUS, PROFINET, Ethernet/IP and MODBUS.

  • Device Integration based on FDI.

    The device description technologies EDDL and FDT were replaced by FDI. Compatibility to former hosts and customer benefits are presented and discussed.

  • The NAMUR Open Architecture (NOA) and PA-DIM as its Information Model for field devices.

    NOA defines four components which allow secure and unique access to data in a plant to enable new business models: the Information Model (PA-DIM), the NOA Diode and Security (referred as second channel), Verification of Request and the optional Aggregating Server.

  • Ethernet-APL which brings Ethernet to the field level in Process Automation solutions.

    Technology, concepts, architecture, and components are presented and discussed.

Price of the 2 days-workshop: €950 VAT excl.

Registration is only valid upon receiving inscription fee!

Speaker

Kurt Polzer - Polzer Automation Solutions

Kurt studied Mathematics at KIT and gained expertise in software development, product management, and business development at Siemens. He worked in areas like process instrumentation, process control systems, SCADA systems and communication. As a product owner, he developed SIMATIC PDM (Process Device Manager) and a web server for remote measurements. Kurt also conducted technical workshops for the process control system from Siemens and designed and built demo systems for fairs.
He represented Siemens in various working groups (VDI/VDI GMA, PROFIBUS International and the HART Communication Foundation) and became a Siemens Certified Professional for Industrial Networks.

After retiring, he founded Polzer Automation Solutions. He built demo systems for FieldComm Group to present most of their technologies, like HART, HART-IP, WirelessHART, FDI and PA-DIM including design, commissioning and use cases. For Ethernet-APL he built a second system and integrated Process Control Systems, Power and Field Switches and Ethernet-APL field instruments from leading suppliers in the process industries, ProfiNet, Ethernet/IP, HART-IP and OPC-UA. Both systems have been presented at the ACHEMA 2022.

Kurt developed training on digital transformation for salespeople in the Process Industries, focusing on industrial communication protocols and integration. The focus of this training lies on industrial communication protocols and integration from the field level to upper systems even to the cloud.
