In response to reader demand for more local news of Profibus activities and applications, Profibus UK has published a UK version of the popular Profibus newsletter, Profinews.

Based on the proven format of the international edition, the first issue Profinews UK runs to 6 pages of information on events, cases studies, product announcements and news stories from the UK.

Carrying a complementary blend of UK and international news, the newsletter is intended to supplement rather than replace the international edition.

A key feature is the listing of educational opportunities that abound in the UK, from the PROFInet Workshop on the 14th November, through participation in MTEC and Southern Manufacturing in February 2003 to the regular monthly Certified Installer and Certified Engineer courses held at MMU.

Profinews UK was sponsored by UK members Burkert, Endress + Hauser, Hawke Fieldbus, Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU), Softing, Wago and Woodhead Connectivity who saw it as a much-needed means to communicate their local news to UK readers.

Readers can download a copy of Issue 1 from the News section of the Profibus web site at www.profibus.com where they may also sign up to subscribe to the email version of the international edition.

UK readers may obtain a printed copy of Issue 1 from Bob Squirrell, UK Chairman on tel/fax 01489 589574 or mailto:uk@profibus.com.
