Educational
Program
Seminar I - Ethernet for the Plant Floor
Time - 8:00 AM to 9:30 AM (Registration - 7:30 AM, 1.5 Professional Development Hours)
Speaker - Dave Kostick, President of Great Lakes Controls, Buffalo, NY
Summary - A tutorial on industrial networks in general and specifically, the migration to Ethernet...Why Ethernet? Why now? Ethernet addressing will also be covered. Understanding network terminology...topologies, media types, media access, protocols, etc. Understanding Ethernet components...hubs, switches, gateways, etc. Understanding various Ethernet protocols...Ethernet IP; ProfiNet; Modbus TCP; etc. Differences between Industrial and Commercial Ethernet.
About the Speaker - Dave Kostick holds a BSEE from Rochester Institute of Technology, is now owner of Great Lakes Controls, and has worked for Square D Company and Texas Instruments.
Seminar II - Wireless Retrofits in Process Industries for Enhanced Asset Management
Time - 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM (Registration - 9:30 AM, 1.5 Professional Development Hours)
Speaker - Paul J. Sereiko, President & CEO, AirSprite Technologies, Marlborough, MA.
Summary - A simpler, less costly, and low risk approach discusses the retrofit of existing wired instrumentation with wireless adapters, rather than using completely new wireless instrumentation, networks, and software. With this solution, you eliminate the need to install new, expensive control system hardware and associated products. This presentation will provide an overview of the wireless standards landscape, ISA100 and Wireless HART, describe a wireless instrument adapter, and outline how plant asset management systems, including condition based maintenance, can use information from retrofitted wireless instruments to reduce maintenance costs and increase availability..
About the Speaker - Paul J. Sereiko is President & CEO, AirSprite Technologies and holds a BS in Computer Engineering from the University of Illinois and an MBA from Northwestern University's Kellogg Graduate School of Management.
Seminar III - Why Measure Vibration? - An Intro to Applications, Practices, and Equipment
Time - 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM (Registration - 11:30 AM, 1.5 Professional Development Hours)
Speakers - Ray Limburg, Product Manager- PCB Piezotronics, Inc. and Joe Jank, Product Manager - IMI Sensors
Summary - This seminar will provide an overview of some of the many applications in which vibration measurement or monitoring can contribute to the successful acceptance of a product or continuous running process. In addition, there will be a focus on industrial machinery vibration monitoring for predictive maintenance and machinery protection, as well as a discussion of some of the latest products available for addressing such requirements.
About the Speakers - Ray Limburg hold a BS degree from Clarkson University and is currently Product Manager for the Test and Measurement Division of PCB Piezotronics. He is an active member of the ISA - Niagara Frontier Section and serves on its board of directors. Joe Jank is currently Product Manager for IMI Sensors, a division of PCB and is Vice-Chairman of the Niagara Frontier Chapter of the Vibration Institute and a Level II Certified Vibration Analyst.

Session 1:
2:00 pm-3:00 pm
Session 2: 3:30 pm-4:30 pm
Speaker:
David Siegel, Vice President, Product Management, AirSprite Technologies
Summary: Changing the way the world looks at industrial wireless
possibilities, wireless is one of the hottest topics in the industry today.
Standards Development Committee Representative will be present to discuss:
• Wireless
standard development process
• Plans for developing a reliable, universal family of wireless standards
• Update on the process automation applications wireless standard
• Trustworthy wireless
• People and asset tracking and identification
• Transmission and distribution
• Wireless Factory Automation: Discrete Manufacturing
About the
Speaker: As Vice President of Product Management, David Siegel brings over
25 years of marketing and technical experience in the software, manufacturing
and instrumentation industries to AirSprite. Most recently he served on Gensym
Corporation's executive team as director of marketing, where he was responsible
for delivering real-time software products for monitoring, diagnosing and
managing industrial operations in the manufacturing telecommunications,
transportation, and government markets. Prior to Gemsym, David’s roles
included senior engineering and management with Stone & Webster and Exxon
Chemicals. David holds a BS degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University
of Minnesota and an MS in Management degree from M.I.T.’s Sloan School.
ISA100
Development Scope
The ISA100
Committee addresses wireless manufacturing and control systems in the areas of
the:
• Environment in
which the wireless technology is deployed
• Technology life cycle for wireless equipment and systems
• Application of Wireless technology
The wireless
environment includes; the definition of wireless, radio frequencies (starting
point), vibration, temperature, humidity, EMC, interoperability, coexistence
with existing systems, and physical equipment location. Global short-, medium-,
and long-term technology needs will be incorporated on a non-exclusive
technology basis with no bias towards or against a particular wireless
technology. The standards themselves may influence the allocation and use of
resources and spectrum.
Application of
the technology will include:
• Field sensors
used for monitoring, control, alarm, and shutdown that can be vertically
integrated from field to business systems.
• Wireless technology whose uses include real time field-to-business systems
(e.g. wireless equipment interfacing work order systems, control LAN, business
LAN, voice)
• Across all industries – fluid processing, material processing, and
discrete parts manufacturing environments
