In a move designed to better serve the process control and automation industry, Profibus Australia has formed a partnership with the automation and instrumentation industry's leading magazine, PACE.
Under this arrangement, PACE (Process & Control Engineering) will be the exclusive official publication of Profibus Australia.

Key decision makers within both groups reacted favourably to this collaboration, describing it as a logical step forward for two complementary industry groups seeking similar operational outcomes for the process control and automation sector.
Profibus Australia believes the agreement will facilitate widespread awareness for fieldbus technology in the country's engineering community. Also, PACE will now have access to high-quality case studies and can draw upon non-partisan technical content from Profibus Australia's local and international resources.
"Many of our readers readers would welcome more Australian applications and case studies that present leading technologies in a local perspective," remarked Kevin Gomez, Editor, PACE.
"There are many unique user experiences involving fieldbus technology in the process industries that will benefit Australia's engineering community," noted Profibus Australia Chairman Rafael Koenig.
"And now, through our new working relationship with PACE, we have the ideal vehicle to ensure these case studies reach a broader reader base.
"That's positive news for the local fieldbus community and a good development for all process industries,"
