As usual the PI booth was well done and well attended. In addition to the reception stand, the presentation theater, and the lounge, the booth sported functional areas for
- PROFINET
- PROFIenergy
- PROFIdrive
- PROFIsafe
- Process including PROFIBUS and PROFINET (and others!)
- IO-Link
I’ll cover each of those in individual, subsequent posts, but here is an overview of the booth from both main aisles (click for a scrollable panorama):
Alternatively, you can join me for a sub-two-minute walk around the whole booth here:

The booth was busy all day, every day, although Thursday’s early morning snowfall seemed to delay things a bit. Speaking of snowfall, I found out it was snowing not by looking out the hotel room window, but by seeing a Tweet from Leo Ploner of the Industrial Ethernet Book. THEN I looked out the window. BTW, the hash tag for the show was #sps12 if you want to search Twitter for contemporaneous reporting.
