Scottsdale, AZ – September 28: The PTO (formerly the PROFIBUS Trade Organization) is proud to announce the PROFI Interface Center’s (PIC) commitment to improved product and technology support in North America with the unveiling of its new website. The new PROFI Interface Center website is available at: http://www.ProfiInterfaceCenter.com.  Users of PROFIBUS and PROFINET now have on demand access to technical resources and online support with a click of the mouse. The new PROFI Interface Center website provides an easy to navigate source of technical information to support end-users efforts 24/7.

For the past 15 years the PROFI Interface Center (PIC) has provided North America with many services and products for PROFINET and PROFIBUS fieldbus communication for automation technology. These services have included seminars, integration support and device conformance testing. The new website reinforces the main values of the PIC which are to provide unparalleled technical support and educational promotion of PROFIBUS and PROFINET technologies.

“It is important for our customers to have relevant information available to make quick and informed decisions to be able to carry out their installations and development projects successfully”, commented Martin Raab, Team Leader of the PROFI Interface Center. “Our new website offers up-to-date technical information, lists resources and lists important contacts. It also offers education, integration support, products (development kits, ASICs, software tools) and certification lab services for PROFINET and PROFIBUS which are the cornerstones of our business. And our new website makes all this available to our customers in an easy to find, clear and simple way.”

In an economy that is forcing cuts to many businesses, the PROFI Interface Center raises the bar in its commitment to quality and service. This new commitment to technical support once again demonstrates why PROFIBUS is the world’s most widely adopted fieldbus.
