Profibus PA designers

[U1000530]

I am looking for contacts with Profibus PA design experience, to put in touch with our own designers. Hopefully there is some leverage available from pooling interface expertise.
Please contact me with any possible leads, suggestions, etc.

The book "Fieldbuses for Process Control: Engineering, Operation, and Maintenance" covers HART, FF, and PA. Although written for end-users, you may find that it is also a good background for device and software developers. Especially chapter 4 that puts the conecept of IEC 61804 function, transducer, and physical blocks used by both FF and PA in human readable form, in the contect of real world examples.
