横河电机加入PROFIBUS用户组织

March 23, 2011 - Yokogawa Electric joined the PROFIBUS Nutzerorganisation e.V. (PNO), an interest group for the PROFIBUS and PROFINET standard communication protocols that are widely used in industrial automation applications.

3月23日消息——横河电机加入了PROFIBUS用户组织（PNO），一个广泛应用于工业自动化应用的PROFIBUS 和PROFINET标准通讯协议的兴趣小组。

Originally developed to meet the needs of the discrete manufacturing industry, PROFIBUS has evolved into a fieldbus standard for both discrete manufacturing and process automation.

最初是为了满足离散制造工业需求而开发的PROFIBUS，目前已经演化成离散制造和流程自动化的现场总线标准。

PROFIBUS and PROFINET are standardized under a range of international standards, the most important being IEC 61158 and 61784.

PROFIBUS和 PROFINET是根据一系列的国际标准而制定的，其中最重要的是IEC 61158 和61784标准。

Masatoshi Nakahara, General Manager of the Marketing Center at the Industrial Automation Business Headquarters, commented as follows regarding Yokogawa’s membership in the PNO:

横河工业自动化业务总部营销中心总经理中原雅俊如此评论横河成为PNO成员：

“In addition to FOUNDATION fieldbus and the HART protocols, we see PROFIBUS DP and PROFINET as especially important protocols for industrial automation - not only in central Europe and other mature markets, but increasingly in the Asia-Pacific region and China. Yokogawa currently offers a range of PROFIBUS based products and solutions, and we are committed to expanding our portfolio in the future.

“除了基金会现场总线和HART协议，我们看到PROFIBUS DP和 PROFINET也是尤其重要的工业自动化协议，这不仅仅在中欧和其他成熟市场是如此，在亚太地区和中国也越来越如此。横河目前提供广泛的基于PROFIBUS的产品和解决方案，并且我们承诺未来将扩大我们的产品组合。

With some 19,500 employees worldwide and a turnover of well over US$3 billion, we perceive ourselves to be among the leading suppliers of industrial automation solutions, with our main focus on the process industries. Along with our strong worldwide presence, we believe that we are the market leader in the Asia-Pacific region, China, and Japan a situation that will benefit PROFIBUS technology in general.”

全球约19,500名的员工和超过30亿美元的营业额，我们认为自己是工业自动化解决方案的领先供应商之一，而我们也专注于流程工业。我们在全球有着的强大的布局，我们相信我们是亚太地区、中国以及日本的市场领导者，而这些市场都将普遍受惠于PROFIBUS技术。”
