Reinforcement for fieldbus marketing
Dipl. Ing. Dirk Bechtel studied electrical engineering at the Technical College
in Bielefeld, Germany. Following his thesis on the subject of handheld
computers, he worked in the area of portable operating terminals for four
years. For the last 10 years, he has worked in international product management
and marketing for industrial fieldbus technology.
His activities
ranged from proprietary systems to
the currently market-leading Profibus.Since January 2002, Dirk Bechtel looks
after the fieldbus marketing and, as “IP 67 specialist”, particularly the
Fieldbus Box modules at the Beckhoff headquarters in Verl. With these compact
units, Beckhoff opens up applications that could not be served optimally
with the existing IP 20 Bus Terminal solution.
