Organization of the Southern African Regional PROFIBUS Association
The strength and durability of any open standard can be found in the level of collaboration between interested parties in the formation and support of the standard. Ultimately for an open standard to succeed, especially in the time and reliability critical industrial sphere, a powerful user-base must be formed with well structured training, technical support and quality policies to ensure smoothness of integration and guaranteed quality.
The Southern African Regional PROFIBUS Association is a sub-organisation of the global non-profit PROFIBUS & PROFINET Interternational (PI) Organisation
