Article:
Setting the Scope for ISA100 Standard
|
|
By Paul Sereiko for Plant Engineering Magazine, Feb 2008
Creating uniformity and building standardization into
industrial wireless communications is a necessary objective for peaceful
coexistence. Without standardization, uncoordinated transmissions over the same
frequency - at the same time and in the same area - leads to congestion and
interference, creating a losing proposition for everyone.
The ISA100 standard will support multiple protocols,
including its own native protocol and others such as HART, Profibus, CIP and
Foundation Fieldbus, on a single, integrated wireless network. The current
release of the standard, ISA100.11a - the component of ISA100 that is involved
with wireless transport of field transmitter measurements - is focused on
process automation, but will not exclude factory automation or monitoring
applications.

|
|
Are customers asking about your wireless device plans?
What about the recently approved WirelessHART standard - are you prepared to
get to market with WirelessHART ahead of your competition? Can you move
wireless forward in your product line with low investment and risk?
AirSprite's AccelerATE
Program for WirelessHART delivers a fast path for WirelessHART support
of your product lines. Our partnership with you will allow you to:
- Investigate the WirelessHART readiness of your
products. You send us your HART devices to test in our lab with our
Wireless Adapters and Gateway. We also investigate what's
needed to directly embed WirelessHART into your products.
- Integrate WirelessHART into your product line
using Wireless Adapters and Gateways to shorten your time to market and
minimize investments.
- Differentiate
your products' wireless features
and services for competitive
advantage.

Article:
Using Wireless Retrofits to Enhance Plant Operations
|
By Paul Sereiko & Hesh Kagan, Invensys
It was all over the news last summer. As gas prices went up, and then up again, so did the number of articles trying to find reasons to assuage the nation's growing frustration on this topic.
Although there isn't just one culminating factor to explain the price jumps, more awareness was generated not only about the quantity of oil that comes out of the ground, but what happens to it after it is extracted. What this pointed out was that in the United States, not only is there a shortage in refining capability, but a network of aging and accident prone refineries in need of a desperate overhaul.
