Q: What is FOUNDATION for Remote Operations Management? A: FOUNDATION for Remote Operations Management promises to advance the utilization of an open, interoperable fieldbus automation infrastructure incorporating wired and wireless High Speed Ethernet (HSE), wired and wireless sensor networks, and industrial wireless applications. FOUNDATION fieldbus has been built from the ground up for openness, and can support the rapidly changing world of technology in process automation. With the addition of FOUNDATION for Remote Operations Management, users now have the ability to bring valuable diagnostic information from wireless devices into the open and standardized infrastructure of FOUNDATION fieldbus. Combined with the ability to handle remote I/O and the complete range of wireless devices for process automation, as well as other networks, this greatly extends the range and capabilities of FOUNDATION fieldbus to encompass many more devices throughout the entire plant or facilityregardless of their communications technology. The business value lies in taking the large amounts of data from these devices through HSE and turning it into useful information in an open environment. Users will be able to enjoy the benefits of wireless networking and remote I/O along with the powerful infrastructure of FOUNDATION technology. Q: What is the scope of this initiative? - more -
