巴西圣保羅2007年7月12日消息，基金會現場總線作為現場總線教育研討會的一部分，在巴西圣保羅Renaissance大酒店主持了新聞發布會，對其開放的，非專有技術的最新進展做了概述。基金會對涉及電子設備的描述語言（EDDL）和現場設備集成（FDI），安全儀器使用功能（SIF），HSE遙控I/O，無線技術和主機測試和注冊作了報告。 基金會現場總線營銷經理Bill Tatum主持了新聞發布會，在此期間他描述了與EDDL合作團隊ECT和FDT集團間的協議。他們約定：聯合協作，向著單一的，用于設備集成與自動化技術兼容的統一解決方案努力。作為協議的一部分，FDT集團是新加入ECT成為新成員。ECT基金會成員包括：基金會現場總線，HART通訊基金會，Profibus Nutzer組織（PNO）和OPC基金會。 ECT和FDT組織將一起工作實現設備集成協議，達到滿足各方的普通架構。未來技術發展將在用戶服務體系中使用OPC統一體系（UA）的子架構。此外，各方都已同意將EDDL優勢和FDT解決方案鞏固到單一標準技術里。 Tatum指出，用于SIF示范項目的基金會現場總線已經擴展到包括遍及世界的多終端用戶。該項目準備在荷蘭殼牌，沙特Aramco石油公司，德國BP以及美國Chevron石油公司作現場演示。 現場演示將促進基金會SIF技術在過程工業中的應用。該項目包括SIF最優方法和指導方針的進展，以及培訓和用于控制生產商和終端用戶的協同測試工具。 基金會現場總線還發布了一個新創新，把遙控I/O界面標準化到基金會總線架構中。新規范將定義在基金會現場總線緊密集成的高速以太網上的界面連接的遙控I/O架構。除遙控I/O之外，進一步加強過程儀器檢測儀表的集成，把brownfield和greenfield放入基金會總線架構中。 加之基金會現場總線還支持高級無線技術的發展，用于工業測量和控制環境。無線設備能減少用戶安裝成本。無線網絡允許對附加測量和用于過程監控，過程控制，過程優化，工廠和人員安全及維護的激點進行簡單訪問。 基金會現場總線HSE已經被列和無線應用中了，為IEEE802.11.無線以太網可在連接設備與主機系統間傳輸HSE信息。 依照Tatum所言，基金會現場總線已經就無線使用案例和SP100標準的發展需求實施了有限版權。SP100不包括用戶層或通向主機系統的物理連接層。 original text [COLOR=#708090]Fieldbus Foundation Outlines Technology Advancements Latest developments to benefit automation suppliers and end users in Brazil São Paulo, Brazil, July 12, 2007 — The Fieldbus Foundation, conducting a press briefing as part of a fieldbus educational seminar held at the Renaissance Hotel in São Paulo, Brazil, today outlined the latest advancements to its open, non-proprietary technology, FOUNDATION fieldbus. The foundation reported on developments involving Electronic Device Description Language （EDDL） and Field Device Integration （FDI）, Safety Instrumented Functions （SIF）, HSE Remote I/O, wireless technology, and host testing & registration. Fieldbus Foundation Marketing Manager Bill Tatum conducted the press briefing, during which he described an agreement by the EDDL Cooperation Team （ECT） and FDT Group to combine efforts and work towards a single, unified solution for device integration compatible with both automation technologies. As part of the agreement, the FDT Group has joined the ECT as its newest member. The founding members of the ECT include the Fieldbus Foundation, HART Communication Foundation, Profibus Nutzer Organisation （PNO）, and OPC Foundation. The ECT and FDT organizations will work together to finalize a device integration protocol and achieve a common framework meeting the requirements of all parties. Future technology developments will use a subset of the OPC Unified Architecture （UA） within a client-server architecture. In addition, both groups have agreed to consolidate the advantages of EDDL and Field Device Tool （FDT） solutions into a single standard technology. Tatum indicated the Fieldbus Foundation‘s FOUNDATION for Safety Instrumented Functions （SIF） demonstration project has been expanded to include multiple end user locations around the world. Plans now call for field demonstrations of FOUNDATION SIF technology at Shell Global Solutions, Amsterdam, The Netherlands; Saudi Aramco, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia; BP, Gelsenkirchen, Germany; and Chevron, Richmond, California, USA. The field demonstrations will promote adoption of FOUNDATION SIF technology in the process industries. The project includes development of SIF best practices and guidelines, as well as training and interoperability test tools for control manufacturers and end users. The Fieldbus Foundation has also launched a new initiative to develop a specification for standardizing the interface of remote I/O into the FOUNDATION architecture. The new specification will define the structure for interfacing remote I/O over the Fieldbus Foundation‘s tightly integrated High Speed Ethernet （HSE） control backbone. The addition of remote I/O further enables the integration of process instrumentation, both brownfield and greenfield, into the FOUNDATION architecture. Additionally, the Fieldbus Foundation is supporting the development of advanced wireless technology for the industrial measurement and control environment. Wireless devices can reduce user installation costs while facilitating connection to points physically or economically difficult to access. Wireless networks allow easy access to additional measuring and actuation points for process supervision and control, process optimization, plant and personnel safety, and maintenance. FOUNDATION fieldbus HSE is already being employed in wireless applications using IEEE 802.11. Wireless Ethernet radios transmit HSE messages between linking devices and host systems. According to Tatum, the Fieldbus Foundation has issued a limited copyright to ISA for the wireless use cases and requirements for development of the SP100 standard. The SP100 effort does not include the User Layer or a physical connection to a host system. [/COLOR]
