Decrease the time, costs, and risks

Industry leaders from major manufacturing and automation control system users and suppliers have formed an organization to establish essential specifications and ISA100.11a Registered Products processes to be used in the testing and certification of wireless products and systems for the ISA100 family of wireless standards.

ISA100 Wireless Standard Receives IEC Approval as a PAS

The ISA100.11a-2011 is the first industrial wireless standard developed with direct end-user participation and support. ISA announced on 16 Sept 2011 that ISA-100.11a-2011, “Wireless Systems for Industrial Automation: Process Control and Related Applications,” has been approved by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) as a publicly available specification, or PAS. This follows its approval earlier this year as an ISA standard, developed per ISA’s open consensus process as accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Read full press release

ISA100 and Standards Convergence

ISA100 is one of three standards competing in industrial wireless sensing. What is distinctive about ISA100? What are the prospects for convergence of standards? What would convergence be worth to the industrial wireless market? Download an ARC Advisory Group whitepaper on these questions.
