WG 2.6 Digital Process Communication

Focus

The NAMUR working group "Digital Process Communication", focused on the field level and basic process automation, deals with (but isn’t limited to) topics as follows:

  • Collaboration on development and conceptual requirements for current and future communication systems from end user’s point of view with regard to practical suitability and potential for the process industry
  • Market observation and experience exchange of digital communication systems for the process industry
  • Addressing of requirements, deficiencies and problems to manufacturers and organizations
  • Participation in national and international standardization committees and organizations
  • Active participation, i.e. to achieve:
    • A uniform, effective and available device integration (FDI)
    • User-friendly modern technologies
    • Useful and manufacturer-independent diagnostic information of communication participants
    • Define requirements for an Ethernet-based communication system for the process industry

Advantages

Advantages that result from the work of the working group are as follows:

  • Avoiding of mistaken investments
  • Availability of best practices for applications, platform for sharing of experiences
  • Uniform device integration for all automation systems
  • Optimized maintenance through standardized status signals and diagnostic information
  • Improving of standards for the benefit of users
  • Recognize, use and publish economic benefits
