Program areas at Fieldbus Foundation
Released h1 interoperability test kit (itk) 6.1.0. The h1 itk 6.1.0 builds on the extensive library of Foundation Fieldbus block test cases, offering a series of standardized function blocks and transducer blocks that enable increased test coverage for device developers. This includes test cases for new blocks that were previously unavailable, such as flow totalizer, analog alarm, control selector and output splitter, which support expanded device applications for control-in-the-field (cif). A new flow transducer block is intended to simplify device integration within Foundation Fieldbus networks. In addition, the release provides updated test cases for existing blocks, including flow, pressure, temperature, analog positioner, and discrete positioner. New h1 itk test cases are focused on backwards compatibility among Foundation Fieldbus devices. This enhancement supports device replacement automation and enables the test kit to verify consistent behavior between device and host implementations in fieldbus-based control systems. Automation of device replacement allows the configuration in an existing field device to be restored in a newer version of that instrument without manual intervention. This "plug and play" solution ensures features are consistent between different generations of devices without reengineering the host configuration or changing any other element of the h1 network other than the new instrument.

Conducted the first live demonstration of its Foundation for remote operations management (rom) technology at the petrobras research and development facility (cenpes) in rio de janeiro, brazil.the first development of its kind integrating remote input/output (i/o), isa 100.11a, wirelesshart, wired hart, and Foundation Fieldbus h1 protocols into a single, standard data management environment, Foundation for rom extends the capabilities of Foundation Fieldbus to wired and wireless devices installed in some of the world's harshest and most remote locations. This open, non-proprietary solution provides a unified digital infrastructure for asset management in applications ranging from tank farms and terminals to pipelines, offshore platforms, and even original equipment manufacturer (oem) skids.
