The Process Analytics Community 1M?
Given the choices of controller, server and
workstation platforms communication
protocols HMI interfaces database
options (short term and long term) security
and controls needs (local remote access)
CPAC Sponsored Connectivity Initiative

The Process Analytics Community 1M?
Exploratory Meeting at Pittcon2001 End-users S
hell, Dupont, EMCC Suppliers ABB, AAI,
Rosemount, ThermoOnix Panametrics, Servomex
Outcome Confirmed the Need for Industry Wide
Effort Group Volunteered to act as Steering
Team Requested CPAC to Sponsor
Effort End-users to Develop Connectivity
Functional Specification
Next Step Get CPAC Endorsement for
Workgroup Initiate Development of Functional
Specification

The Process Analytics Community 1M?
Food for Thought

• Convene a Process Analytics Connectivity Focus
  Group (Sponsored by CPAC or ISA
  AD?) Representation End-users/Analyzer Vendors

•    Develop a consensus about Proprietary vs Open
  Model (POM) (Learn from FF and OPCF?) - Vendor
  Issue

•   Agree on the System Functionality Requirements
  - End-User Issue

• Understand the possible range of
  compatible/incompatible solutions(Hardware
  Software)

•   Propose a plan to develop a connectivity/infrast
  ructure model (Include industry acceptance)

•   Continue?
