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

The Process Analytics Community 1M?
Food for Thought

• Convene a Process Analytics Connectivity Focus
  Group(Sponsored by CPAC or MCEC 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?
