Fieldbus Foundation, HART and Profibus cooperate on wireless
 
基金會現場總線、HART和Profibus就無線技術展開合作

Austin, Texas, Sept. 28, 2007 -- The Fieldbus Foundation has joined the HART Communication Foundation and Profibus Nutzerorganisation e.V. (PNO) in launching a cooperative initiative for wireless technology in the manufacturing and process industries. The new project is an extension of the organizations' successful collaboration on Electronic Device Description Language (EDDL) and another step to deliver consistent functionality to automation end users.

奧斯汀9月28日消息——基金會現場總線聯合HART通訊基金會和Profibus組織發表一份合作協議，開始制造和過程工業的無線技術的合作計劃。此項新的計劃是這三個組織繼成功合作EDDL（電子設備描述語言）后的一項擴展，是為自動化終端用戶提供一致功能的另一個步驟。

As part of the wireless initiative, the three industry organizations will develop a specification for a common interface to a wireless gateway. They have agreed to base their work on the WirelessHART technology of the HART Communication Foundation and the emerging ISA SP100.11a standard. The project will include development of use cases, requirements and specifications for wireless communication with intelligent field devices in process measurement and control applications in the automation industries.

作為無線計劃的一部份，這三個工業組織將開發一個連接無線網關的通用界面的規范。三方已經同意基于HART通信基金會的WirelessHART技術，以及發展較快的ISA SP100.11a標準進行開發。該計劃將包括在自動化工業過程測量和控制應用領域與智能現場設備實現無線通信的使用案例、要求和規范的開發。

As was done with their EDDL cooperation, the Fieldbus Foundation, HART and PROFIBUS groups have also agreed to develop a common set of compliance guidelines for incorporation into their respective product registration processes.

與他們EDDL合作所作的那樣，基金會現場總線、HART和Profibus集團也已經同意制定一套共同遵守的準則，納入各自的產品注冊流程。

The introduction of wireless technology into the manufacturing and process industries will require suppliers, end users, and international standards bodies to address technical issues related to wireless applications. The Fieldbus Foundation, HART and PROFIBUS organizations are working together in the interest of establishing a common, open standard while insuring complete compatibility with the existing wired versions of each participant's technology. The intent of the collaboration is to facilitate the acceptance of wireless technology in industrial automation.

在制造業和流程工業引入無線技術將要求供應商、最終用戶以及國際標準機構解決跟無線應用相關的技術問題。基金會現場總線、HART和Profibus組織正在共同努力，致力于建立一個共同的開放標準，同時確保與每個參與者技術現有的有限版本完成兼容。本次合作計劃是為了促進在工業自動化領域普及無線技術。
