现场总线基金会与ISA宣布无线合作计划

Houston, Texas,October 14, 2008 -- The Fieldbus Foundation and ISA announced an agreement to facilitate the implementation of wireless backhaul transport networks. This technology initiative is based on shared interests in serving the needs of end users and suppliers of wireless systems in industrial automation.

休斯顿10月14日消息——现场总线基金会和ISA宣布就促进无线回程传输网络的实施达成了一项协议。这项技术计划是基于双方服务于工业自动化领域无线系统终端用户和供应商需求的共同利益。

Representatives both organizations discussed the wireless project at ISA EXPO 2008 in Houston, Texas, a leading international exposition focused on the technology and techniques of automation and control.

两家机构的代表在德州休斯顿的ISA EXPO 2008博览会上讨论了该无线项目，该博览会是一个专注于自动化以及控制技术和工艺的重要国际展会。

At an ISA100 meeting in June, ISA100 leaders established a new working group, ISA100.15-Wireless Backhaul Networks Working Group-to develop and maintain a standard to address one or more dedicated or shared wireless backhaul(s) to support technologies running multiple applications. The first of these backbones will be the Fieldbus Foundation's High Speed Ethernet (HSE) implementation.

在六月份的一次ISA100会议上，ISA100领导者成立了一个新的工作组——ISA100.15无线回程网络工作组，来制定和维护一个标准来解决一个或多个专用或共用无线回程，以支持技术运行于多个应用程序。这其中的第一个中坚力量将是基金会现场总线高速以太网(HSE)的实施。

To expedite the work, the Fieldbus Foundation and ISA have entered into a cross-licensing agreement allowing the two organizations to collaborate on wireless networks. To enable the ISA100.15 working group to develop the wireless backhaul standard, it will be necessary to use extracts of Fieldbus Foundation specifications as well as parts of other ISA standards in development.

为了加快工作，基金会现场总线和ISA达成了一个交叉许可协议，允许这两个组织就无线网络进行合作。为了使ISA100.15工作组可以制定无线回程标准，在制定过程中需要使用基金会现场总线规范的摘录以及部分其他的ISA标准。

Dave Glanzer, Fieldbus Foundation director of technology development and co-chair of the ISA100.15 working group noted, "The Fieldbus Foundation recognizes the opportunities that are emerging with wireless applications and believes that effectively interfacing with ISA100 systems will serve as a basis for extending the value and applicability of FOUNDATION technology in industry."

基金会现场总线技术开发总监并共同主持ISA100.15工作组的Dave Glanzer指出：“现场总线基金会认识到无线应用带来了很多机会，也相信与ISA100系统的有效连接将成为扩大FOUNDATION技术在工业领域的价值和应用性的一个基础。

"I am pleased to be playing a critical role in helping ISA100 fulfill its mission, and fostering collaboration between ISA100 and the Fieldbus Foundation," said Penny Chen, principal systems architect with Yokogawa and co-chair of the working group.

横河主系统架构师并共同主持工作组的Penny Chen表示：”我很高兴能够发挥重要的作用，帮助ISA100履行其使命，并促进ISA100和现场总线基金会的合作。“

Wireless technology has improved in performance and ease-of-use, and a variety of wireless technologies are now being deployed for different applications in mixed environments. These developments bring the need for a wireless backhaul transport network to facilitate interoperability, end-to-end security, and end-to-end quality of service. End users have reported a strong need for this because multiple wireless technologies have been deployed in the same environment for various applications, all needing transport over the common shared wireless media backhaul.

无线技术改善了性能和易用性，而且目前各种无线技术正在混合环境里部署在不同的应用中。这些发展导致需要一个无线回程传输网络，以促进互操作性、端到端安全以及端到端服务质量。据报道，终端用户非常需要这个，因为多种无线技术已被部署在同一个环境中的各种应用，所有这些都需要通过共同分享无线媒介回程传输。   

As part of the wireless backhaul network initiative, the Fieldbus Foundation and ISA will develop a standard to interface between different technologies suitable for backhaul networking; address wireless co-existence (frequency sharing) related to the backhaul networks; define prioritization of multiple applications and ensure quality of service; support multiple application protocol translators; and address security issues on backhaul networks. ISA will publish the technical documents as a standard within the ISA100 family of standards, and the standard will be jointly owned by the two organizations and used accordingly in the marketplace.

作为无线回程网络计划的一部分，基金会现场总线和ISA将制定一个标准，为适用于回程联网的不同技术之间提供连接; 解决无线共存（频率共用）相关的回程网络;确定多种应用的优先次序，并确保服务质量;支持多种应用协议转换器;以及解决回程网络的安全问题。ISA将出版的技术文件作为ISA100系列标准中的一个标准，而该标准将被这两个组织共同拥有，并应用于相应的市场。
