ISA103 - Field Device Tools (FDT) Interface Demo
ISA104 - Electronic Device Description Language(EDDL)
Committee meetings and overview presentations are planned for many key topics. A complete schedule of events will be available later this year.
ISA12 – Created to formulate standards, recommended practices, and technical reports for safe and practical use of equipment in hazardous (classified) locations, and for equipment used for the detection of combustible gases.
ISA18 – Establishes terminology and practices for alarm systems, including the definition, design, installation, operation, maintenance and modification and work processes recommended to effectively maintain an alarm system over time.
ISA84 – Develops standards and technical reports for use in applying Electrical/Electronic/Programmable Electronic Systems (E/E/PES) for use in process safety applications.
ISA92 – Formulates standards, recommended practices, and technical reports for workplace ambient air measurement instrumentation that is used to enhance worker health and safety.
ISA99 – Establishes standards, recommended practices, technical reports, and related information that will defi ne procedures for implementing electronically secure manufacturing and control systems and security practices and assessing electronic security performance. Guidance is directed towards those responsible for designing, implementing, or managing manufacturing and control systems and shall also apply to users, system integrators, security practitioners, and control systems manufacturers and vendors.
ISA100 – Was formed to establish standards and related information that will define technologies and procedures for implementing wireless systems in the automation and control environment with a focus on the field level. The committee is made up of over 600 automation professionals from over 250 companies around the world, lending their expertise from a variety of industrial backgrounds.
ISA88 – Develops standards and recommended practices as appropriate for the design and specification of batch control systems used in the process control industries.
ISA95 – Creates standards that define the interface between manufacturing control functions and other enterprise functions. These standards define common terminology and also define electronic data exchange between these functions.
OpenO&M – An initiative of multiple industry standards organizations to provide a harmonized set of standards for the exchange of Operations & Maintenance (O&M) data and associated context. OpenO&M is an open, collaborative effort composed of diverse groups of relevant organizations and subject matter experts organized in industry specific Joint Working Groups (JWG) that are focused on enabling O&M application interoperability. Members include ISA, MIMOSA, OAGi, OPC Foundation, and WBF. The goal of the JWGs is to offer domain end users a harmonized set of data exchange standards while avoiding duplication of work.
ISA67 – Is organized to be the focal point in ISA for documenting through standards publications: criteria, standards, practices, and procedures related to instrumentation and controls in nuclear power generating stations and associated industries.
ISA77 – Is organized to be the focal point in ISA for documenting through standards publications: criteria, standards, practices, and procedures related to instrumentation controls in fossil power generating stations.
ISA5 – The purpose of this standard is to establish a system of graphic symbols for displays that are used by plant operators for process measurement and control. The standard is suitable for use in the chemical, petroleum, power generation, air conditioning, metal refining, and numerous other industries.
ISA20 – Formed to promote uniformity in instrument specifications, both in content and form. Because of the complexity of present day instruments and controls, it is desirable to have some type of specification form to list pertinent details for use by all interested parties.
ISA101 – Establishes standards, recommended practices, and/or technical reports pertaining to human-machine interfaces in manufacturing applications. The areas covered within ISA101’s work will include: menu hierarchies, screen navigation conventions, graphics and color conventions, dynamic elements, alarming conventions, security methods and electronic signature attributes, interfaces with background programming and historical databases, popup conventions, help screens and methods used to work with alarms, program object interfaces, and configuration interfaces to databases, servers, and networks.
ISA103 – Ensures the consistent management of plant-wide control and automation technology within industrial process control and manufacturing execution systems with the benefit of savings in operation, engineering, and maintenance of the control systems.
ISA104 – Standardizes a Descriptive Language intended for use in industrial automation applications. These applications may include devices such as generic digital and analogue input/output modules, motion controllers, human machine interfaces, sensors, valves, closed-loop controllers, encoders, hydraulic valves, and programmable controllers.
