There have been discussions regarding the convergence of the ISA100.11a and WirelessHART standards. What is the status of that effort?
The ISA100 Wireless Compliance Institute fully supports the approved ISA100.11a standard. The role of WCI is to provide conformance programs and supporting services for approved standards. The ISA Industrial Wireless Standards Committee has established the ISA100.12 working group to study convergence. We recommend contacting committee co-chairmen Wayne Manges with ORNL or Patrick Schweitzer with ExxonMobil Research & Engineering for progress updates on that initiative.
