Fieldbus Foundation Sets Up Technology Blog

The Fieldbus Foundation has announced that it has established a new blog addressing a wide range of issues affecting the world of FOUNDATION technology. The blog will cover topics of interest to fieldbus equipment suppliers, end users, engineering firms, system integrators, and others.

FOUNDATION fieldbus provides a supplier-neutral, standards-based process automation infrastructure for plant operational excellence. The technology is designed to enable process integrity; business intelligence; and open, scalable integration in a managed environment.

The Fieldbus Foundation's global marketing manager, Larry O'Brien, will moderate the new FOUNDATION fieldbus blog. According to O'Brien, there is an increasing need for up-to-date fieldbus news and analysis within the global industrial automation community. "FOUNDATION fieldbus has emerged as the 'technology-of-choice" among digital control solutions for the process automation industry, particularly in growing markets such as Asia-Pacific, Latin America and the Middle East," said O'Brien. "Today, with millions of devices installed and FOUNDATION fieldbus controlling some of the world's largest process plants, there is strong interest in learning more about this enabling technology."
