FDT
My first stop was with Glenn Schultz, director of theFDT Group(www.fdtgroup.org). He reported the FDT certification office has experienced a record surge in DTM certifications in the first six months of 2012. More than 900 intelligent devices are supported by 42 newly issued certificates.

Vendors wishing to certify their FDT DTMs as complying with the FDT standard must submit their DTM to an authorized, independent test laboratory for extensive automated and manual tests. Upon successful completion of the test, the FDT Group issues a certificate of conformance for the DTM.

Attendees at the recently completed FDT2 Developer's Workshop in Seligenstadt, Germany demonstrated how easy it is to develop FDT2 DTMs when they completed twenty six DTMs in less than two days. The hands-on workshop centered around the use of the FDT2 DTM Common Components that provide nearly all of the functionality needed to develop FDT2 compliant products.

Participating companies included CodeWrights, who lead the workshop; Hilscher; ICS; ifak systems; Invensys; Krohne; M&M Software; Omron; Phoenix Contact; Rockwell Automation; Schneider Electric; Sick; Turck; VEGA; Wago; and Weidmuller.

HART Communication Foundation
执行董事Ron Helson的HART Communication Foundation（www.hartcomm.org）在本组织中指出了显着的增长，特别是在Wirelesshart此时，在此时运行可验证的8,000个网络。

他注意到的其他积分包括最近对HART规范的增强功能（在批准过程中）：新的红外（IR）物理层 - 设备的新选项
configuration; HART IP - specifies and standardizes the transport protocol for HART over IP as used by Remote I/O, multiplexers, gateways, etc. New Common Practice Commands - provides standardized support to NAMUR NE 107 for condensed status notification -Failure, Out of Specification, Function Check or Maintenance Required; Additional standardization and clarification for WirelessHART Gateway interface to automation systems including KPI's, New commands for Discrete, Hybrid Discrete and Discrete Adapters as well as support for additional "on/off" type devices.

这number of installed HART devices now exceeds 35 million and growing. The Foundation has expanded operations in China.

And, last but not least, the 2011 HART Plant of the Year is Shell Scotford Upgrader in Canada.


MACTek
当mactek.(www.mactekcorp.com) stand, I saw the Bullet Wireless interface modem to HART that, among other things, allows engineers to multi drop 8 devices to a wireless modem.

ProComSol Ltd.
ProComSol(Process Communications Solutions, www.procomsol.com) was founded in 2005 dedicated to providing products for users of HART technology. The HM-USB-ISO HART Modem is a cost-effective certified USB HART Modem. Its Bluetooth HART modems first appeared on the market in 2005.

现场总线基金会
现场总线基金会(www.fieldbus.org) displayed a technology kiosk dedicated to the demonstration of its latest development initiative – Foundation for Remote Operations Management (ROM). Developed in response to the increasing challenges facing remote applications within the process automation industry, Foundation for ROM offers a unified digital infrastructure for asset management. The technology enables fieldbus connectivity to remote I/O and the integration of leading industrial protocols including ISA 100.11a, WirelessHART, wired HART and wired FF H1 protocols into a single standard environment.

Sofraser
由于一位充满活力的营销顾问，我被介绍给了Sofraser(www.sofraser.com) a French company, new to me, that invented a vibration technology viscometer. It can be used not only offline in a lab setting, but also for online testing in petroleum production. It has established an office in Houston. Look for more visibility in the United States.

罗克韦尔自动化
我和我谈过的人罗克韦尔自动化(www.rockwellautomation.com) stand told me that business was still good for the process business.

这company released two new linking devices that provide PlantPAx process automation system users with connectivity to Foundation Fieldbus devices. The Allen-Bradley 1788-EN2FFR and 1788-CN2FFR linking devices provide a direct link from EtherNet/IP or ControlNet networks to the Foundation Fieldbus H1 device-level network, making the integration of Foundation Fieldbus devices intuitive and seamless.

Another new release concerned added new tools to Pavilion8 model predictive control software, giving users the ability to create simple to complex process models on their own. Leveraging a powerful modeling engine, Pavilion8 software version 4.0 gathers all data from within a facility – including equations, empirical data and heuristics – to help users develop a robust model of the process. The software continuously assesses current and predicted operational data, compares it to desired results, and computes new control targets to reduce in-process variability and improve process performance.

Phoenix Contact
我的停留Phoenix Contact（www.phoenixcon.com）强调Wirelesshart设备和在汉诺威发布的新型无线电线产品系列，这是用于串行和I / O通信的FHSS无线电。

B&R Automation

这B&R Automation(www.br-automation.com) stand emphasized hydraulic-to-electric control and integrated control through its Automation Studio.

ABB.
Most of us in the US know about theABB.(www.abb.com) 800xA system, but the company spokesman showed me the Freelance controller--smaller and scalable.
