HSE remote I/O project gaining momentum
The Fieldbus Foundation is moving forward on the development of a specification standardising the interface of remote I/O into the open, integrated Foundation automation infrastructure
The announcement was made by the Fieldbus Foundation while conducting its 2008 General Assembly in Antwerp The new High Speed Ethernet Remote I/O (HSE-RIO) specification will define the structure for interfacing remote I/O over the Fieldbus Foundation tightly integrated HSE control backbone

The addition of remote I/O further tightens the integration of process instrumentation within the Foundation fieldbus architecture.
The HSE-RIO project has gained momentum in recent months.
The Fieldbus Foundation End User Advisory Council (EUAC) completed its review of use cases for the HSE-RIO specification and submitted its comments to the Foundation Technical Steering Committee (TSC).
EUAC review, which involves leading process automation end users from around the world, is a vital step in the process of developing new areas of Foundation technology.
For example, end user feedback led to the development of HSE using COTS (commercial off the shelf) equipment and the Foundation Safety Instrumented Functions (SIF) project.
Fieldbus Foundation President and CEO Rich Timoney termed the HSE-RIO initiative "an important step forward" providing operational and business benefits for automation end users.
"Device networks offer communication capabilities, but do not provide a complete automation infrastructure.
Foundation fieldbus delivers process integrity, business intelligence, and open scalable integration in a managed environment, making it a true system infrastructure.
Users will realise CAPEX and OPEX benefits from incorporating remote I/O in this technology".
Remote I/O working group members include: ABB, APAT, Azonix Corp, Emerson Process Management, Endress+Hauser PCPS, Microcyber , MooreHawke, MTL, Pepperl+Fuchs, Phoenix Contact, R Stahl, RuggedCom, Smar, Softing AG, Sterling Valley Associates, Turck, Yamatake and Yokogawa.
