![]() ISA can help you whether you are in Data Processing and Management or you operate a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system, or you work in a plant with a Distributed Control System (DCS), or a set of Programmable controllers. ISA has the data and expertise to teach you how to use all of these, and do so safely and securely. You can even find the venerable Modbus protocol, which is the oldest manufacturing data transfer protocol still in common use and is nearly 50 years old. Specially hardened wired networks, running Industrial Ethernet, or Foundation fieldbus (based on the ISA50 Standard), Profibus or Profinet, or Ethercat or Anybus are often found. Other networks including ISA100, WirelessHART, and Zigbee are widely used. You will find wireless in the plant, and only some of it will be WiFi. While the techniques are similar, they are NOT the same, and firewalls, routers, cyber security, and field device protocols must all be approached differently than with an office network. Networks are ubiquitous and ISA has the technology, tools, and techniques to help you understand the differences between Enterprise or office networks and industrial networks. Today, communications is the heart of our society and the nervous system of automation and manufacturing. ![]()
